Not as an autonomic response, but under severe emotional conditions the body might be triggered to do so. There are many cases when mothers were able to breastfeed their adoptive children. There has even been cases in Africa where males were able to breastfeed a child when the mother passed away. (That‘s not a rumor.)

How do you make a woman lactate?

I don't think you could "make" a woman lactate. It is certainly very possible for a woman to induce lactation without being pregnant. This process takes a bit of work and effort by the woman. An important element in inducing lactation is for the woman to have a strong desire for her milk to come in. The tone of the question suggests the possibility of one person forcing a woman to lactate using medications without the woman's consent. This would not only be wrong it would be doomed to failure.


Can you make a non pregnant dog lactate?

You cannot "make" a non-pregnant dog lactate, but intact female dogs will sometimes lactate. Dogs retain their corpus luteum, and sometimes have a "pseudo-pregnancy." Pregnancy in dogs cannot be determined by the fact that they are lactating for this reason.
