Character and Behavior of a Czechoslovakian Wolfdog

He is very intelligent and always considers whether a task makes sense to him. He works with his human—not for them—which makes training him correspondingly challenging. The Czechoslovakian Wolfdog is very independent and often suspicious of strangers, and can even be fearful at times. Being left alone is very difficult for him; in such situations, he tends toward destructive behavior and is also considered a true escape artist, as he needs the closeness of his pack or his primary caregiver. He shows great enthusiasm for nose work such as tracking or mantrailing. A respectful, calm approach is particularly important to him.
