Help I don't know what to do. My dog charlie is absolutely insane around his dog sister. He will not give her a minutes peace! She gets quite aggresive with him but he will not back down and it sometimes leads to quite a scrap.

Have you attended any obedience classes? Is your pup neutered? If you haven't attended any classes, I would highly recommend them as one of the most important commands is "Leave It" and should help stop the craziness. Also, if both of your dogs are not neutered and spayed, that is one of the major causes. Get him neutered if he isn't so that he uses common sense and not hormones. The books I would recommend that you look into regardless would be by Brian Kilcommons. He deals with a myriad of behavioral issues and will help you gain the knowledge to train your dogs into behaving a lot better! Good Luck! Keep us posted!

neutering can cause the other sex to become more crazy. neutering causes the hormones to dissapear and then the other sex doesn't know if its a male or female and may cause the neuterd dog to smell even more wonderfull!
never neuter unless it's absolutely nessecary!!

I don't know where you are getting your information, but neutering actually makes the dogs behavior better, and alleviates behavioral problems. Most importantly, neutering/spaying a dog helps diminish the chances of many varieties of cancer that dogs can get. If you aren't going to show your dog, or you aren't a reputable breeder, please get your dog spayed or neutered. A lot of men hesitate to get their male dogs neutered because it will take away their manhood...those people need to grow up. You can get fake testicles implanted during the neuter if that is so important. They come in different sizes too. Trust me, behavioral problems go away when your dog is neutered/spayed. Plus, it is responsible as you are not contributing to the pet overpopulation problem all around the world!

wel my information is from 10 years licenced training dogs and giving behavior therapie. i have bred dogs and have done all dog sports that are available with dogs. also many years experience with the dutch spca and a licenced nurse and qualified teacher. my best friend is a vet and dog behavior therapist.
i don't think that my information is there fore unmotivated!

You mean I have something to look forward to with our little female??

don't count on it! behavioral problems don't dissapear with neutering. a bitch may become more agressif, male dogs may push themselves more on her because they aren't shure what she is anymore. they can become compulsive eaters and become fat, their coats will change for the worse(with long haired dogs) they can become incontinent. their charcter may change and she may become more moody.
i'm not saying that you shouldn't neuter your dog but don't be misled and know the pro's and cons!

Claiming to be a good trainer doesn't make you one. I am sorry to be harsh, but I probably have a lot more experience with training than you do. Food - what you feed your dog is the foundation of all health problems and has to do with weight gain...which is why it is important to go to www.dogfoodanalysis.com and get the best food you can afford. Which by the way ends up being cheaper than the stuff at the grocery store. You always have something to look forward to when neutering and spaying your dog. I have fostered dogs for quite a few dogs and trained them all. Very few dogs become incontinent after spaying and neutering. More do after being bred. There are many more pros than cons. Unless you are a reputable breeder who health tests their dogs, spay and neuter your dogs. You are doing yourself and others a great service! Most importantly, you are preventing your dog from getting several forms of cancer. I want my dogs to live a long and healthy life which they are.

Remember that vets are just that...they are there for health and are not experts with training. If you look at the AVMA which does more research than any other animal agency, they advocate spaying and neutering. I find that dogs are much easier to train when they are spayed and neutered because the hormones aren't fogging their vision so to speak. Any champion dog trainer will encourage the same thing. Although dogs can compete in many competitions unaltered, they usually have instincts that help overrun any hormones like a hound for example. If they are in a scent competition, they are following their nose, not their nuts! But BT's are non-sporting which in essence means that they were bred to just be companions, and look cute which they do remarkably well I might add.

well i'm glad you can see that through a computer!
i am not against neutering just saying that it's not THE solution.........
behavioral problems don't end with neutering alone. but you have the anwers..................
