Karla Armendariz Webboard User Reg: 03-06-2008 Posts: 142 Loc: California Offline	Quote: Mike J Schoonbrood Neutering, to me, is a medical thing, and therefore should only be done for medical reasons. Behavioral issues should never be addressed with surgery, and if the behavior is already there it won't just disappear when the nuts are plucked from the tree. If you have to train the dog anyway after neutering, then what is the point of the neutering!? But, could neutering stop it from becoming worse or something else negative developing? Karla

Karla Armendariz Webboard User Reg: 03-06-2008 Posts: 142 Loc: California Offline	Thanks you all...more of a concern to me is more negative behaviors appearing...and wondering if neutering now can prevent that from happening...I know it wont change what has already developed. Obviously I need to research this more. I am watching the pack structure DVD and then on to the Basic Obedience, not that I haven't done basic obedience with him, but we obviously need some refresher work...and I've never used Ed's...just what I learned from Maggie's trainer and done on my own.

Do you know about Ed's podcast and article on Groundwork? http://www.leerburg.com/dogtrainingpodcasts.htm Scroll down to 9 and 10. Someone mentioned that your own reaction to your dog's growling and hackling at you was extremely important. It is. Are you backing away, ever? Are you afraid of the dog? These are points that I had in mind when I suggested (and still do suggest) that you get a professional to eval the situation. That doesn't preclude the need to dive in with the videos, podcasts, and articles. If I were you, I'd do it all, starting today.

The second time, out of crate, I did leave the area...probably shouldn't have done that... But the next time, in his crate, I sat by him and didn't move...he stopped and once he was calmed I told him he was a good boy. Karla

Karla Armendariz Webboard User Reg: 03-06-2008 Posts: 142 Loc: California Offline	Thanks for asking Maisha...I just posted this on another thread. "I have also talked to a trainer and he suggested I go out with two bowls, one with a small amount of his food and the other with the rest...he suggested I sit there and put more food in as he finishes what is in the bowl...so he learns I am there to give him more and not take away. He also suggested that some of it I hand feed and some I put in the bowl. I will start this after I work on the pack structure issues...and after we brush up on his obedience." Karla
