I have a 2 year old male field spaniel that's quite aggresive. Will getting him neutered stop the aggresion?

Not necessarily, but it's a start. Is his aggresion towards other male dogs or people or ??? If it's a dominance thing then neutering him may help curb it a bit, but it isn't necessarily a cure-all. Regardless, neutering him would be better for his own health and the excess pet population, not to mention you wouldn't want to pass that agression on if he WERE to breed. :)

probably

Yes - get him neutered.

It will tone down the testosterone, but not the aggression. Training with a behaviorist is your best bet. There is NO easy fix for aggression.

some say it does stop,but by experience my dog got worse..but all dogs are different..i would talk to your vet and see what he thinks is best...

there is a very good chance that it will

Yes, having him neutered should have a great affect on his aggression. He will not be as Territorial or threatening to other animals. It is also important to his health to have him neutered. This will highly decrease his chances of many cancers and diseases.

It will help with his aggression, although it won't seem like it right away. Some spaniels will immediately show a difference while it takes others a little while. Watch his weight after you get him nuetered. My cocker spaniel gained quite a bit and I had to start exercising him and put him on a diet.

Nope it won't do the trick.
What this dog needs is to be sent to a good dog trainer for this problem and for you also to learn what to do when ever this dog gets aggressive again. You both need training but for different reasons.
The dog needs to learn not to be aggressive and you need to learn how to teach your dog what's not allowed and this is the only way for you and your dog to have a happy life together.
Hope this information is helpful to the both of you.

It should help. As the pattern of aggression has already been established, additional steps may need to be taken. The neutering should be a good first step. Dominance, socialization, daily activity levels are all other areas that may need to be addressed.

yes it will!
he will no longer have any testoserone and the aggression will be gone

No, Your dog is over dominant. The neatered WILL not solve any thing. TRUST ME DO WATSE YOUR MONEY

I would suggest taking him to a good obedience school. There are methods they will teach you to stop the aggression, train your pet to be obedient by teaching him commands and manners. You both will be happier with each other.

dont count on it !
