It is friendly and affectionate with all members of its family including children and gets along well with other dogs and pets in the family.

Its attentive and alert nature makes it an excellent watch dog and strong protective instincts with fearless approach means the dog will take on any potential threat and will counter the intruder bravely. Early training and socialization with people, children, dogs and places is very necessary as the dog is naturally wary of strangers. The Canis Panther is obedient and docile to its master and family. It is eager to please its master and will do anything it is asked to do. Being intelligent and obedient, the dog is very trainable and does not pose any problems for the owner. As with any other dog, the whole family should act as dog's true pack leader. The dogs have an order in the pack and the humans should be seen as the boss of the entire pack. Without proper leadership skills, the dog will become stubborn and willful and will try to behave as a pack leader.
