Unfortunately, Spud has 2 behaviors that neutering may help. Testosterone can play a role in marking behaviors in the house (which is considered a normal behavior for an intact male). Testosterone can also play a role in aggression in some dogs. So, I would recommend consulting with your veterinarian about that. I have attached a link to a handout below that may also give you some ideas. http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=2284 In the meantime, the longer a dog urinates in the house, the harder it will be to eliminate the behavior. I would recommend a belly band (https://www.bellybands.net/) to prevent the behavior for now. Also, make sure you are not punishing Spud for urinating in the house. That may make aggression worse. Good luck! I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using PetCoach.
