answer · Tosa
One of the biggest myths about Tosas is that they are inherently aggressive. In reality, they are very calm and gentle as long as they are properly socialized from a young age. These dogs are quite intelligent and often misunderstood.
answer · Tosa
Yes, definitely. Just be ready for their needs.
answer · Tosa
I’m careful about letting strangers pet my Tosa Inu. They are very loyal and protective, which means they tend to be a bit suspicious of new people. I prefer to introduce him slowly to visitors. Once he’s comfortable, though, he’s a total sweetheart and loves attention. It’s all about ensuring he feels safe.
answer · Tosa
Yeah, mine can be very calm until something catches his interest.
question · Tosa
My trainer said confidence matters more than strict corrections with this breed. Do you agree?
answer · Tosa
Same here! My Tosa Inu gets the same reactions. People are always surprised at how friendly he is.
