Puppy gone hyper after desexing

[poppii]

My little boy was desexed last Friday, he was 6 months old. Since then he’s gone hyper, roaming around the house chewing anything he can get his teeth on and biting our hands. He used to be so placid and sweet. Is the hyperactivity due to the post surgery hormones ? Will he be his old self again ?

I doubt that the hyperactivity has anything to do with the surgery. Sorry, but at six months old your pup has just become an adolescent!

This stage will probably last until he is about 18 months old. As he is a poodle cross, you will need to up his training and make sure that his mind is kept exercised!

There are some great tips in this article: Surviving a Canine's Adolescence

This in depth article has lots of suggestions and information: Raising a puppy: Dealing with dog adolescence

You might find, as many of us do, that the next 12 months is a frustrating time - but put the effort in and you will have a family member that you can be proud of for the rest of his life! Good luck!

Thanks for the info. just too co-incidental it started after desexing. Need to tough it out then.

Agree not desexing but generally a pup pushing the boundaries .Pup is still teething so chewing is normal ,have all the teeth fallen out or dies pup still have some double teeth .

Pup is reaching an age of confidence and wanting to experience new things even if it’s not what behaviour we want ,just stick to good honest direction and boundaries .

Sounds very normal just a new stage of working with the new skills your little one is trying
