...and I don't get it. Nero is a 9 1/2yr old Wolf hybrid (Mix of wolf, husky, and chow - he looks like a Husky with an orange coat), and he has been the absolute perfect dog. He listens very well, he is usually in the house (I let him out into the yard in the morning, and walk him at night). Last week he got out of the yard and was gone for a day (I had called all the vets, put up posters, my bf stopped by the pound etc), since he came back, all he wants to do is go, go, go. In the house, he constantly whines and cries (which usually would only occur if he urgently had to go - he never poops in the yard), he is driving me crazy! I understand there are females in heat out there, but this is so weird...I mean he constantly whines, pacing, running to the door, and when we walk, he is just sooo excited, constantly looking around...hard to describe...

LOL. I guess you could say he is in heat too. Hybrids mature allot slower than a dog. He may of gotten some while he was gone and is in love. I am not kidding I and the same problem although mine just jumped through my glass windows. he was 6 when this started happening. Is he fixed? I would suggest only because I had no other choice to put he on some doggy downers called be calm. There are no tranquilizers in these. I took mine to the vet and that is what he wanted me to do HE Did not want me to Neuter him because of his age and the health probles of getting an older dog fixed. It did work. I had gotten $300. in court fines because he kept running he always came home when I called so I know he wasn't far but it was everyday. I also started taking he running allot. I don't know if you can but that seemed to help a little. Good Luck

There is probably a female in heat nearby. Have him neutered or make sure he cannot get out of the yard. Males tend to fight when there is a female in heat, and a wolf hybrid can do alot of damage to another dog. You don't want to be responsible for him maiming or killing somebody else's pet or worst a person.

Oh yhea call of the wild, true love..... . He may have never got the urge before. All of them are different kind of like people.
I have a WolfDog 1 1/2 , he has started acting up just alittle during the last cold weather and even lost allot of weight. It has settled down now and am getting him neutered when he is 2.
Good luck, and I would seriously consider neutering him.

Easy to understand. I have a stud dog that will do that for the entire time my girl is in season. A dog can smell a female in heat for 5 miles. What you are describing is exactly how a male dog acts when there is a female in season around somewhere.

I know you understand about females in heat...but this sounds like it.
Probably a new female in the neighborhood in heat...that really excites him. (dogs like some dogs more than others, just like we like some people more than others).
Try giving him some *rescue remedy*..which you can get at most health food stores.
Also long walks....away from the area..a nearby forest?
Good luck.

Hi, I would say that he found himself a female when he was away, and wants to visit her again! a bath or some lavender oil on his paws may held to get rid of her sent. hope this helps,
