Neutering or Spaying = No aggression in dogs… FALSE!

“One can be devoted to a woman, but can't be stopped from ogling at others. That is an instinct which can't die whatever procedures one performs on the external body”. - Manoor Sachdev



Aggression in a dog is an Instinct; nothing can take it away or calm it down, unless in the human world the pet owner has the will to do it. In almost 99.99% cases that “C. S” has worked on be it Pedigree or Stray, the pet owners have either Neutered or Spayed their dogs or are willing to at suggestions of people who themselves say “We can’t guarantee, but it might help”.

We would appreciate & understand if anyone had said… do the procedure for the greater good which is to control the over population of dogs.

Yes, neutering or spaying does take away excitement, aggression & calms the dogs down but only when the female dogs are on heat. It prevents any male dog fights when they smell a female dog and are in a pack. Spaying helps the female dogs by not getting on heat to begin with or get excited when she meets an interesting male dog. Studies have suggested that spaying or neutering may increase possessive aggression towards human companion but is inconclusive, I mention this because we have come across cases that said that the dog started biting the owner after the procedure.

We would always suggest anyone to spay or neuter a dog, but it should only be for the greater good of not over crowding the streets or have the puppies in an unstable home. There is no easy way to achieve a calm & well balanced dog. The only way to achieve it is that the pet owner understands their animals instinct, who is a dog & not only the cute dog who is a baby. Treating your dog as a baby is a good therapy for humans & the dog will agree with your demand, but in return the dog will always appreciate if you can understand their instincts & guide them in the right direction being a calm & assertive leader.

If your dog is not neutered or spayed we suggest you take the following precautions;
  • Always walk your male dog in the open world with the leash on;
  • Always check if any female is on heat when going to a off-leash dog parks (we anyways don't have many, but we tend to off-leash them in human parks where there could be female strays on heat)
  • If you have a male & a female dog at home, try & keep them separate or if you can - ask your friends to help you by keeping your male dogs for that period;
  • Train your dog to have him under control when around other dogs, which will keep them from getting into fights in general & on command when a female dog on heat is in the area;
  • A dog can smell a female dog on heat from a distance of approximately 6kms, so never let your dog sneak out of the open door, because you never know where he might end up;
From our personal experience spaying or neutering a dog can lead to rejection from a regular pack of other dogs your dog ones enjoyed playing with. It is because of a simple reason that dogs use their smelling sense before sight or sound & the neutered or spayed dog looses his unique smell.

Another way to avoid having an aggressive pet at home will be - Never to buy a dog off the shelf because they will have multiple behavioral issues.

To begin with, various behavioral  issues in "puppies off the shelf" arise because -
  • The puppy has not spent enough time with the mother & will not have the basic etiquette's to behave in a human world which comes from the mother & the litter which becomes a pack;
  • A puppy should spend minimum 55days with the mother & the litter, also should be socialized with strange humans from 45th day to 50days;
  • You will never know the history of off the shelf puppies, of how they were breed & if they are a product of puppy mills or back door breeding.
