Skye Terriers are notably bold dogs that can display aggressive behaviors toward other dogs and may extend this aggression to situations involving children. They require substantial amounts of attention and may develop problematic behaviors if they feel neglected or if their needs are not consistently met. Their strong prey drive makes them less suitable for homes with young children who move quickly and unpredictably. These dogs need experienced owners who can provide firm leadership and consistent training throughout their lives. Their territorial nature and tendency toward resource guarding can create dangerous situations when children approach their food, toys, or favorite resting spots.
