I have always been around dogs and had at least one in the household. GSD's, Schnauzers, Labrador s, Border Collies and x-breeds and always been fantastic natures.

I now have a Bangkaew and at only 10 weeks old is showing more aggression than I have seen in any of my previous dogs.
When you try to reprimand her she will come forward with teeth showing rather than backing off.
When people visit she likes to follow them very close behind and has given a couple of nips at the back of the calf, amusing whilst still a puppy but fearful for the future.
She has constant attention but I really think she is going to be a problem especially as we have many children in close proximity.
It was the wife who wanted this breed, had I have done some research it wouldn't have happened

Hi Macca,

You were describing the exact characteristic of my 2nd Bangkeaw, Mocca.

Started nipping ankles, calf's and wrist at about the same time.

Yes, it would be a problem in the future if not tackled or remedied immediately.

Mocca, is already 8 months of age now. Still a work in progress but thus far, had managed to break his incessant barking and saw improvements in socializing him.

Though he's still a handful, a Jack Russell on steroids...lol.

I tailored his training accordingly as his attention span during it last no longer than 10 minutes, at most.

Do PM me and we can exchange experiences as I'm trying to break down the Bangkeaw psyche.

Like you, I have never been without a dog since I was a mere baby and had had many different breeds.

Currently 3 are with me now in Udonthani. The other 9 are in Nongkhai as my current rented house is not conducive to have more until I secured some lands here.

Regards

You have to be the their leader because they are by nature designed to need a boss. Above all, educate the dominant dog to obey your orders. However for the first times don't take them out together, alternatively put a muzzle to the dominant dog.

God morning !

My two bath worth is that FIRST you select a dog that suite YOUR temprament and what YOU want out of it.How skilled are you/willing to be,how much time and patience do you have,what kind of TEMPER do YOU have.ect..not the other way around.That said,this is something that WIKI told me about this breed:

"Health and temperament[edit]
This is an intelligent, athletic, agile and robust breed. It will be a loyal and protective family companion as well as an excellent watchdog. The Thai Bangkaew Dog is a loving, intelligent and alert dog that makes an excellent and devoted family companion as well as a good working and hunting dog. This breed will be affectionate with its family, will get along well with children and a properly socialized dog will be very gentle with smaller children.
The Thai Bangkaew Dog is not an aggressive breed but can be aloof with strangers and is very territorial and protective. However, this breed is more likely to threaten than bite and attack. It makes a great guardian and watchdog that will loudly announce arrival of any visitor (friend or stranger).
The Thai Bangkaew Dog is a breed that is known to be very aggressive towards other dogs. With other animals your dog will get along well if you start socialization from a very young age. This breed is definitely for an experienced owner.

The Thai Bangkaew Dog is an intelligent breed, but is independent and can be stubborn. Therefore, it's not always easy to train. This breed need consistent and short training with a lot of positive methods like treats or praise. Avoid repetitive tasks, as this dog gets bored quickly.
The Thai Bangkaew Dog needs a confident and experienced owner who can earn the dog’s trust and respect. Socialization must start from a very young age.
