I have seen some dogs where the owners thought that it would go back in on its own and amputation was required.

Try to get the penis to retract by using ointment to lubricate it or try the sugar. But, if it doesn't work, then get them to a vet asap.
Oh, I forgot about that...at the time the Vet said that you can first try putting him in warm water. That sometimes works. If not, take him in for a check immediately.
