My dog is 9 months old and not neutered. We have no intention of neutering until fully grown at the earliest due to his timid nature around people. This is advice from the behaviourist & supported by our vet.
My problem is other male dogs around him. I appreciate puppies can be annoying, bouncy etc & mine has no fear of other dogs whatsoever. As far as he is concerned, every dog is his playmate. He is very submissive & I think this is his saving grace as when another dog has got aggressive around him, he just rolls onto his back/cries/whines.
So recently Ive noticed a change in other dogs behaviour around him. I think he is defo in the teenage dog phase, hes started cocking his leg/marking etc so Im thinking other males must be aware of this and feel threatened? Not sure how it works, but due to two very close calls with other dogs, I am felling very wary.
I now keep him on a lead if I see a dog I don't know, to suss it out before I let him off, but even dogs who have been v playful with him until now have turned on him.
Advice??
