We were a little worried about the possibility, but Nikko didn't have any kind of potty training relapse after his neutering. He did get a little extra feisty in the span of 2-8 days after his neuter though, but I'm guessing it's because we were told to attempt to keep him calm (yeah right), so we weren't taking him on his nice long walks during that time. If Nikko doesn't get his 30-45 min walk ever day, he'll get really feisty and bite-y and want to chew on things he shouldn't even if there are good chew toys nearby that he normally enjoys. His humping has diminished after the neuter though, and we're quite happy about that. The vet told us that testosterone takes a couple months or so to leave the system, and they actually can still impregnate girlie dogs for up to 11 days after the neuter!
