Hello, Dogs can tie and untie normally while mating. Pulling away may be a sign she is uninterested. If the male dog's penis is stuck outside of the sheath, that may be a medical emergency. The female dog shouldn't experience any problems from stopping sex. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
