No, Chow Chows are not inherently aggressive dogs, but they do have a strong sense of loyalty and may be assertive towards strangers or unfamiliar dogs. Early socialization, proper training, and responsible pet parenting are crucial for managing any potential aggression tendencies in Chow Chows.
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 their behavior.
