Canine lactation is very similar to human lactation in that it is usually brought on by pregnancy and birth, but sometimes it can be a hormonal imbalance. If the dog's puppies are nursing, to stop the female dog from lactating, remove the puppies. However, you need to make sure the puppies will be fed and taken care of properly before removing them, because sometimes only the mother can care for the pups. The lactation should stop with a few days to a few weeks afterward. If the female is still lactating or if you wish her to stop sooner, you may take her to a vet and see if you can get a prescription of hormones for her to counterbalance her natural hormones and make her stop; follow the directions carefully with the hormones. If not administered properly, you can screw up your dog's hormone balance and have negative and even adverse effects.
If the dog is nursing and the puppies are of the correct age, you can wean the puppies and within a week the dog should stop lactating. If the dog is not nursing, you should take her to the vet for an examination.
