Tips for Training Terrier Dog Breeds 

From walks to fetch, give your terrier plenty of vigorous daily exercise to prevent restless mischief.

Energy   

Redirect nipping and other unwanted behaviors positively. Harsh corrections can backfire with these sensitive breeds. 

Bites  

Provide safe, durable chew toys to satisfy your terrier’s instincts for digging, chasing and carrying items.

Toys  

Terriers thrive learning entertaining tricks and commands that appeal to their playful smarts.

Tricks  

Use small training treats to reinforce behaviors. Monitor portions to prevent weight gain.  

Treats   

Motivate your terrier’s progress with happy verbal praise and belly rubs. They crave attention.  

Praise    

Allow extra time for housetraining young terriers. Consistency, not frustration, leads to the best results.

Patience
