Sometimes it takes a couple months. The hormones have to work out of his system. Sounds like he's an active boy anyway though. Stopping Humping and running are a good start though.

I really don't think there is any question that early spay/neuter can cause some issues down the line. However, you are missing the big picture. The early mandatory spay/neuter of shelter dogs is to protect them from being bred, causing more shelter dogs who need to be spayed/neutered, or euthanized, if there is no room for them. While you can make an intelligent decision about your own animals, like your avatar says, there are other things to consider here. I would much rather have an early spayed/neutered shelter dog than watch someone get a dog from the local pound and promptly start breeding. All of my dogs are spayed and neutered, and only one was done after 6 months, because of an immune issue. The oldest two are now 12 and have never had a problem. At least they were never forced to breed by some stupid person.

If he's a boy he's been castrated not spayed :-) Spaying is for girl dogs!
Neutering corrects aggression and hyperactivity associated with sex hormones. It doesn't calm dogs down generally - if your dog's hyper he's hyper, and only age will put a stop to this!
He's stopped humping everything so I think you may have seen all the change you're going to get. I know many dogs who are as insane at a few years old as they were pre-castration I'm afraid!
It seems the sole reason people neuter is to change behaviour. The real reasons to neuter are for the health of the pet - many people end up disappointed.

calm down how exactly? He's stopped humping and running off looking for a girl dog, so I'd say he's calmed down a lot. That's what neutering does. (Spaying is for a female dog,not a male).
If his personality is that he's a hyper little bugger, he'll probably stay that way. It doesn't change personalities, only the outlook from behind, lol.

I'd say he's as calm as he's going to get. Don't worry everyone makes mistakes when they say things sometimes, you knew what you wanted to say it just didn't' come out right. I do that alot sometimes. He stopped humping things and going out to look for a mate so that's a very good start. He might just be a type of dog that's going to be full of energy like that. Might not slow down till he's way older.

A lot of his behavior may be learned by now. Give him plenty of time for the testosterone to get out of his system. My neutered guys still hump my female when she comes into heat, but at least they can't get her pregnant any more.

My old country vet told me when you neuter an adult dog, it'll calm him some, but it's not brain surgery. But truthfully, testosterone is a fat soluble hormone and it takes quite a while to leach out of his system. His personality won't change but he may get a bit calmer yet.

If he's stopped humping, marking and running off to look for a mate, then he HAS calmed down!

A dog calming down after being fixed is a myth! I have a yellow lab that was fixed 2 years ago and he's still really active. (Not that that's a bad thing on my part, but I just don't think a active hyper dog is bad.) :o)

If he's 3 and has been neutered for 6 weeks, he's as calm as he's going to get!
Just be glad he's stopped humping and marking his territory!
