Training Advice

[Shadrack]

I've no experience with terriers but I have heard they are smart and challenging to train. Jake has many problems so I am always bossing him around. In the middle of doing washing sorting I'll just tell him to roll over, give him a treat and keep going. It helps tell them all the time there is the pissibilty of training so keep an eye on the great treat dispenser.

I Woukd definitely try getting a trainer, if you say where you are people will recommend a good one. Brenda Aloff has a good training guide and I think one of her dogs was a terrier. What I liked about her book was it is very structured and you can follow it week by week, once you've got through one set of skills you move on to the next. She's all about focus and it's a very practical book.

they are challenging at times, but i just love the terriers, its the only dogs ive ever owned haha, theyre so entertaining and full of life :D and these two are kind of nice, my first jackie was very dog aggressive, to the point he'd do serious damage. so i had to constantly be on watch for other dogs, and could never let him around them, as well as wearing a muzzle whenever he was out of the house, so these two i have now are awesome, i only have to worry about other peoples dogs now haha.

i do radomly get the dogs to do things, mostly sit though.

Thanks i'll look into that book, see if i can find it in the bookstore :D
