What changes after a dog is neutered or spayed?
Neutering (spaying or castration) is a common pet medical procedure. It not only prevents over-breeding but also lowers the risk of reproductive-system diseases such as breast cancer, pyometra, and ovarian tumors in females, and testicular cancer and prostatitis in males. In addition, neutering removes the heat cycle, so heat-related problem behaviors disappear — including restlessness, inappropriate urination, increased aggression, running away, and excessive barking. Finally, because of hormonal changes, some dogs tend to gain weight after the procedure, so the owner should moderately reduce the dog's food intake.

A scolded dog may react in various ways depending on breed, personality, and method. Mostly there is no obvious reaction, since dogs do not understand words and will not fear the scolding. Smarter dogs read tone and expression and may become nervous, hide, or even retaliate by destroying things, barking, or biting.
