Dog is fixated as if there’s a female dog in heat, even though all the females are fixed. Any advice?

Hi, this is my first post to this sub and I end some advice. This may be a long question, haha.

My 14 month old Sammy is behaving as if there’s a female dog in heat nearby. He keeps whining, randomly barking, panting heavily, and keeps looking into our back yard. He wont respond to his name or commands like “leave it” or “stop.” He can’t seem to relax and is pacing around my room as I write this. I’ve closed the door so that he cannot see the outside, or smell whatever potential hormones are in the air. He’s also taken to humping our gardener, who takes care of the dogs that reside in our back yard.

A bit of background:

We live with a lot of dogs at home, some of which only live in our yard and some of which only go outside when they need to potty. The “outside dogs” are three Aspins (Philippine name for street dogs). The “inside dogs” consist of two Yorkies, 2 Samoyeds, and 1 Aspin. Only the Yorkies and Samoyeds are intact.

The female Yorkie’s last heat was a little over a month ago.

The “outside dogs” were only fixed as recently as a month and a half ago, and two fo them are female (both of which are 2 years plus in age).

What could be the reason behind this, if most of the dogs are fixed? Is there a way I can get him to calm down, or stop this behavior all together?
