Most dominantly aggressive dogs are male, which causes many people to neuter their male canine companions. Removing testosterone can decrease the intensity of a canine's reaction to stimulus. Testosterone does not cause a behavior to occur, but its absence may decrease the occurrence of a "bad" behavior.

For domestic dogs the tie may last up to half an hour or more, though usually less. [7] When male canines are sexually excited, the bulbus glandis may swell up inside the penile sheath, even if the dog has been neutered. [8] The bulbus glandis also occurs in the penises of some pinnipeds, including South American fur seals. [9]
Male felids are able to urinate backwards by curving the tip of the glans penis backward. [54] [55] In cats, the glans penis is covered with spines. Penile spines also occur on the glans of male and female spotted hyenas. [54] In male dogs the glans penis is smooth and consists of two parts called the bulbus glandis and pars longa glandis. [56]
They are the only accessory reproductive glands in male monotremes. Placental mammals usually have one pair of bulbourethral glands, [ 3 ] while male marsupials have 1–3 pairs. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] Of all domesticated animals, they are absent only in dogs.
A penis (/ ˈ p iː n ɪ s /; pl.: penises or penes) is a male sex organ that is used to inseminate female or hermaphrodite animals during copulation. [1] [2] Such organs occur in both vertebrates and invertebrates, including humans, but not in all male animals. The term penis applies to many intromittent organs, but not to all.
The tunica vaginalis is a pouch of [2] serous membrane [3] within the scrotum that lines the testis and epididymis (visceral layer of tunica vaginalis), and the inner surface of the scrotum (parietal layer of tunica vaginalis).
[35]: 140 The dog's visual system has evolved to aid in hunting. [28] Dogs have been shown to be able to discriminate between humans (e.g., identifying their human guardian) at a range of between 800 and 900 metres (2,600 and 3,000 ft); however, this range decreases to 500–600 metres (1,600–2,000 ft) if the object is stationary.
