Question about neutered dog?

Question

Hi, my dog was neutered two weeks ago. Since then he has been even worse behaved (jumping and biting-wise) and, for lack of a better description, his penis keeps coming out. I thought the neutering was supossed to make this better? Why hasn't it?

Answer 1

The surgery can not fix a behavior problem. Surgury can aid in correcting the probem, but its only a fraction of the equation.

Obiedience training (maybe a firm refresser if your pups already been) and plenty of exercise will help your dog with these problems. Bitting and Jumping sounds like your pup need to be reminded who the boss is, and you can do that by enforcing simple obience commands, then take your dog for a long walk (making sure he's walking beside you and not dragging you behind him as he leads the way), when you get home or to a dog safe area, throw a stick or ball and play. This is healthy and mind stimulating exercise for you dog and will really help balance him emotionally and physically.

Now about your dogs private peeking out, thats how god made them, any kind of excitement ( aggression, happiness etc) will send a rush of blood all over his body, and it will pool at his private forcing the red rocket out for some air..... neutured or not, this will always happen in a male dog. He can't help it that is just the way he's been designed by nature. Once they calm back down, the privates take cover again.

Seriously, exercise is a great way to get all that energy out.

A TIRED DOG DOESN'T FIND TROUBLE.....

Answer 2

how old is your dog? oftentimes people will wait to neuter a dog until after behaviors (such as humping) have already started...if you wait this long, then the dog has already learned this behavior, and the behavior will continue until the dog is trained not to do it anymore. (did/does your dog hump? if so, he will not usually stop on his own, you will have to train him not to)
also, jumping and biting are not behaviors caused by hormones, they are behaviors caused by poor training, neutering a dog will not stop it from jumping and biting (although it may make training him not to jump and bite a little easier because he won't have the distraction of the hormone)...since you say the behaviors are worse, I'd have to ask, do you think something traumatic happened while your dog was at the vets? if your dog was scared or bothered by the operation or by the visit to the vet, then it may take a while for you to get him back to normal. Many pets become traumatized when they are altered because not all vets are sensitive to the pets after the procedure is over, (locking them in a strange cage all alone with no toys; weird, scary sounds and smells; their bodies hurting so bad; and they need to be force fed medications-it would scare you too!)
As far as his penis coming out, it does take some time for the hormone to leave the system; eventually his penis will shrink and you will no longer have it hanging out however, depending on his age, the time it takes for the hormone to leave the system and for the penis to shrink could be a couple months or a year.

I urge you to enroll your dog in a training class (petsmart and petco offer training, or call your vet for a recommendation in your area)-this will help with the jumping and the biting and any other un-wanted behaviors...as for the penis hanging out, only time will help with that

my cat had alot of similar problems after being neutered at six months old...he was leash-trained before the operation and afterwards I had to retrain him! I talked to my vet, my trainer, and read a lot of articles online and this is what I found
good luck!

Answer 3

It takes time for the hormone levels to go to a normal state especially if the dog is a year old or older..also the behaviors you are describing have absolutely nothing to do with neutering..neutering will NOT fix bad behaviors due to lack of proper training.

The penis still will come out even on neutered dogs..neutering has nothing to do with this natural state occuring.




******ddrLemon you have absolutely NO clue what you are talking about...neutering does nOT make behaviors worse, it may not correct all issues but it won't make them worse...and for information vets would make a whole lot more money by NOT spay/neutering then they do by doing the surgery..there would be a lot more dogs with far more expensive problems out there..mammary cancer, pyometria, prostrate issues, anal fistuals/tumors, etc******

Answer 4

Neutering a dog lowers their hormone levels give him some time for his hormones to go down usually getting a dog fixed sometimes stops behavior problems but not always

Answer 5

It could take as much as 6 months for your dogs harmones to completely level out even though some people experience immediate changes in their pet. But the behavior your describng just sounds like bad habits mostly. Jumping on you is not going to stop unless you teach him it is unwanted. Work with your pet on basic commands and obediance, take him for walks and socialize him and you will have a well balanced/behaved pet.

Answer 6

people stop drugging your dogs; everything is a quick fix; neutering doesn't change behavior ; instinct is instinct ; thank God that they haven't fooled around with trying to cut that out; a dog still can pick up that a female dog is in heat and still will try to mate; if everyone kept an eye on their pet, there would be less cutting up on the pretense of calming an animal; exercise and train an animal ; animals are not stupid ; after watching them from puppies, 2 litters that we raised ; we know more than ever; Mom would pick up the puppies in forearm and play with them up in the air and then over her ; over and over with each pup who waited their turn; so many more things that I doubt even a vet knows or cares to know b/c you don't watch them 24 x 7 to really learn that they have more of a clue than we ever will know b/c we don't know everything about animal species nor humans.

Answer 7

It may take up to 3 months for him to calm down.The other part of the question yes that can still show even if neutered.

Answer 8

Neutering doesn't stop his penis from working.. It'll still come out.. That's what Penis' do !

Answer 9

Actually sometimes nuetering your dog does make these behaviors alot worse, however, the vet rarely tells anyone this because they want you to have the pet neutered. (it gives them more money and makes it so there are less unwanted puppies in the world.)

Answer 10

give it time for the hormones to get out of his system
