My female poodle won't mate in heat. Are there hormones to help?

Question

Is there hormone pills or med available for standard poodles, for the female to help when they are in heat, so they want the male more? My female poodles keeps rejecting the male even though he is dominant.

I'm afraid there aren't really any medications available for this purpose. Normally, the female will stand willingly for the male when she is at the right point in her heat cycle - if she won't let him mate, it's likely that it simply isn't the right time yet. If she truly won't allow him to mount her at any point during her cycle, this would be very unusual - but in that case you may need to do AI (artificial insemination) instead.
