Why is my puppy rebellious and challenging me after neutering?

Question

I’m trying to train my dog recently. And I’ve noticed that AFTER I got him fixed. That’s when the rebellion is coming. It’s not to the point i can’t control him and he doesn’t listen at all. But i noticed now that basic commands we learned when he came home he is sometimes doing it and then he stares me in the face and i try not to repeat myself when i say the command but he definitely tries me. He’s naturally really submissive and listens very well. But how do you get over this rebellion? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | neutered | 7 months and 18 days old | 115 lbs

This is totally normal behavior for a 7 month old puppy. He is trying to find his place in the pack. This is the time they challenge higher ranking pack members which includes you. You just have to work through this and be consequent in your actions. He will eventually stop the challenging behavior.
