@@magouliana32 I waited a year to neuter him. But yes. After being neutered he stopped trying to mark things in the house. The drive to do it, quite literally, disappeared.
I guess it makes sense coz marking means he is being territorial right? Those hormones cause him to be territorial thats why dogs keep on marking to show his dominant behavior. Without those balls, no hormones will be produced.
This is STILL such a controversial subject. Pet owners really need to do their research on spaying and neutering. Male and female need those hormones. There are so many health benefits when dogs are left intact. European countries do not spay or neuter. People have to educate themselves on this. Not all veterinarians are on the same page when it comes to spaying/neutering. Dr. Karen Becker has some great information on RUclips regarding this topic. Thanks for commenting on this important decision to make that can influence our pets health and well being.
It is definitely a topic that has no specific right or wrong answer, this is just our opinion on the topic based on experience and studying the work of other dog behaviorist and dog psychologists. It will always be a heavily opinionated topic for sure. Thank you for watching and offering your perspective!
@@CanineRevolutionthere’s benefits and cons to both sides. Both castrating or not castrating will allow a higher chance for different diseases. The best is average owners can do is mirror what people who love their dogs and do what’s best for them do, the people who compete with their dogs, ask them what they do for that breed
Yeah it's EASY to keep them apart, but seeing my intact male SHAKE and become so anxious because he wants to mate with my intact female is awful. He's not the dominant type so he doesn't act out, but it's still heartbreaking seeing him resist the urge to mate.
Animals rights to bodily autonomy need to be acknowledged and protected. At worse, getting them a vasectomy is negotiable. Chopping off their testicles is insane and unacceptable. Point blank period. Imagine being the dog, how would you feel?
I never really see this opinion so it’s nice to see a variety. I often don’t consider the many sides and perspectives so it’s nice to consider views that are less prevalent in the wider conversation as people say if you don’t it’s abusive and irresponsible or claiming someone is misinformed instead of listening
@@xEPICxNESS I didn’t even mention the negative hormonal effects. Do that research, you’ll be convinced it’s absolutely abhorrent to deprive testosterone hormones to a male via severing the testicles from the body. In order for males to be happy we require testosterone to function as males.
I agree. Male dog''s identity is interwined with their "malehood". I find some neutered dogs or recently neutered dogs to be hostile towards intact ones. I think on some level they know, They may not undertand the mechanics of it. but they are aware that this dog has more manhood then me... Both of my dogs are intact, one is twenty years old. I think we need to respect animals for what they are and not just treat them like "pets".
@@no-zy7bv dogs definitely know a female and a male. Some also recognize intact vs. Neutered dog .. that goes for both female and male. I have been working with dogs for over a decade... Anyone who's been half paying attention all that time would have noticed
I am completely against it. It ruined my relationship with my dogs. They hid in their house more often, they weren't excited to go out for walks, they ate less, and got very bloated. They slept more and died earlier at around 8 and 10. They also get severely depressed. The longest living dog without being castrated I've had, died at around 18 years old. I think behavioral habits should be addressed by learning to choose a dog based on breed, or temperament, and general physical activity that appeals to both dog and owner. It is not the dog's fault that the owner cannot care for them nor nurture their needs properly. They are not toys. They are living beings that feel and understand that things in their reproductive system are not functioning normally.
I disagree. I reacued an english bulldog abd he would hump me all day and night. He only had one testicle and had to neuter him because it could eventually cause camcer. As soon as he was neutered he hasnt humped me since. I though he would still be trying because hes been doing it so long.
It does prevent cancer, but does not calm them down and can actually increase health issues (mostly joint issues and development issues) if you do it too early.
Must have not had a stubborn dog. Mine has been humping my 6yr old daughter anytime she tries to get up and walk around. We are CONSTANTLY stopping him, telling him "leave it", but when he gets into that humping mode, he won't let up no matter how many times we correct him. We got him fixed anyway as it's the responsible thing to do, and I hope it does help lessen this humping crap.
@elmeromero7851 so far, no cons. It'll be 2 weeks since neuter on Thursday July 4th, and he has not humped at all since before the procedure. Still energetic and gets the zoomies, but he seems a bit more chill so far. Still too early to tell if it's a set change.
How is your dog now?? I’m contemplating my 22month old but would rather leave him as is since he doesn’t have any behavioral issues and accepts corrections
Bro. I swear to god. My collie had such an insane drive to mark everything! Once neutered; gone. Gone!
So was it worth it is it easier for you I’d he a good dog ?

Terrible owner lol...just train it properly jesus
It’s never stopped mine from marking territory, and I’m talking many dogs for many years.

yeah and its not hard to keep them from making babies anyways

Important to note that the age for growth plates depends on the size of the dog; a yorkie will be full grown at very young age compared to a Labrador.

That's because their hormones were out of balance after they were fixed.
Neutering is the worst thing you can do to a dog...people are so idiotic.
It absolutely does and in females they seem to always get fat once spayed.
So that would explain why my female blue healer got so chunky
How did castration and hysterectomies become the fix for poor/lazy dog ownership
Exactly, though many vets encourage it at 6 months of age and that isn’t good for development especially on larger boned breeds.

It prevents cancer.. and calms them down..
@Nemesistyxyou are absolutely right. European countries DO NOT spay or neuter. Dogs need the hormones.
if you take out a kidney you also have 50% less probability of getting kidney cancer...
It prevents only 1 type of cancer… and increases anxiety..
It does prevent cancer, but does not calm them down and can actually increase health issues (mostly joint issues and development issues) if you do it too early.
@@no-zy7bvonly teste cancer. Studies show all other forms of cancer are lowered in intact males.
I am with that
Let them grow then snip snip

3 years?? 😂 you trippin crodie
It's 3 years old for all dogs ? I believe it's different for small dogs.
Duh… nevertheless there is a difference in the probability that a castrated vs non castrated male will transgress set rules due to impulse or not
our poor xl bully's under 3.
Its not it’s. Its is already possessive. Or better yet, his*.
False I know for a fact my dog marks and dogs who are broken (not fixed) don't mark
