Provide a secure living space. Wolfdogs are excellent escape artists--they can jump over, dig under and break through most fences. Be prepared to have a secure fence or enclosed kennel in your backyard. Chaining your wolfdog isn't a good means of keeping him contained as longs periods of being tied up can cause aggression.
Study wolf behavior. Ensure that you thoroughly understand how to establish yourself as alpha dog in your pack. Understand that being able to care for your wolfdog will be easier if he views you as the alpha dog.
Understand that wolfdogs require plenty of attention. If you can't devote several hours a day to your wolfdog, then you shouldn't own one. A lonely wolfdog can develop serious behavior problems, including becoming aggressive.
Supervise the interaction between your wolfdog and small pets. Wolfdogs have a high prey drive and have the potential to cause harm to small animals.
Spay or neuter your wolfdog. Many owners report behavioral changes at the onset of sexual maturity. Spaying and neutering can help to ease hormonal behavioral changes.
Train your wolfdog. A dog that is well trained is a happier dog. If your wolfdog is well behaved you will encounter fewer problems with your neighbors and possibly avoid legal problems.
