1. When a female dog is in estrus, due to the strong secretion of female hormones in urgent need of release, she will particularly want to go out to find a mate. If the female dog is not neutered, she will imitate the male dog in mating postures.

2. The female dog will come into heat when she is in estrus, which lasts for about two weeks.

3. Normal female dogs go into estrus twice a year, usually once in spring from March to May and once in autumn from September to November.

4. Usually in the early stage of a female dog’s estrus, the female dog will attract the male dog but refuse to mate with the male dog. In the middle stage, the female dog will cater to the male dog.

1. Stagger the peak periods for dog walking in the community, and do not take the female dog to places where dogs gather to avoid encountering Male dog.

2. Bring sanitary trousers and put them on your dog after he has finished peeing. One is to prevent male dogs from mating, and the other is to prevent female dogs from making the house dirty.
