neutering?? and snapping
I was just reading up on what ages to neuter, and I know loads of people have different opinions, my vet said I can neuter anytime from 5 months old, im not sure whats to do for the best.
hes also snapping when hes getting told off, even if I tell him off and put him in the kitchen, hes so loving, but he is also so mardy when he cant get his own way!!

Just be consistent with your training and he will learn it's not acceptable. As for neutering like you say it's personal choice really, with girls I would always say wait but not sure about boys

yeah weve been doing the same everyday, thankfully my sister in law has gone now, so normality can resume.
I just dont want him to have issues if I do it too early.

Just keep training him. Neutering won't change his behaviour and he's far to young anyway you want him to complete his development .they are all have their mad moments at this age don't worry

ohh no!! I didnt mean it because of that, I was just curious at what age I should do it, because I dont want to hurt him or cause problems with him if I do it too early!!
ahah yes, I am desperatly trying to get him to sleep on his own at the moment, hes finally getting the hint and going to bed if I keep pushing him down when he tries to jump up

Re: neutering?? and snapping
We've had the same dilemma about what age to neuter Alfie.. It's really difficult because everyone has very different opinions. He's 8 months now and we're going to get him done at 9 months as we know a lot of people who have neutered their dogs at this age and this is what was recommended by our vet. It's all down to the individual though, you'll know when he's ready I think xx
