Frequently Asked Questions
Do Catahoula Leopard Dogs get along with other pets?
With proper socialization and training, Catahoula Leopard Dogs can coexist with other pets. However, their strong prey drive and protective instincts may require supervision and careful introductions, especially with smaller animals like cats or small dogs.
Are Catahoula Leopard Dogs prone to separation anxiety?
Catahoula Leopard Dogs form strong bonds with their owners and may experience separation anxiety if left alone for long periods. To prevent this, it's important to gradually acclimate them to being alone, provide plenty of mental and physical stimulation, and consider options like doggy daycare or a pet sitter when necessary.
Are Catahoula Leopard Dogs prone to wandering or escaping?
Catahoula Leopard Dogs have a strong prey drive and independent nature, which may lead them to wander or attempt to escape if not properly trained or supervised. Secure fencing and regular exercise can help prevent wandering behavior.
