Exercise while on heat
Hey all, my nearly 1 year old GSP has just started her first heat. It’s my first time having a female dog as an adult so it’s completely new to me. My main concern is her still being able to be adequately exercised while on heat.
I’ve done some reading online and the general idea of what I’ve seen is no taking her into public because of the risk of aggression for other dogs, and also no leaving her unattended in our backyard in case an in tact dog manages to get in and get to her. So with that all in mind, how am I possibly going to give her enough exercise to fill her needs? She normally gets lots of exercise on a daily basis and it feels like that’s almost going to need to drop to zero. She will be getting spayed as soon as she’s stopped growing.
What did you all do?
