Mounting

We just got back from a week of vacation with Festus our Welsh Terrier. Abigail our Airedale was left in the kennel so we could relax. Togiether they are still a lot of work. Both dogs have been great, but two is a lot in our little trailer right now. The problem right now is that Festus must have missed Ab because he is trying to mount her all the time. I don't think that he even slept last night in his crate because he was thinking about her. He's an absolute pest now that it is morning. This has gone on now for almost 24 hours. I would think he would get tired soon. This happened a couple of months ago and Festus got over it after about a week. Festus is an intact male, about 10 months old and Ab is 4 years and spayed. I have been keeping them separated or Festus on a leash with me. Trying to make him learn that if he stops he can be with her. It's not working yet. Any ideas on how to make this work? I'm trying to be positive. This makes us think we should get Festus neutered sooner than later.
