Rhodesian Ridgebacks are loyal and intelligent and somewhat aloof to strangers. This is not to
be confused with aggression; a Ridgeback of proper temperament will be more inclined to ignore,
rather than challenge, a stranger. This breed requires positive, reward-based training, good
socialization and consistency; it is often not the best choice for inexperienced dog owners.
Ridgebacks are strong-willed, intelligent, and many seem to have a penchant for mischief,
though loving. They are protective of their owners and families. If trained well, they can be
excellent guard dogs.

Despite their athletic, sometimes imposing, exterior, the Ridgeback has a sensitive side.
Excessively harsh training methods, that might be tolerated by a sporting or working dog, will
likely backfire on a Ridgeback. The Ridgeback accepts correction as long as it is fair and
justified[citation needed], and as long as it comes from someone he knows and trusts. Francis R.
Barnes, who wrote the first standard in 1922, acknowledged that "rough treatment ... should
never be administered to these dogs, especially when they are young. They go to pieces with
handling of that kind."
