Temperament
The Tosa is loyal, sensitive to the tone of one’s voice, paying close attention to commands. This is not a noisy breed. The Tosa was once used for dog fighting and was bred to fight quietly as Japanese dog fighting rules called for silence. This natural guard dog is protective, courageous and fearless. It needs an owner who knows how to display leadership at all times. Socialized this dog well starting at puppyhood. Aggression and attacks on people are due to poor handling and training. Problems arise when an owner allows the dog to believe he is pack leader over humans and/or does not give the dog the mental and physical daily exercise it needs to be stable. This breed needs owners who are naturally authoritative over the dog in a calm, but firm, confident and consistent way. A stable, well-adjusted and trained dog is for the most part generally good with other pets and excellent with children in the family. It must be firmly trained in obedience from an early age. This is not a breed for first-time dog owners. A well-balanced Tosa that knows his place in the pack will not snap or bite. Early proper manners and training is a must with this breed; teach the dog to heel on the lead and go in and out doorways after the humans. The Tosa is great with children in the family. Docile and affectionate with the owner. It is protective yet gentle. The Tosa has a very stable temperament. It makes an excellent guard dog. Its deep bark and massive size is enough to keep out intruders. Can be reserved with strangers, however a well-balanced Tosa will accept newcomers if properly introduced. These dogs need a strong, firm, consistent, confident pack leader who can keep them in their rightful place, below all humans in the alpha order. It is a natural instinct for a dog to have an order in its pack. When we humans live with dogs, we become their pack. The entire pack cooperates under a single leader. Lines are clearly defined and rules are set. You and all other humans MUST be higher up in the order than the dog. That is the only way your relationship can be a complete success. Tosas that are allowed to take over may be dog aggressive. Keep the Tosa away from other dogs that may want to fight, because the Tosa will most certainly win. They have a very high pain tolerance due to their fighting origins.
