| For those who waited awhile to get neutered, ? for you Bobby is 14 months. It seems that his behavior around other doggies lately has changed. It doesnt matter if they are girls or boys, he tries to mount them. And he wont stop. Since we waited so long to get neutered I am wondering if this will stop after his surgery on the 5th? Last night we brought him to meet a new little boy puppy. I was hoping this could be his little brother. But all he did was try to mount him and scared the puppy. The little guy did stick up for himself, but I wouldnt feel comfortable bringing him home if this is how Bobby is acting. Its to the point now, that I am worried to bring him around other doggies because of this behavior. He is fine at home, doesn't show any aggression or humping behavior. (it's just me and my husband) Just around other dogs. Have any of you gone through this with your little boys? |

| the mounting is a dominance thing. it probably won't stop once the behavior is started.

| really? I didn't know it was about dominence, I figured it was because he was becoming a young dogman. Well I hope it changes some. He loves other animals and it would be really sad if he couldnt be around them anymore. he isn't trying to hurt them and he isn't mean about it, he just annoys the other dogs and I would be afraid of someone getting hurt. |

| Whenever I bought home a new pup....my oldest Beau would be pretty aggressive...but I would give the new pup a bath and Beau would act as if the pup had always lived here. |

| It might not stop all of the dominance but it will drop his testosterone level quite a bit and might make him less macho!! I have a boy chihuahua that was neutered when he was like 16 mos. old and he is more tolerant of other male dogs now. He is still not a push over but he doesn't start fights or look for trouble anymore!! Good Luck!!
