To lock Kodak up, he will scratch and whine all day and my neighbors will complain. I'm assuming they won't spay until the heat cycle is up, so I will get it done next month.

Txshopper, you say "Be prepared for howling and whining from your male...at all hours of the night!"

I doubt she would let him 'poke' her if she isn't ready. Once she is flagging she is ready.
They are dogs and dogs will hump each other even if no one is in season. Mine like to hump their toys sometimes. Usually it's a dominance thing.
