Neutering My Dog - Personal experience please.?

Question

I would like to know your story regarding neutering a dog, because I want to know the difference between the aggression level of a dog before and after he gets neutered.

My dog is about 7 months old now and I have noticed his aggression level has been really increasing lately... Is it due to his man hood to seek mates? Thanks

Answer 1

You really need to have him neutered!!! He will calm down, stay at home because he won't be hunting for females in heat, there is less of chance of testicular cancer. It will make things ALOT EASIER ON YOU AND HIM IN THE LONG RUN.
My male German Shepherd was neutered when he was about the same age. While he had not really shown any indication of aggression, I personally felt it was the best thing to do. He is a 91 pound love bug who just wants to be loved on.
I had an uneutered German Shepherd and it DROVE ME UP THE WALL!! HE BROKE THE CHAINS HE WAS ON, JUMPED FENCES, OPENED GATES AND GENERALLY DROVE ME NUTS!!!!!! ANY FEMALE THAT WAS IN HEAT WAS FAIR GAME!!!
You will not regret the decision!!!!

At seven months, I doubt it. What I have noticed with my dogs is that from about 8-18 months, they suddenly realize that they are not puppies anymore and that there is a great big wide world out there with all kinds of scarey things in it but they don't know yet which things they should be afraid of and which things they shouldn't. So, they act real fierce and put on a show of aggression at everything at first until they figure out what is safe and what isn't. I've had dogs neutered in the past, and honestly can't see a lot of difference in temperment before and after. You definitely need to do some serious controlled training with you dog so that he learn to watch you for a clue as to whether something is safe or not.

Answer 3

I don't think that neutering really changes the "aggression" level. Dogs who are active, and have what is called "drive" will always have drive. Dogs who are not active and are not high drive will never be that way.

Neutering a dog does not do that much to change their temperment in my experience. Over the years, my ideas about neutering have changed. If you can watch your dog carefully, and he will be inside with you (not outside where he can get at other dogs) then don't neuter until he is at least 1- 1 1/2 yrs. This will allow his growth plates to completely close with the correct hormone balance... Spaying/Neutering too soon can cause growth issues, since the hormones get thrown out of whack.

Guess it depends on what you want your dog for, where you are going to have your dog live (inside or out), and why you think your dog is "aggressive".

Personally, I've noticed diet has more to do with "aggression" than their private parts.

We have a pug we had neutered when he was about a year or so old and it has been the best decision we have made concerning the dogs well being. Before the neutering he was very hyper and had a hard time controlling his bladder. After the neutering, he has relaxed a lot more! He still has his hyper moments, but they are not out of control. And he is no longer going to the bathroom in the house! Which is huge!! I would suggest doing it!

appears like between the justifications I have been given a canines! So, i will sense a splash safer whilst my husband is oversea's and such:) I appeared up myths and information on neutering....that isnt a real assertion. A canines who's an element of the kinfolk and enjoyed by employing his proprietor(s), will look after his kinfolk (%.) at any costs. canines only have that animal intuition, and nuetering wont take it away:) i desire that makes you sense extra powerful approximately neutering him. this is average extra powerful for his well being, and he would be extra concentrated on you as his coach (no hormones, sexual dispositions there anymore). solid success:) i could choose for to characteristic, it may nevertheless be ultimate for well being to get him fixed. yet, I even have additionally study that neutering at a later age doesnt help too lots for practise him to any extent further powerful. each and every so often even spaying a woman canines later in existence (after a million yrs.previous), it always makes them worse (habit smart). Ask your vet how real this information is that I even have study....yet that's what some practise web content reported. I dont have a hyperlink to this information I study, yet Im specific this is straightforward to locate.

Answer 6

Neutering helps, my austraillian shepard is 3 and a playful dog. He jumped from my truck because a dog was in heat stayed gone for 3 days and come in almost dead. when 1 dog jumps on another they all jump on him and thats what happened to him.He's at the vet now and has been for 4 days. He's gonna make it now but he almost died so he said neuter him to stop him from chasing other female dogs. So if i had already did that i would be about 2,000 dollars richer and have a healthier dog...joncy

Answer 7

Through personal experience, no. desexing my dogs did not change their behaviour in any way. This question is a hard one because it does effect personalities in some animals but not in all. Maybe some obedience training may help in his aggression. Dogs are pack animals and trive for a leader. If you do not lead then they will. Desexing is a good thing and I recomend it. It reduced that chances of prostate cancer in dogs. It also helps (just a little) with teritory marking. There are also to may unwanted dogs in the world and desexing will ensure that u don't ad to that problem.

Answer 8

partly , he is also coming into his adulthood when his masculinity is getting to peak

my great dane calmed down by more then half just from neuturing , also plenty of good consistent training and he' s a great dog and didnt lose any of his personality ,
i waited till he was 6 months just to make sure he would have all his "manly" shape around the head and such

if you neuter before 6 months the dog could not develop his full adult male looks

so you should be good now

Your dog will definitely become more docile after being nuetered. However, you must also remember that your dog is still a puppy. Just like a 2-4 year old humans are always into stuff, so will your puppy. You should neuter your dog so that it doesn't make more babies, as well as making him more docile.

Answer 10

I second what Jocelyn says. Removing the balls from a dog is not always a solution as so many people think it is. Training is your best bet. He is young and testing the water to see if he can be the boss. Get him into some classes and socialization. Also remember that temperaments can be inherited so it might just be the kind of dog he is. Best to curb it anyway you can now. Nueter him as planned but don't expect that to be the end of all behavior issues.
