My puppy is only 4 months old and he is constantly sticking his penis out, he hasn't been neutered yet and the vet wants to wait till he is 1. Why does he keep sticking it out and what can we do?

There is really nothing you can do about it, it's perfectly normal. i agree with your vet advice, as he is due to be a large breed dog, it's advised to wait until around a year of age for the neutering.
