I have a working GSD bitch ,my first i have only ever had males before .Does anyone else notice a differance in their bitches work ie. tracking when coming into season?
I try to pick my battles when she is in heat, but I don't just give her a free pass and encourage her to be weird.
I realize that sometimes her focus isn't as good as usual, and try to keep that in the back of my mind during training.
Joint laxity is affected by hormones too, so I try not to do any serious jumping or climbing with her during heat, either. With an older dog, I wouldn't stress as much, but mine is still young (1 year).

To be honest, I don't notice any change in my bitch when she is coming into heat (or in heat) when it comes to her "working". In fact, I'd say her nose is deeper in tracking right before her season.
