Separate rooms? Wow. May have to turn the spare bedroom into a doggie room after summer rental season. Just pulled the gate across the living room and put the girls in the kitchen. I will have to make another trip to the pet store chain to get another enclosure for the kitchen...LOL

I guess there are no "hands on" solutions? Is that something that is a no no? What do the professionals do? Just let him cool down on his own?

Hello I'm by no means a professional unless you want to call going through this keeping Males and Females separated since February 25, 08 a professional..I have 2 males & 3 females, all my females are turning 1 this Spring/Summer we don't want any puppies until the Spring of 2009, so there for it's hard on my boys, they are in a big "LONG" play pen in our living room in the front of our house with our girls being in the back of our house in our Yorkie room, there is 2 doors I can close or put gates in the doorways (I have a gate 100% of the time in the doorway to our Yorkie room from our bedroom).

Sage had a Split Heat Cycle on me which meant she went back into heat again a Month after she had her orginal 1st Heat Cycle, I never brought my boys back into our Yorkie room, if I had of I may of been whelping puppies due to her Split Heat Cycle and me never going through it. Sofie just finished her Heat Cycle and Weezie is still yet to have hers. So from experience with 1 Split Heat Cycle I will NEVER allow my Males and Female together until 6 weeks from the END of their Heat Cycles, I just want to make sure that we don't have no accidents.

With that being said my Boys are staying in my living room until well maybe all year long who knows with having 3 girls and all their Heat Cycle coming in different Months they may not be ables to visit each other till next year??? Time will tell.

I would get him and her away from each other, maybe take one to a bedroom or ??? But the further away they are the better behaved your boy will be...& this will allow him to calm down on his own.

And NEVER under estimate a MALE Yorkie...They will do what ever they have to in order to get to a female in heat & they have been known to get through gates before.

And his marking will get worse with age, right before Sage started her Heat Cycle I had all 5 of them together in our Yorkie room, Mr. Galahad was bound and determined to let my Teddy know Sage was his, I timed him, he marked 18 times in like 15 minutes...He had a band on and needless to say it was wet and after that I took our boys to the living room.

When you 1st separate them oh yeah he's gonna hoop and holler and go on but he'll get use to it...He may still go on some but not as bad as when you 1st separate them. Have you tried taking him for a walk or outside for a little bit when he gets to hollering? I take my boys outside for like 10 minutes and they are happy campers marking outside and then come in and sleep like babies.

We have a laundry tub in our Yorkie room for our Yorkies to get baths in well the girls get to use it all the time and our 2 boys gets their baths in our bathtub as I don't want to get them started wanting our girls lol. It is hard but we do what we have to in order to prevent any accidents.

I hate our boys being in the playpen but it's better safe then sorry. I also let them out to run in the living room, kitchen and hallway everyday (With our bedroom door closed from the hallway, I just don't like to aggravate them or get them started) so that helps them. I hope I've helped you in some way and good luck with your little man Lee
