Dog & Canine Castration

Castration of the male canine is generally being used to modify the behavior of certain animals. It is an effective way to control their typically "macho" impulses. The natural impulses of dogs that have gone through this process generally tend to diminish for example on trying to "hump" people or animals, marking their territory with their urine and the aggressive behavior with other males.

Although it is true that dogs seem calmer after this intervention, it's not like they become abnormally inactive or lethargic. They do not show signs of a decrease in their activity or lack of protection over their property. They maintain their copulatory instincts although they do show a cutback in their sexual activity. Nevertheless, castration does not seem to reduce the ability of the male to compete for females when they're in heat.
