I also have to say that my Shih Tzu male displayed this behavior, and he was neutered. I know when he did it, there was frustration from something going on. Usually when I took him out for a walk for played with him, he calmed down. This is animal behavior, and there is no right or wrong, but there are usually reasons behind it. Whether or not they are altered doesn't matter. What I would suggest is to start keeping track of when he or she is doing the behavior (after a walk, when they just got up, no activity) and maybe you can put the pieces together. Hope this helps some,
