Yes, it makes perfect since. Most male dogs start becoming sexually mature at 6 months so they start becoming more territorial. They'll mark their territory and start the whole humping thing. A lot of times if you wait too long to have them neutered and they have already started marking, then the neutering doesn't help with it. Of course sometimes even if they are neutered young, they will still mark later own too, but not as likely. I would definatly take the advice of your vet (if you feel comfortable with him). They know best... after all, that's why they went to school for 6+ years. GOD help them... lol! ~Lacey
