I think the neutering will probably help, but I also think trying to show them who is in charge in a non aggressive way is a good thing!

I totally agree with you. The holding down is definitely something we do try to do. My boyfriend mainly does it when Geno is being bad whether it is towards my boyfriend or towards me. He squirms for a little but eventually he calms down. The breeder showed us how to hold put him on his back and hold him but he's gotten a little too big to do it so we just hold him tight to our chest so he can listen to our heartbeat.
