Pet (dog) interacts nonstop with bushes

[Simrissie]

I'm having a glitch where my Sim's pet (dog) keeps interacting nonstop with the interactive bushes (the ones that sims can "fertilize", nap in, woohoo in etc.). If I have one of those bushes on a residential lot, the pet will literally do nothing else but jump in the bush nonstop. It is extremely annoying because every couple of hours the pet shows a "bitten by a squirrel" or "sprayed by a skunk" moodlet. 

I have tried repairing my game, deleting the pet and creating a new pet from CAS, and moving to other residential lots. I don't get the same problem with cats in the same household.

I hadn’t seen this previously, but I also hadn’t played much with pee bushes and dogs at the same time. It’s definitely a problem in Moonwood Mills though, because there’s a pee bush in the off-lot world somewhere. I moved a family in with a puppy on a lot I had added a pee bush to, and as soon as he aged up to dog he was just constantly being bitten by squirrels. I then deleted the bush off the lot but he just ran off and found one in the world and continued to be bitten by squirrels at the same pace.
