Benefits of neutering dogs?

[punkgirlyuk]

Hi, i was just wondering wether i should neuter my 7 month old rottweiler pup? He is starting to run off after other dogs and has gotten well acquainted with one of my cushions!! Would castration help with this?

We had Shane neutered at eighteen months old.Before that he was a complete nightmare..howling at the moon,wouldn't eat ,trying to escape ,off afte rthe scent of a female at the drop of a hat and other unmentionable naughty behaviour !
If you are not going to breed from him then it is worth considering.Have a chat with your vet ..they are the best people to advise you.Also neutering can prevent testicular cancer in dogs .

castration would help, he's a raging hormane teenager at the moment lol, it is also much better health wise for them if you never intend to breed them. stops cancer etc from those bits, the effect is not immeadiate, but you will notice a differance very soon.

we saw a totoally different dog after benji got done, he no longer wanted to go out late at night, more lovable too

Whilst castration MAY help a dog with raging hormones to calm down, do not expect it to be the answer to every problem. Training and exercise are the keys to getting the type of behaviour you would want from your dog. Seven months is very young for him to be bothered by hormones, he is still a baby and a lot of his behaviour is just that - baby puppy habits.

Get him to training classes and learn how to teach him to be what you want.

hey yes nuetering your dog will alter these bad behaviors a lot it is important to get him nuetered cuase his "urges" may cause him to run away. and there also may be lawsuits against youbecause of the surgery of neutering is easier than spaying. not only that but it will also stunt his aggressiveness and make more trainable.
