Nothing. Intact males can smell an intact female in heat up to a mile away. Part of maintaining two intact dogs is dealing with frustrated male dogs while your girl is in season.

Make sure you keep them separated 100%. Dogs can mate through chainlink fences when they are ambitious and it takes less than 10 seconds for a pair to breed.

Oh yeah, enough to drive you crazy, isn't it? Mine will even stop eating entirely, living and breathing only to figure out a way to get to that girl. If you find something to hide the scent do please tell me!

Just one of the things you have to learn to live with unless you get one of them fixed.
People are like slinky's, not really good for much. But its still fun to push them down the stairs.

You can put a pair of the specially made panties on her and at least let him play with her every once in awhile. Completely supervised ofcourse because those panties are not 100% protection. But having a little access to her may put him at ease, at least a little bit. Thats what i do with my boys when they start crying as if they are dying LoL. They get a little play time running with her and it makes them think they accomplished some kind of goal.

I do not agree with lovebug. I would not let an intact male anywhere near a female in heat unless I was planning to breed.

As others have said it is something you have to deal with and there is really nothing that will help.

Heat cycles last on average 21 days give or take. I have a female that stays in for 30. It is a huge pain in the neck at times. However, I show my dogs so they need to be intact. If I did not show and work them, they would be fixed.

Lovebug... so we should tell teenage boys they can play with our daughters in their undergarments and it will help cool them off... pishhh...


The best thing you can do is kennel your male for a few weeks, and watch your female like a hawk, she should never be alone even for a moment!!!!!!!!!!
Of course there's no "I" in team... but hey look! There is an "I" in pie :)

1. keep them separate at least a week after the day you are positive the female is no longer in heat. They can fool you.
2. buy some ear protection like they use at shooting ranges and follow the instructions on the package.
3. thank heaven you have little dogs.
ummmm....let me get back to you on that

I know it hurts your feelings to see him sad and acting that way. My dog did it too. He wouldn't eat until she was done and he wouldn't sleep in his house with her. The good news is that it will pass. Just takes some time. Try showing him a little extra attention too. Give him some snacks and massage. Maybe he'll like that, but as for the smell...I don't think there is anything you can do.

Lol like teenage daughters have anything to do with it. How silly of you. Each breeder deals with this issue in their own way. Allowing supervised play time is how i handle it and it works very well for us and our boys. Keeps everyone sane and nobody gets pregnant either. If this person can be trusted to provide complete supervison then short periods of playtime is an option that may help him/her.

PLEASE do not let them play together!That is just asking for an accident to happen.

Lovebug, I would think you would take it much more seriously. You've had 2 breeding accidents, 1 with a young mother who wouldn't care for the pups and you lost the entire litter.Please don't recommend something so irresponsible!

Letting them play together doesn't relieve any kind of frustration unless your male is an idiot. It's not the actually "act" of breeding. That's what they are after. In fact, you're probably making him MORE crazy by letting him play with her.

Honestly, if you can't handle how they behave when you have a bitch in season, get one or both spay/neutered. You think that's bad... wait until you have 8 week old puppies barking at 5 in the morning wanting to play! And should you breed her, with toy breeds, you should really keep the puppies until they are at least 12 weeks old...

While I don't necessarily push that everyone in the world needs to spay/neuter - it is an owner's choice - I however strong feel that if you're not up to the task of responsibly maintaining intact animals that you NEED to spay/neuter. It's not pleasant having intact dogs. It's not a game. It should be a choice you make for a good reason understanding that you have a lot of things you have to suck up.

And BTW your male is probably going to start spraying in the house on a regular basis now - especially in the areas you've been keeping your female while she's in season. That scent will stick around for a while...

Correct but that acceidental breeding had nothing at all to do with letting them play together in the manner that i have described. Our home was under construction at that time and the dogs were all confined to separate rooms which were not to be opened. The construction workers opened those doors and allowed dogs to run loose when i was not home which resulted in the termination of those workers by their own company.

Don't stir crap up if you don't know the whole story. What i have reccomended is a perfectly suitable solution and it is up to the OP weather or not they wish use it or one of the other suggestions they have been offered.

And the other happened while you were in the home- it only takes a second...

Correct and quite obviously i have no problem admitting that. But once again it was not a situation like the one i described for the OP. The mating you are reffering to when i was in the home was a couple years ago and taught me that a fence without a top is not enough to contain some dogs. Thankfully it did not result in puppies because it was much to late in her cycle anyways. A very good lesson nevertheless.

You know what i find kinda funny though. You seem to be my own personal troll. Looks like the only time you've ever used the name timeone was to attack me. Which i wouldn't have known had it not been for these neato new features TP has. You're totally creeping me out now though.

My humble suggestion is to have the male go to doggy camp or to the home of a breeder friend, friend or relative.

Keeping intact male(s) around a female in heat is just asking for grief. PERIOD.

The other idea bantied around here is just plain goofy.
I like him a lot better than I like most people. To you he's a dog. TO me he's an adopted son who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn't speak clearly. I have no problem with any of these. <

What you've said goes to show, your back can be turned for a minute, that's all it takes for an accident to happen. The poster could let them play together, and the phone rings, or any other distraction that can happen in real life.Why in the world take the chance??? How many times do we hear "Well I had them in separate rooms,but so and so let them out, they didn't realize", or "my husband put them put to potty together, he didn't know it could happen so quick", or, "my son thought Buster sounded lonely, so he put Fifi in the bedroom with her" ??? It's really best to get the male out of the house for the duration if possible, and if not, keep them separated at all cost!

I agre with the posters who reccomend keeping the dogs completely seperate.
The cryin and wanting to be with he female is not lonliness, and the type of play he is looking for will onlytake a second for your next post to begin....my female was accidentally bred,I didnt know it could happen so fast.....

Letting him near her i only goin to make his frustration and attempts to get to her worse. Dont chance it.
I do not send my males out of the house whenever a girl comes in, but being responsible and making certain everyone in the home is aware of the seperation rules will prevent any issues.
People are like slinky's, not really good for much. But its still fun to push them down the stairs.

I used to have a stud dog in my house with my intact girls. LOL--and someday I will have another one.

I kept them separated 100% of the time during the 3 weeks of her heat cycle. Do not let them play together. A tie can happen in a split second and then it is all over. I have Boxers so they are much harder to deal with than a smaller breed when it comes to trying to overpower them.

I would crate one in a separate room and rotate whom had house privileges. When I went to work, I would keep her crated in a back backroom with the door closed. My male would be crated in the front room. My one spayed girl would probably be laughing and pointing at them both :)

My male started to mark my house when he got older. He only marked areas that I was used to being at. He was marking his territory; me. So be prepared for that to start. Almost impossible to stop once they get going.

And don't just lock him up. Bitches are very very sneaky and can breed through a crate or a chain link fence.

Yes, my male would howl, whine and stop eating for days. It was quite distressing to see him carrying on in such a fashion. But Mother Nature is a stronger force than anyone on this forum :)
