Male dogs are often attracted to female dogs in heat, because they are biologically programmed to respond to female scents. Keeping a male dog next to a female dog during estrus is stressful for both dogs. You should separate male dogs from female dogs and create a relaxing, safe environment for them. If you are raising such a pair together, you can avoid having the two of them copulating. In addition, both should be sterilized to reduce the risk of unwanted pregnancy and prevent some types of cancer, and make them behave better.
Steps
Separate male dogs from female dogs
- Do not walk male and female dogs together or let them play together.
- Make sure there are no female toys or objects in the male dog’s room, as they will smell. Smelling a bitch from such things causes male dogs to whine, howl, or scratch at the door.
- This is only an appropriate option when the weather is good and local laws do not prohibit keeping dogs outside.
- Do not keep the female dog outside while she is in heat as she may escape and find a male to mate with.
- You can prepare for this process by acclimatizing the male dog to the kennel environment. You can reserve a large kennel for the male dog to stay in during heat.
Set up a relaxing home environment
- Avoid letting your dog lick the medication by enticing a toy or food while it dries.
- This medicine can cause discomfort to your dog, you should consult your veterinarian before taking it.
- After spending time with the male dog, switch to playing with the female dog in the room while keeping the male dog outside in the fenced-in yard.
- Try to balance playtime with the two dogs, in separate areas, so that both of you can relax and calm down.
- Avoid taking a female dog for a walk during estrus as she can affect neighboring male dogs. Only let the female dog play outside in the fenced-in yard and watch so she doesn’t follow any passing male dogs.
Sterilize male dogs
- Remember that neutering does not prevent male dogs from reacting to lustful female dogs, only partial control. You will still need to separate neutered male dogs from female dogs as a precaution.
- Follow the clinic’s instructions to make sure the surgery goes smoothly.
- The male dog’s scrotum may be swollen for a few days, and the swelling should go away once the incision is sutured.
- If your dog keeps licking the incision, have him wear an anti-licking ring, which is a funnel-shaped ring that prevents the dog from licking the wound.
- If the incision is oozing pus and the dog seems to be in pain, bring it to the clinic right away.
- You will need to bring your dog back to the clinic to have the stitches removed. However, some clinics will use self-dissolving floss.
