Remember no one is arguing the need for sterilization, it's the surgical technique that should be reevaluated. Hysterectomy and vasectomy achieve the same goal but leave important hormones intact according to science.

"The association between gonadectomy and timing of gonadectomy, and the risk of canine cranial cruciate ligament disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract
Objective - To determine if gonadectomy in dogs is associated with the risk of cranial cruciate ligament disease (CrCLD) and to quantify the magnitude of the association.

Study design - Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Sample population - Comparative studies with gonadectomized and entire dogs, with CrCLD as an outcome measure.

Methods - A systematic search of the primary and gray literature was performed. The effect size of the outcome measure was defined as the OR and 95% CI. Subgroup analysis was performed with s*x, breed, and age at gonadectomy. A pooled OR (95% CI) was generated from meta-analysis of relevant studies. Certainty in the body of evidence was rated with the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) framework.

Results - The literature search yielded 1398 results and 24 relevant studies were included for synthesis. Gonadectomized female (pooled OR = 2.293, 95% CI = 1.768–2.945) and male (pooled OR = 2.117, 95% CI = 1.665–2.691) dogs were both at increased odds of developing CrCLD in comparison with entire female and male dogs, respectively. Subgroup analysis showed that gonadectomy at 1 year or less was consistently associated with an increase in odds of developing CrCLD in both s*xes. Overall certainty in the evidence was rated as moderate. All included studies were observational and no controlled trials were available.

Conclusion - In data with moderate certainty, gonadectomy is associated with increased odds of developing CrCLD in both s*xes, particularly in dogs gonadectomized at 1 year of age or less.

Clinical significance - This study provides an estimate of the true effect size of gonadectomy on the odds of developing CrCLD, which may be useful for clinical decision making surrounding gonadectomy and the timing of gonadectomy."

Teaching Manners with Love and Respect

My name is Gina Nichols and I am a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) and owner of Dog Obedience by Gina (D.O.G.) I am an honors graduate of Animal Behavior College. My year-long commitment to this program provided me with a formal education in canine obedience training and understanding of behavior and it's motives.

In addition to my certification, I am trained in pet CPR and First Aid. I am a professional member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT), International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC), Pet Professionals Guild (PPG) and I am bonded and insured. I am also a qualified Canine Good Citizen Evaluator and can help your pup to earn his CGC status in the AKC records.

My certifications, education and experience provide me the skills required to effectively and humanely train your dog while keeping alive the spark that makes your dog so special to you. I keep up-to-date with the most valuable and relevant information on current training techniques. I use positive reinforcement, science based techniques to train your pups. Since my graduation from ABC in September of 2015, I have attended lectures and seminars totaling countless hours of learning and will continue to update my education and welcome and implement new and improved training techniques. I learn from only the BEST. During the course of my training programs, we will teach your dog respect and manners using luring, shaping, capturing and molding. We will watch your dog grow and learn to become a well-behaved family member. I will teach you how to socialize and house train your new puppy. You will learn to train your dog to be reliable and under control, off leash, at a distance and around distractions. We will use treats as a lure and will phase out food and other external rewards quickly. Many people understand the importance of early puppyhood socialization. You may enroll your puppy in a training class, introduce your puppy to lots of friends and neighbors and may even host puppy play dates. These things are wonderful and have done so much to improve the temperament of countless dogs. Unfortunately, after this intensive early socialization period, many owners think they are in the clear. They think that their hard work has paid off and that their puppy is friendly and sociable in every situation they find themselves in. What they don't realize is that dogs will naturally become more shy and standoffish as they get older. Adolescent and adult dogs will develop fears and phobias to stimuli that they are not continually exposed to. You should continue to train your dog every day of his life. This will keep his mind sharp and body active and keep a constant, well-rounded relationship between you and your dog. I will be more than happy to answer any questions and help with any problem behaviors that may arise for the life of your dog. I look forward to working with you and all of your family members!
