Catahoulas are highly intelligent, energetic, and quick, yet are very loving and gentle with children. They are inquisitive and have an independent streak. The Catahoula temperament is well suited for everyone; these dogs can to be protective of their territory and family if trained to do so, but are very kind and gentle toward other dogs. These traits, combined with their independent nature, their high energy levels, and physical strength, can make a Catahoula "too much dog" for inexperienced or meek owners, and can make having such a dog a problem in apartments and small spaces without a lot of exercise. Ideally, a Catahoula should have proper obedience training, secure confinement on the owner's property, and an outlet for its energy. The ideal place for this breed would be in a rural area where they can have plenty of space to expend their energy. Some catahoulas may be aggressive towards strangers others outside of the family.
