Neutering doesn't change patterns of behaviour - it just removes the ability to breed. Thats why he still bonks the duck.

Bonking is not always a sexual behaviour. It can be a sign of over-excitement or boredom or occasionally of a dog that is trying to control someone or something. Often we reward dogs for bonking things by laughing at them or shouting at them or giving them attention in some other way. Try ignoring your dog and leaving the room when he starts bonking. This will sometimes be enough to stop the behaviour as he is no longer rewarded for it.
If the bonking is a serious problem then I suggest you see get a dog behaviourist to help you out.

Neutering doesn't nessacarily stop sexual behaviours like mounting people etc,if he was already doing this prior to beeing neutered then it's a learned behaviour.Training when young can help prevent this.Every time he does mount toys,people etc grab him by the collar and say no loudly and firmly and put him in a seperate room for 5-10mins.He's obviously been doing this for a while so it may take longer to break the habit but with consistency it can be done.Good luck.

The effects of neutering do not fully become apparent until about 6 months post-op-it takes that time for the hormones to decrease in his system.I'm surprised he is still acting the same but suggest you give it a few more weeks and you may see a decrease in his behavior.If not speak to your vet

my dogs still do it to each other all neutered males, 2 of them are 4 years old and the youngest is 1 year old, i think its may be just a dominance thing

Bonking by puppies is not sexual behaviour. If he's been castrated he will never reach sexual maturity!

"Bonking" may be considered sexual, but in some cases, it has nothing to do with that. Many dogs (even females) do this to show dominancy.

I think you must have neutered him too early. Dogs do have crazy minds! lmao
