I'm stumped.
My mom has a nearly 3yo Cavalier. He's currently unneutered as the breed is so susceptible to Mitral Valve deformity that my mom is quite wary of putting them under anaesthetic because of the stress on their hearts.
This is her 4th Cavvie, and 2nd male. The last one was quite a calm dog, barely barked and when he did, went quiet when you told him.
This one is a whole other kettle of fish.
He's excitable, barks like a loon at anyone coming to the house, and anyone who leaves. He patrols the windowsill where he sits and even frightens the postman with the level of barking.
He's not aggressive, he just really really wants to see you! If you come in he's all over you with love and attention.
He's very attention seeking and constantly is all over mom and won't leave her alone.
I have voiced the suggestion it might be worth getting him de-balled to see if it will calm some of this behaviour down, the patrolling, barking at anything that moves outside...etc
Am i right? Or is it a waste of time?

The doghouse
Will getting him neutered calm him down?
