An intelligent and quick breed, the Bedlington Terrier can be trained to respond to a multitude of commands and tricks—but it doesn’t hurt to have a treat on hand!

Training begins the minute your Bedlington Terrier puppy steps through the doorway of your home, so don’t make the mistake of putting the puppy on the floor and telling him by your actions to “Go for it! Run wild!” Even if this is your first puppy, you must act as if you know what you’re doing: be the boss. An uncertain pup may be terrified to move, while a bold one will be ready to take you at your word and start plotting to destroy the house! Before you collected your puppy, you decided where his own special place would be, and that’s where to put him when you first arrive home. Give him a house tour after he has investigated his area and had a nap and a bathroom “pit stop.”

It’s worth mentioning here that if you’ve adopted an adult dog that is completely trained to your liking, lucky you! You’re off the hook! However, if that dog spent his life up to this point in a kennel, or even in a good home but without any real training, be prepared to tackle the job ahead. A dog three years of age or older with no previous training cannot be blamed for not knowing what he was never taught. While the dog is trying to understand and learn your rules, at the same time he has to unlearn many of his previously self-taught habits and general view of the world.

OUR CANINE KIDS

“Everything I learned about parenting, I learned from my dog.” How often adults recognize that their parenting skills are mere extensions of the education they acquired while caring for their dogs. Many owners refer to their dogs as their “kids” and treat their canine companions like real members of the family. Surveys indicate that a majority of dog owners talk to their dogs regularly, celebrate their dogs’ birthdays and purchase Christmas gifts for their dogs. Another survey shows that dog owners take their dogs to the veterinarian more frequently than they visit their own physicians.
