A note about spaying and neutering. I know that breeders ask owners to wait until at least a year. While I respect their opinions, it does not work in daycare. Right around six months you will see a definite change in behavior. The boys will start marking and humping- upsetting other dogs, boys and girls will get a little more aggressive. Even if they seem fine to you, other dogs smell the difference. Other dogs, either here or at the dog park or in your elevator could be aggressive towards your dog, causing a fight. For good socialization it is best to take care of this around six months. The longer you wait, the antisocial behavior could become more fixed in their personalities.
