Heats, in my experience, are different for each dog. I had a dog that before she was fixed, had heats that lasted 28 days! When our male dog was interested, but we weren't interested in breeding them, the vet suggested that we give him a cold shower to take his mind off of what was happening. It really worked as he was one that would cry, refuse food, refuse to sleep among other things, and it lasted for the majority of 28 days! If he got a cold shower, he was more concerned with being wet than what was going on with her.
