I know a vet can do it b/c i keep being told to neuder him but I was just wondering how the vet would do that if he is aggressive.

Vets and their staff have alot of experience in handling aggressive dogs and your dog will be fine--PLEASE do take him in and have him neutered ITS best for him

First of all the vet techs do a lot of the taking out and putting the dog back into a cage. Often if the dog is very aggressive or nervous, just like with people they can give a pre-anesthesia type medication, like Valium. Then the dog is easier to handle. Once the dog is under that the put an I.V. line in, Little more med. and then the general anesthesia. Most dogs are great and have no problems. It may help your guy be a little less aggressive, too. Good Luck

The dog would probably be given a sedative by needle while muzzled then once sedated the vet would administer anesthesia. After the dog is neutered it takes a period of time before the hormones settle and the dog loses some of its aggressiveness. However, just because a dog is neutered does not mean it will lose all of it's aggressiveness you should consider a good Obedience Class as well. Here the dog will learn socialization as well as basic training.

Depending on how aggressive the dog, if it gets nervous and bites or just plain bites you'll have to muzzle it, then the vet will give a general anesthesia and perform the surgery. The dog will wake up not knowing what happened while it was sleeping, but will probably figure it out later and look at you as if it has a grudge, but it will most likely be okay with you after a while.

the dog would have to be muzzled prior to surgery so the vet can put the dog under safely. most vets muzzle all dogs that they perform surgery on. it's a strange place and strange ppl and strange noises...dogs get nervous, even the sweetest dog can snip at someone if scared *fight or flight instinct* vets understand this...so working w/ an aggressive dog is par for the course w/ a vet.
of course the OWNER would probably need to muzzle the dog since they would be in the best position to get the muzzle on the dog w/out biting.
once the teeth factor is under control, it's just a shot away from getting fixed.

Well, with my dog, they gave me some pills the day before to crush up and mix in his food. The pills made him drowsy and less aggressive, making it easier for the vets to put him under anesthesia. You should go in before you schedule the date to neuder him. The vets will give you more advice or other alternatives, as they did with me.

First they would have you muzzle him, then he will be sedated followed by anestisia. Certain body parts are then surgically removed. After he wakes up, they'll have you go into the hospital and take him from the cage yourself (or something close to that). Don't expect that to make him less aggressive, though. It often works but not always. Be sure to obedience train him afterwards - it won't cure aggression but it helps you control him.

a vet tech or kennel asst. would help restrain the animal, and then probably either give it a sedative in the form of a pill or injection. After that he would be prep.'d and moved into surgery.
But Neutering will not solve the majority of his aggression problems... it will be done through consistent and firm training.

if the dog is aggressive then he would be muzzled until a general anesethia is given, he will be really drowzy and will eventually be out like a light, it is usually given in a shot. After he is out the neutering only takes about 5 mins or so and it is done. (they don't actually take off the testicles they just take out the sac of semen)

The term is NEUTER. And yes, get your dog neutered, and go to dog school with him.
The dog is awash in male hormones - and those hormones contribute to aggressivness.
Neutering and good TRAINING with a dog trainer will do both you and your dog a world of good.
A "Canine Bootcamp" at a local boarding and training kennel will also help your dog learn manners and be a good citizen. The bootcamp trainers also work with the owners as well.
