Question

My dog is a four year old pyrenees/australian shepherd mix. Recently he has become VERY aggressive to strangers. would neutering make him less aggressive, Do you have any other suggestions? Pet's info: Dog | Australian Shepherd | Male | unneutered | 4 years and 9 months old | 56 lbs

Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

Neutering can help with aggression, so I strongly recommend getting that done for Regan. But he also needs behavioral training as soon as possible. He needs an expert to work with him on his aggressive behaviors to prevent him from hurting another person. I never recommend owners work with aggressive dogs on their own, so speak to his vet about a recommendation to a professional behavioral expert. I would do this today. Best of luck.
