Castration and behaviour
In this video, dog training expert Jez Rose explains how castration affects dog behaviour and dog training.
Jez discusses a topic that is so often at the forefront of new dog owners' minds - should you or should you not castrate your male dog?
Is it a myth that castrated dogs are calmer, less dominant or less aggressive? Is it the magic formula for solving behaviour issues that it is so often considered to be?
Jez explains how castration is unlikely to influence your dog's behaviour, but also why it does often appear to have done so. Importantly, Jez includes ideas of other more suitable options to choose, instead of castration, that would make a bigger difference to your dog's well-being, happiness and behaviour.
