Q.  I have an almost 2 yrs old Chihuahua /Terrier and he is not neutered yet. lately he has been real aggressive, barking, snipping and growling at everyone he doesn't know. I'm afraid he might get lose and bite someone. The one thing that confuses me is that he just started to do this 4 months ago and before that anyone could hold and pet him. Is this behavior because of him not being neutered? Oh yea, he has to urinated everywhere. sooo please help me.. 

 

 

A. It is almost certainly because your dog is not neutered that he is showing this behavior. He has just reached sexual maturity and his testosterone levels are peaking. I would recommend that you have him neutered as soon as possible and then get him into a training class for small dogs so that you can help his stop the bad behavior.
