Hi All,
Just looking for some quick advice really or if anyone else has had the same experience with their dog.
I have a 11 month old beagle named Bailey, going to be 12 months old this month (October). We have recently got him neutered as advice from our vets and friends/family as we arent going to breed him and hopefully it will stop him looking for a mate and not as aggressive! but being a beagle he is always going to be naught haha!
Since getting him neutered his aggression is at worst i have ever seen it, he normally is just aggressive when he is possessive over something e.g something he may have caught. Recently after his surgery, its been about 2 weeks roughly - his aggression is just getting progressively worse and he is actually starting to scare some family member because of this. He growls, his hackles come up, bears his teeth, goes for you and has biten me and my partner on an occasion. He has a heart of gold, i dont know where it comes from like it snaps into another dog, its horrible! He does this at the most simple things, usually the things that he doesnt want to do, go into the kitchen, he will lay on the floor and growl at you, if he has stolen a sock or something and he wont give it back he goes crazy, growls wont give it back and goes for you.
I didnt know if anyone else has experienced this after getting their dog done, could it just be down to hormones everywhere or something more ... ?
Thank you x
