Airedales have a cheerful nature— perfect for a family. Some Airedales can be protective of your youngsters at home, although these dogs’ large size may be too much for very young children.
As with all dogs, get children to know the proper way of touching dogs. Supervise every interaction between children and dogs to prevent incidents like biting or ear/tail-pulling. Tell children to never take away a dog’s food or approach when the dog is currently sleeping or eating. Refrain from leaving a child alone with any dog, regardless of how friendly the dog is.
Airedales, when provided with proper socialization, can be friendly around other dogs in the house. However, they may act aggressively towards dogs they do not know of, whom Airedales may think are threats. And with an Airedale’s natural “hunter” instinct, they may chase smaller animals such as cats, gerbils, rabbits, and hamsters, thinking they’re his prey.
