I totally agree. Leave the males well alone, (unless there is a medical reason for castration), and neuter the females as soon as it is safe to do so

Most ridiculous post I've read in a long time. I can assure you it is recommended to neuter all dogs once they reach 6 months of age (and everything has dropped), for numerous reasons. I agree with mollie that if a dog has fear aggression the hormone surge can cause more problems, but in all honesty if the dog had been properly socialised and then neutered at 6 months it wouldn't be fear aggressive in the first place (I'm not critiquing the op or mollie as they may not of had the pup from day 1).
Neutering is an option but not a magic remedy. I've seen a number of neutered dogs which has had absolutely no affect on their aggression at all! The moral debate on neutering is not something I have experience in discussing! This may have already been mentioned (I have no doubt its somewhere in the thread) but my primary advice would be to get the dog into a controlled environment with other dogs, an outside obedience class is ideal but don't just turn up, the instructor will need to be completely aware of the situation. I apologise profusely if I am teaching granny to suck eggs or if I am repeating something already advised. |

And you have what veterinary/medical training and experience exactly? To back up your " theories"?
The American Veterinary Medical Association is actually against the mandatory spaying and neutering of dogs. However, they do advocate a case by case policy, whereby if there are no good reasons to spay/neuter a dog then it should not be done. They are not against it completely. |

The poster seems to think that he/she knows everything since they did a course or two in animal management.

Well I think bazaar knows a lot more than some people in this and other threads.
I feel you are trying to be snarky and snippy with me because you don't like being pulled up when you are wrong, so pleas feel free to add me to your ignore list, then me and my 'few courses in animal management' (It was behaviour btw ) won't offend you any more.

Thank you mollie. Gibson girl. I most certainly do not know everything, but I do know a damn site more than you, and I'm improving my knowledge by continuing to study and keeping up with the latest developments, not just googling a tv star. Providing me with an American recommendation is ridiculous, they also pay in shelters at a really young age. In the uk, it is recommended to neuter/spay at around 6 months (as long as things ave dropped, and as another poster said some breeds a bit later) unless there are behavioural reasons not to.
I feel you are trying to be snarky and snippy with me because you don't like being pulled up when you are wrong, so pleas feel free to add me to your ignore list, then me and my 'few courses in animal management' (It was behaviour btw ) won't offend you any more.I have issues with you because you are a pompous little know it all! I also notice you never bothered to reply to that poster who asked what medical/veterinary experience you have. |

You know you are not the only one not to have been to university, but oddly still the only one with a problem with people who have been and still the only one disagreeing with what the person who has been to university is saying. Seems a common theme here. You may just be wrong.

Tbh mollie, I don't think I have ever seen such a chip on a shoulder as the one I am witnessing here!
Gg- I didn't ignore the previous poster, I didn't see it. Would you like me to list my qualifications, grades and accreditations for you? How about my daily toiletting routine? I some how presume you'll dispute them too. |

I posted about danny about a year ago because we were looking after him while our friend was away and wanted some advice can't actually remember why I posted now lol. Anyway it seems it is just males he is hostile to. The other day we were at the river and he ran off to frolic with a beautiful labrador.
It scares me he will get in a fight and get hurt or hurt another dog. I've settled for a muzzle so I hope I don't incur more wrath but at least this way he won't hurt another dog. |

Out of interest is he hostile on and off lead? It maybe worth getting a yellow ribbon for the lead, the project is growing more popular, it tells others with dogs to stay away, |

So really you need to try one to see if it works on your own dog. What size do you need ? |
