My boxer labrador mix is one year old. I have not had her spayed yet but have an appointment beginning of Feb. and will have it done then.
My question is about her behavior. She gets along with other dogs really well after she meets them, but if I am out on a walk or if she sees another dog from far away she goes nuts. She has a deep mean sounding growl and her hackles (hair) raise up and she is all stiff and tense. Is she just being protective?
Anyways, will she calm down when meeting/seeing other dogs after this surgery?
