If you own a female dog and she has not been spayed, you will have to put up with the times she comes into season which can be seriously challenging on many levels. You Must Keep Her on the Lead With this said, you must keep your dog on the lead if you take her out for a walk, no matter where you take her. Whether it's along the road, in a park or out in the country, when she is in season she will have to stay on her lead at all times. The reason being that other dogs in the vicinity will know she is on heat and will automatically head her way. Plan a Safe Route to Walk Your Dog As previously mentioned taking a dog that's in season out for a walk can be a little challenging. This means planning your route well in advance and thinking about what other dogs you are likely encounter along the way.
You may also find your dog wants to pee a lot more because this is her way of letting the dog world know that she's in heat. All male dogs will pick up on this scent and if they are allowed to, they will follow it right to your front door which hopefully they would not be allowed to do, but you never know. The best way to prevent this from happening is to put your dog in the car and take them to a park that's not too close to where you live. Avoid Very Busy Parks It's best to avoid very busy parks where lots of owners regularly take their dogs so they can run off their leads.

You'll need to avoid areas where she'll be approached by dogs off lead. take her for walks at less busy times of day to avoid unwanted attention. be prepared to keep her on a lead in public areas. Male dogs in the home and out on walks will become very interested in your female dog during this time as her urine contains pheromones and hormones that let dogs know she is in season. She can become pregnant any time during a season and for a few days afterwards.
