Thai Ridgebacks as with most Sight-hounds, tend to be rather nervous and high strung. Most are aloof, even suspicious with strangers. They are best suited for owners with a lot of experience of dogs, as they tend to be difficult to train. TRD's need a solid pack leader who is calm and not given to yelling or emotional outbursts. Most Thai Ridgebacks are a little too sensitive to live in a household with small children. And are best suited in calm homes. Thai Ridgebacks are sensitive dogs and do not take well to stress. They respond best with training techniques based on positive reinforcement as this most suits the nature of the Thai Ridgeback harsh training techniques and shouting will not work with them, this will only make them more nervous and is more likely to make them suffer from fear aggression. TRD's are beautiful dogs. However, they are not a breed for everyone. Those looking for an outgoing sociable family dog should look elsewhere. They are great dogs for a single adult or a couple who enjoy some outdoor activity. They do not like to be left alone for long periods of time. And are not yappy dogs and will only bark when necessary. Thai Ridgebacks have moderate exercise requirements, they like to run when outdoors, but are notorious couch potatoes when inside. Care must be taken when exercising your TRD, since they are sight-hounds, they are prone to chasing anything that moves and are gone in a flash! Your backyard must have very high fences, since these dogs are very agile and can jump to great heights without a problem. They have independent and stubborn temperaments, so are slow to learn obedience training even though they are highly intelligent.
