I've never actually had a male dog, and the females have all been
spayed, so this isn't something I have had to face.
Having to cope with a bitch on heat, particularly, let us say, a
mastiff, with amorous male dogs around must be a nightmare.
I have a friend whose JR will hump everything in sight, table legs,
people legs, cushions, other male dogs, and that is even after the snip.
We just ignore him, but strangers are a bit surprised.
This is a bad time of the year for some dogs and for animals in general.
Fireworks can completely traumatise them and few veterinary
tranquillisers seem to work effectively.
