Neutering<\/strong> is a topic with many opinions and even more questions. \u201cWhen should I neuter my dog?<\/strong>\u201d, \u201cwill they calm down after neutering?<\/strong>\u201d, \u201cis it different for male and female dogs<\/strong>?\u201d \u2014 the answer isn’t the same for every dog<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Will they calm down after neutering?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Let’s start with the most common myth: no, neutering<\/strong> doesn’t automatically turn a lively dog<\/strong> into a calm dog<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Some behaviours linked to reproductive hormones may decrease after neutering<\/strong>. For example, in male dogs<\/strong>, behaviours such as roaming in search of a female or certain types of marking may decrease. But behaviours that have already become habits won’t necessarily disappear after the procedure.<\/p>\n

If a dog<\/strong> is full of energy<\/strong>, bored, pulls on walks<\/strong> or hasn’t learned how to relax, neutering<\/strong> won’t do all that work on its own.<\/p>\n

That’s where training<\/strong> comes in.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Male dogs and neutering<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n

In male dogs<\/strong>, neutering<\/strong> may reduce certain behaviours influenced by hormones<\/strong>, but it doesn’t mean every male dog<\/strong> will change character.<\/p>\n

A dog<\/strong> who has learned to pull on walks<\/strong>, bark<\/strong>, chase stimuli or not respond when called doesn’t just need a procedure. They need proper training<\/strong> and consistency in everyday life.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Female dogs and spaying<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n

For female dogs<\/strong> too, the decision about spaying<\/strong> needs to be individual. Spaying<\/strong> can offer important health benefits<\/strong>, while the right timing depends on factors such as size, breed, age and individual risk factors.<\/p>\n

So there isn’t one age that’s ideal for every female dog<\/strong> or every male dog<\/strong>. Modern veterinary guidelines put more and more emphasis on making the decision on an individual basis.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Neutering doesn't replace training<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n

If our dog<\/strong> has a behavioural difficulty, we shouldn’t expect neutering<\/strong> to solve it.<\/p>\n

Dog training<\/strong> is what helps us teach a dog<\/strong> how to respond to their environment, how to communicate<\/strong> with us and how to handle different situations.<\/p>\n

The same goes for puppy training<\/strong>. We don’t wait for them to grow up or be neutered<\/strong> before we start teaching them basic skills, boundaries<\/strong>, socialisation and good communication.<\/p>\n

Basic dog training<\/strong> is built through everyday practice \u2014 not through a surgical procedure.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

When should neutering be done?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n

This is something worth discussing with your vet rather than deciding based on one general age that applies to everyone.<\/p>\n

The AAHA guidelines<\/a> vary their recommendations according to the dog’s expected adult size, sex and other health factors. In large-breed dogs<\/strong> especially, the timing may need to be more individualised.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

So what actually changes after neutering?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n

Some behaviours linked to hormones<\/strong> may change. But the dog’s personality<\/strong> doesn’t magically change, and not every behavioural difficulty disappears. Our dog<\/strong> is still the same dog<\/strong> \u2014 with the same character, the same experiences and the same learned behaviours.<\/p>\n

That’s why, if we want a dog<\/strong> who listens to us, can relax, walks calmly on walks<\/strong> and can handle their environment, training<\/strong> remains essential.<\/p>\n

And if we have a puppy<\/strong>, puppy training<\/strong> starts long before any conversation about neutering<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Neutering<\/strong> is an important health decision.
But it isn’t the solution to every behaviour problem \u2014 and it certainly isn’t a substitute for training<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
