Frequently Asked Questions
Are Indian Pariah Dogs good for first-time owners?
Yes! Intelligent, adaptable and low maintenance, they are a great choice for first-time pet parents. But like all dogs, they require proper training, socialization, and proper care.
Is it difficult to train an Indian Pariah Dog?
They are quick learners so training them is relatively easy. However, they are entirely independent, and they respond well to positive reinforcement and consistent training. By socializing them early, they grow into well-behaved companions.
Are Indian Pariah Dogs dangerous?
Not at all! They are generally friendly, loyal, and non-aggressive dogs. If properly socialized and trained, they make good family pets. If exposed to different people, animals, and environments from an early age, they won’t become timid or overly cautious.
Are Indian Pariah Dogs good with kids?
Yes! They are naturally protective, loyal, and gentle towards children. They bond with their families and have strong affection for children, but only once properly trained and socialized. But their protective instincts make them great watchdogs for young families.
How much exercise do Indian Pariah Dogs need?
They are energetic dogs who need 2 hours of exercise daily to remain fit and prevent destructive behaviour. They love running, playing, fetching, and other physical activities. They stay happy, healthy, and mentally stimulated with regular exercise.
