Training an Airedale Terrier?

Here are some tips you can use to keep your Airedale Terrier pet dog well-behaved:


You have to start training your Airedale Terrier dog at as young an age as possible. Its a fact that the earlier an Airedale Terrier begins to learn a trick, that the easier it is for them to learn. This doesn’t just apply to tricks. It also applies to general behavior. When your Airedale Terrier pet dog is still just a puppy, you need to start training it. This way, the behavioral training that you give it will be ingrained into your pet dog’s brain. This way, proper behavior becomes almost instinctive to your Airedale Terrier.

Various training methods are made available for you by various experts. However, there’s one thing you should know: they only work with proper use. Some people make will use the leash or the crate to abuse their animals. What you need to know is that each method of training can only be effective if used in a way that will not harm the dog. You need to be firm but gentle with your terrier when you are trying to train it.

When used properly and safely your terrier will have an advantage to becoming a well-behaved dog.

Before taking your Airedale Terrier pet dog outside, try to observe its behavior inside. This will give you a clue as to how your dog will act outside the house. Many people say that a dog’s behavior inside a house is very different from the way the same dog will act outside the home. This is not true. By observing the inside behavior of your Airedale Terrier pet dog, you will realize how it will respond to you outside of your home.

If your Airedale terrier does not listen to your commands inside the house, how can you expect it to listen to your commands outside the house? There are things a lot more interesting to a dog than your commands, like smells, squirrels, cats, etc.

Training an Airedale Terrier pet dog can understandably be very frustrating. However, you should not lose your temper. Negative actions such as hitting or shouting at your dog will not accomplish anything positive. Sometimes, we have a tendency to take out our frustrations on helpless pets. Do not blame your problems on the dog. If you know that you are having a bad day, do not even think about training your dog. All that you might get from the ordeal is a bad case of hyperacidity. Your dog will learn nothing and that would only increase your frustration.

Timing is always important. You need to make corrections regarding your Airedale terrier’s behavior while those corrections are still relevant. If you praise or correct with the wrong timing, you will only end up confusing the dog. Actually, the best timing is to correct the dog before he or she even starts to misbehave; ie at first hint of trouble.

I hope these tips will help owners of Airedale Terriers or those who are contemplating getting one. These tips can also relate to other terrier breeds that may not be listed on this blog.
