Our six-month Beagle-Retriever mix was neutered this morning. Post-op instructions say to limit food & keep him quite in his crate.
He's working up quite a bother, scratching at the crate & howling (just started this afternoon). Fed him 1/4 cup (half of his regular evening amt) and perhaps an additional 1/4 as rewards for entering his crate. After he began to violently scratch his crate gate, we've let him out and he's hunting the kitchen for more food.

After one of my dogs was neutered he did the same thing.
I kept giving him VERY small meals. I think 1/4 cup every 2 hours until he stopped. I would keep him quiet, either tethered or crated, but make sure you can hear him in case he vomits in his crate.
They say to limit his meals because the anesthesia they use can sometimes cause nausea in dogs. My dog never experienced any nausea but just to be safe I fed him small meals and left enough time for his tummy to settle.

I would give him something to chew( I use bully sticks or raw marrow bones, kong with some peanut butter and treats or kibble inside). You want something to keep him entertained for a fair amount of time.
So walking, on leash, no running/jumping. Hide his dinner in small piles around the living room and let him "hunt" for his dinner.
Marker training is awesome, try 101 things to do with a box, it doesn't require very much physical effort, just mental.
