The stubbornness is not likely to resolve just with neutering. You’re going to be doubling-down on training either way at this age because of adolescence. I just think there are too many downsides to neutering and no upsides that training can’t fix (well I guess there’s no possibility of testicular cancer?). I’ve heard too many stories and read too many studies of cancers and behaviors linked to neutering that I could never bring myself to do it. I also don’t vaccinate him other than what he needs for my area and lifestyle. He’s also not on flea and tick or heartworm. My area doesn’t have a lot of mosquitos, rabies or lyme disease, so I don’t give him those things. Also, consider that vets need to make money to stay in business, so trust your vet, but also research.

I sent you an email Alin before I saw this topic. What are your thoughts on implementing a dark mode for at least the community/forum section of the site where a lot of us members will be spending a lot of time? I assume there’s some sort of limitation, seeing as you thought about it for the Courses section, but I’d thought I’d present the idea.

I lucked out… my dog goes nuts over plain ol’ tennis balls.
