Basically, when to chop em off?!
Pup is 8months. Has recently started to do loads of weeing, sniffing licking of bits and general horn dog stuff when out walking. A few times I've seen him put his paw onto anther dogs back as ifs hes debating a quick hump. I've managed to call him away but am much less confident re recall- I've upped recall training, and have been keeping him on his lead when lots of dogs/bitches around. He constantly has his head up the arse of my dads whippet bitch. He's also been dragging his vet bed around the garden and giving it bit of a hard time. Not currently humping the family or anything inside. When I had dogs as a kid, they were all done at 6 months. Current vet says 12/18 months or when fully grown and matured. My trainer who is as fab as a fab thing is of the 'if it's not an issue, don't bother' approach. Says it can make a nervous worried dog worse, due to loss of hormones. ( although he's neither, is very cheery and steady). Any advice/personal experience much appreciated.
