Airedale Terriers are extremely intelligent dogs and are very fast learners when it comes to picking up the things taught to them by there owners. A problem that many Airedale Terrier owners face in training, is that Airedale Terriers are very playful and would prefer to entertain their owners rather than train. These dogs make great pets because they are very loving of their owners and make great protectors. Airedale Terriers are very receptive to training, and are capable of carrying out the same tasks as a police dog.
During the training of your Airedale Terrier, its important to be consistent and firm with them, without being to rough with them. Airedale Terriers just like any other dog, respond much better to praise for good deeds instead of being punished abusively for misbehaving. This is especially true among Airedale Terriers because they are big enough to not only handle the pain, but can also retaliate, even though Airedale Terriers are very friendly.
When training your Airedale Terrier to take walks properly, be sure to keep them on a tight leash as Airedale Terriers are very forward dogs and will take any opportunity to socialize with other dogs. In cases where your Airedale Terrier is confronted by an aggressive dog, chances are slim that your Airedale Terrier will back down from a fight due to their protectiveness and boldness. This is why its absolutely vital you use a standard leash and not a retractable leash. Between its love of interaction and its large size, if your Airedale Terrier is tempted to interact with another dog, you’re going to have a very difficult time taming them.
Train your Airedale Terrier early. If you fail to establish appropriate behavioral patterns while your Airedale Terrier is young, your dog can easily become both mentally and physically weak. Airedale Terriers make beautiful, wonderful, receptive pets, so make sure you don’t let that all go to waste due to poor training practices.
