Will neutering my dog help to correct some of his behavior problems???

My 2 year old american bulldog has all of a sudden started acting soooooooo strange!! The dog next door recently went into heat, and my dog has just turned into a different dog! All he wanted to do was stay outside, and howl at the fence, stopped eating, and stopped even wanting to have much to do with us. He has also started to mark his territory in the house which is something he has never done. He has also started to act very irritated with my child, who has been his best friend his whole life. I havent had him neutered yet because I thought he was just such a great dog, and I was afraid it would some how change him………….but now, he needs to change his behavior for himself and all of us too!!! So I guess my question is, will neutering him help him with all of these new behaviors, and will he become our sweet big baby again????

Thanks!!!

Answer
That’s why we recommend neutering dogs before they hit sexual maturity. Neutering him is a kindness. They can smell a bitch in heat for miles and his behavior is a result of just that.

It takes about 2 months for the testosterone to leave his system after neutering, but it is so worth it.
