I have two pomeranians (one male, one female) and I am having trouble house training them. The male likes to pee everywhere even after he goes outside. Would getting them fixed/neutered help them stop going to the bathroom inside?? Other than preventing possible pregnancies what is the benefit of those surgeries?
Thanks in advance.

Spaying the female and neutering the male will not only help with the housebreaking but will help with their health. With males it prevents them from marking their territory (peeing randomly all over the house) and with certain cancers like testicular cancer. With females it prevents ovarian cancers and cysts as well as other female diseases. It prevents unwanted pregnancies in the females and prevents males from trying to wander in search of females in heat. It lessens the aggressiveness in males.

Yes this will help a lot. Your dog goes to the toilet outside but when he comes in he will be marking his territory, letting everyone know that this is his place. Its just what male dogs do. If they are still pups then this will be effective almost immediately but in older dogs it can take anywhere between 6 - 12 months and they have a higher risk of something going wrong. Nothing serious of course but things can still go wrong. Also most small dogs are a lot more hyperactive than others and getting this procedure will greatly reduce this. They will be a lot happier dogs in general for you doing this for them. Good Luck and i hope all goes well with your doggies.

Hi. Fixing dogs does help prevent cancerous and benign tumors in the future. If they are pups then they can control their urine one hour for every month of age. I put adult male human urine in the spot of my yard I wanted my dogs to use. The scent of it draws them to that area to eliminate. Female adult human urine doesn't work. Routine feeding time and elimination of water after 7or 8 pm helps a lot. I know this advice is not conventional, but it truly works. Kenneling at night helps. They will cry and complain for about 10 to 14 days, but it will soon be routine and a favorite chew toy in the kennel works wonders. A great dog takes training and repetition. It's like saying hippopotamus a thousand times. Have a great year and know you will succeed. They will adapt well to their human pack and now you are christened the alpha dog.

I work at at animal hospital. Your male is not peeing in the house because he's not house broken. He is unneutered, he is marking his territory. Letting every one know thats his turf. He is also marking to let every one know thats his female. People neuter at 4 month to prevent this from ever starting. If he's alot older, it may be to late. It may alrealdy be a behavior habit. If he's still young he may stop. If hes neutered he won't be humping everything, plus they are less aggresive when they get older if neutered. And alot of male dogs get testical cancer and prostate cancer when they are older and unneutered.

My mother had her dog neutered and it did help with housebreaking.
Quote from first site.
"The neutering leads to reduction in the development of testicular tumors in male dogs.
Dog neutering helps in reducing the prostate problems often seen in aged dogs. Your neutered dogs behaved better than their counterparts since they seldom urinates frequently to mark their territoryand also less aggressive towards other male dogs.
Your dog will be less inclined to roam for extended periods of time. You can notice these benefits of dog neutering only if your dog subjected to neutering between the ages of 9 and 12 months"

Benefits to the health are imense. That alone would for me warrant my dogs to get fixed. It will help the male in housebreaking because he won't want to mark.
PLEASE GET THEM FIXED!

It is always a sign of a responsible dog owner to spay/nueter unless you are a breeder.
I had a dog literally break through my screen door to get at my Lab that was in heat. It was heart breaking.
