How are dogs affected when their owners argue?
Dogs are sensitive to owners' mood changes; during arguments they sense tension and show restlessness, pacing, lip-licking, dropped ears, and a tucked tail. Some try to intervene (barking, blocking, licking); others withdraw. Long-term conflict can cause anxiety, poor sleep, reduced appetite, weakened immunity, and over-grooming.
What are the dangers of cutting a dog’s vocal cords?

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.
