​

Breed: gsd sighthound mix

Age: 3 years and 1 month

Sex:female

Weight:30kg

Medical history: the only health issue she has is food allergies has a checkup every year, a very healthy dog in general, no prior surgeries or blood work, no concerns regarding health

​

It was recommended by the vet to wait until she was fully mentally mature to spay her due to her reactivity, it's gotten better over the years. Shes not a general anxious dog in and around the house, her only trigger is strangers she's not a bite risk she's just a timid dog that trys running away and creating space as much as possible that can include trying to back out of her harness and collar.

​

My question is what behavioural changes come with a spay? I don't want her reactivity to go back and undo all the progress shes made in the past almost 3 years of having her. She's also a very active dog (exercise 3-4 hours a day) so I know she might struggle with having limited experience with her triggers and that might also hinder her progression if she's not experiencing the outside world.

​

Thanks in advance!
