Plain old tennis ball. As far as Sailor is concerned, life is about tennis balls. (I do limit his vigorous chewing – bad for tooth enamel.)

I’m echoing what many have said. I never neutered any of my dogs, and with patience and consistent training, never had an issue. I would only neuter for a medical issue such as an undescended testicle. From about 6 months to 18/24 months most pups (varies per size) are going through adolescence, and can become Dogzilla for a time. That may be contributing to your pup’s behavior.

This article links to the research the trainer in the the video Alin posted. (And also the ongoing C-BARQ study, which is interesting to take for your dog.) There is one study that found that dogs with chronic marking issues had a 66% decrease in marking. But that was the only benefit.

Corey wasn’t my first Siberian. But he was my first Siberian to finish an AKC UD title.

I’ve loved all my huskies, but he is my ❤️dog. Probably because I worked with him so much. He loved obedience trials! Unfortunately this blurry photo is the only one I have of him.
