Answer

She may be coming into heat since 6 months is the average age for this. However this is not always a sexual behavior in male or female dogs. It is more of a dominance issue. What do you do to ther to tell her something is wrong? Do you pop her rear and tell her no? Whatever you do that works for her then do the same for this issue.
