My male dog whines non-stop after female's bath. What's wrong?

Question

Hi, I currently have 2 dogs, a male and a female, but the female no longer has the parts to mate, just so that's clear. We bathed HER about a week ago, and up till that point, the male was perfectly okay. But as soon as we bathed her, the male now whines and whines, and hasn't stopped for a while now. What is the problem, and how do we stop it? Thanks, Jack L. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male

That's hard to say. It could be that your male dog doesn't like whatever scented shampoo you used, or that your female doesn't smell like "herself". The act of being apart or seeing her get bathed may also have been stressful for him. Giving him some time to settle down, or offering a distracting toy or treat to chew on may help him calm down and relax. If either of your dogs show any signs of illness, or your male doesn't settle down after a day or so, a vet checkup is always a good idea to rule out any health issues.
