...and the bigger the dog, the bigger the messiness.
Will Hera (it is Hera?) allow you to "diaper" her? And not pull the diaper off, I mean. In my mind's eye I'm seeing a "belt" around the barrel, as dogs aren't happy with anything around the flanks, holding one end of a "diaper" in place, a taper to the business end of this thing, which has to secure securely on the upper side of the stern/tail. Some dogs are tolerant of and cooperative with this and some aren't.
Ages ago a former neighbor had sent her pure-blooded, had AKC papers and all the fol-de-rol female Irish Setter sent to the breeder to breed up a championship-calibre litter of puppies. Dog wasn't inclined to wait; that baby-making-mating urge was powerful, so she jumped the fence or dug her way under and got herself satisfied and gratified by a mongrel. So, I can appreciate that you're concerned.
As a side note, I'm betting---I've owned only male canines---there's not a boarding kennel around that wants or will accept a female due to be in heat while she's with said kennel. The whole place would be in an uproar as long as there were male dogs on site.
