I have a 7 month old female and a 6 month old male. They have always had good behavior. I had them spayed and neutered 3 weeks ago. They were good about using the pads but now act like they have never been potty trained and are tearing things up around the house, especially their pee pads. They are outside trained and pad trained. They are confined to the kitchen/sunroom where they have been since they were 13 weeks old. I need advice on what to do? I do not want to crate them. I am trying to retrain them to the pads but it has been hard. Am I expecting to much from them at this age or will they calm down when they get adjusted? The female has also become more aggressive towards the male.
