The more obvious signs of a female dog in heat are physical, but they vary widely dog-to-dog.

How do dogs act when they are in heat

When your dog is in heat she gives off pheromones which a male dog can smell from miles away. Other female dogs may be aggressive toward her and she may be aggressive back. If you don’t want your dog mating with other dogs while she’s in heat, it’s important that you keep your dog away from male dogs during this time.
