[QUOTE="TedH71, post: 875726, member: 3233"] Catahoulas can be good pets if you know how to manage them. My catahoula isn't my first one. Main key is to keep them exercised good and train them to do mental exercises (obedience...after you exercise them, they listen better). I've even considered buying a dog treadmill for the long dreary winter days just to keep my dog exercised to the point he won't think about chewing stuff up. I live in the suburbs but my dog works hogs. They can decide to learn how to climb fences like my dog has so I am having to invest in a coyote roller to install on the fences here. If you have kids and you spank them once in a while, keep in mind, the catahoula isn't going to like you spanking the kids either and will tell you otherwise...same problem if your kids' friends come over and try to play wrestle with them. They get wound up thinking the kid is hurting their kids. They tend to wander much less after age 2 because by then, their bodies and minds have completed maturing. I had problems with socializing my dogs...so what I did was take them to places where there are many people around and walking the pup around (that's when they're under a year old). It really helps because they can be somewhat sensitive to strangers to the point that they act like you beat them or they act like they're gonna bite strangers. Keep in mind, lots of them become dog aggressive when they get older because part of their duties is to kill or drive out trepassing animals and that includes strange dogs. [/QUOTE]
