Are Australian Cattle Dogs aggressive?

No, Australian Cattle Dogs are not inherently aggressive. However, they are protective and can be wary of strangers, which may come across as aggression if not properly managed. Early socialization, proper training, and positive experiences can help prevent any aggressive tendencies from developing.

If you are concerned by any signs of aggression or reactivity in your dog, be sure to address it promptly with the help of a professional trainer or behaviorist. Pain, discomfort, or underlying medical conditions can sometimes contribute to changes in a dog’s behavior, so it may also be worth visiting a vet to rule out their health as a cause for signs of aggressive behavior.
