right...im having my dog neutered on thursday cause 1 he needs it done anyway and 2 hes only got 1 testical...the other 1 is there its just not where its supposed to be...anyway i was wondering when he is neutered will he still try and mate with other dogs ?some people keep saying to me oh hes just telling him hes bigger and all that ! but it really annoys me coz i know when hes dominating and when hes trying to mate! ive had him since he was 8weeks. there was a lab in the park today and my dog would not leave it alone...so i said to the owner has your dog been neutered and he said yeah...then i new that my dog couldnt tell the differance between it being a male and a *****...apparently when a dogs been neutered they give more scent off then a ***** ?! is this true ?? hes 1years old by the way...i know ive left it to late to get him done...but i wasnt going to...but now its to dangerous cause of the other testical...so when hes been nuetered will he still have that feeling in him ?

to nedra E...im sorry but hes not dominating the other dogs...he wants to mate ! when he sees a dog he will sniff,if the dogs in season he will jump on her and get his penis out ! so dont tell me thats dominating !! and its the same as the male neutered dog...he will sniff jump up get his penis out and try and hump...its only coz the male dog is to big for him to reach ! otherwise he would ! like i said i know my dog...and i know the differance between dominating and mateing !for instance today at the park he will attack to dominate....he will wait till they submiss and then put his whole body over them ! not jump up and get his penis out ! there is a big differance between the 2...and if you can tell the differance between dominating and mateing then i guess you dont no what you are talking about !

Having him neutered should greatly reduce the level of testorone he has, which would be the main reason why he would want to mate. That doesnt mean he cant still get excited though, from smells and such, and still try.

Some neutered males do give off different signals which confuse other males as they do not know exactly what the neutered dog is. This is why some neutered dogs seem to be attacked more frequently - or are the centre of unwanted attention from other males! You'll probably find your dog is not as bothered about mounting other dogs, but he will still be able to mate & even tie with a b1tch if the fancy takes him - only difference is there won't be any puppies!

Neutering doesn't necessarily take the urge to mate away, some dogs become much calmer and less interested in mating but some still have a go. Mine had a deep and meaningful relationship with his favourite pillow for years after he was done. Don't get annoyed it's natural for them, it's only our prudish feelings that make it more than it is. Just give him plenty of love and hugs when he comes back from the vets!

I had my springer neutered last month, he's 14 months. He's still a nutter and does still attempt to hump cushions and my arm!
Thankfully he doesn't go sniffing around my ***** or others anymore and my ***** has also started to leave his bits alone which she had great interest in before he was done - she's been done for over a year, so I don't know what the fascination was!

Congratulations on taking good care of your dog.
NOW ... you just have to overcome a common misconception. He is NOT trying to mate... It's a dominance game dogs play to prove who's the alpha dog. If he's not attempting to penetrate then he's NOT trying to mate! If it's not a female in heat, he's NOT trying to mate.
It takes a couple weeks for the hormone levels to drop after the surgery, so the changes are not immediate.
Your description of the person who's dog HAD been neutered, and your response that you knew your dog couldn't tell the difference between a male and a b**** tells me you do NOT KNOW as well as you think you do the difference between mounting to knock another dog down in play to prove who's alpha, and a dog mounting a female in heat. My female mounts my male probably more often than he mounts her. It's "King of the Hill" and "If I can knock you down, I'm alpha!"
Contrary to comments from other responders, dogs do NOT have sex for fun. Neutered dogs mounting is ONLY DOMINANCE and NEVER an indication of any kind of sexual urge.
Listen... it's great that you're getting him neutered... better late than never...

Possibly, but I had a lab neutered at three years old and prior to getting him fixed, he could not be housebroke, did not listen, and was very poor mannered. After having him fixed (even at three years old), he listened better, I housebroke him, and he quit trying to run away all the time. He became friendly and ended up being one of the best dogs I ever had. He just died a few years ago and was 21 years old when he died! He was an great dog!
Good luck, I hope it all works out.

With our male, it slowed him down...but he still does it almost daily. They have natural urges just like humans.
And dogs can tell the difference between male and female whether they've been spayed or neutered. I don't know if the the scent they give off is any different in content or strength after being altered. What happened in the park was probably an act of dominance.

My dog has been neutered and he always mounts other dogs when he sees them and me too when i sit on the floor. I agree it is very embarrasing when you are out. Hopefully yours will be different but having him done has not changed mine in anyway apart from his pink thing doesn't come out as often. I don't think there is anything you can do about it.

Humping is also a form of dominance in dogs. So your dog may still hump things, people and other dogs, but it doesn't necessarily mean he's trying to mate. It just means he's trying to be alpha dog. It's sort of doggie code for being top dog.
