To maximize their chance of becoming pregnant, several biological and behavioral changes occur due to the hormonal changes. The changes that occur during proestrus and estrus will have an impact on the male dogs nearby, which can make them act a bit bonkers. If you have a male and female dog in your home, the female going into heat can completely throw off the male dog. Some males will do absolutely anything to reach the females, and even very well-behaved males can become quite erratic. This should be done to prevent unwanted pregnancy. An intact male should never be around a female in heat unless you plan on having puppies. The dogs should be separated and, ideally, stay in different houses for the duration of the heat. If both need to stay in the same house, you can use a barrier to keep them apart. You can bathe your dog using a mild shampoo. Get your male dog out of the house as much as possible. Go on walks and make them tired. If you are certain you don’t want to breed your dogs, neutering your male dog and/or spaying your female dog is the most effective way to help calm your male dog. Surgery is by far the most effective way to prevent the behavioral changes that occur when a female is in heat and a male is around.

I have upped the length and frequency of his normal walks, increased play time, and am just trying to be understanding in general. Is there anything else you recommend to help him feel better.
