If this is in response to my having Ted castrated next week, it's been a long hard decision.
I've seen the recent scientific papers - the vet thrust them at me
However, Ted isn't fear aggressive. His behaviour kicked in around the 5 month mark which for a small dog is when testosterone starts to rise.
We've lessened a lot of the problems, but the best I can describe is that this little dog gets blooming angry. His brother is actually worse than he is as he attacks everything he meets.
It may be the right thing to do or it may be the wrong thing. Only time will tell, but whether it does or not, he's staying regardless. He's a tiny dog so I can cope with his behaviour as is if really necessary, but hopefully the results of the op will work in our favour.
With him needing an op to remove his teeth anyway, it makes sense to me to go for it and behaviour training has been ongoing from the time we got him and will continue
