Keeping Your Airedale Terrier Well-behaved: Winning Tips
Five tips you can use to keep your Airedale terrier well-behaved.
1) Can’t teach an old dog – You have to start training your Airedale terrier dog as early as possible. This way, the behavioral training that you give it will be ingrained into the Airedale terrier pet dog’s brain. Proper behavior will become almost instinctive.
2) Use, don’t abuse – Various training methods are open to you. However, there’s one thing you must remember: they only work with proper use. Some people make use of the leash or of the crate to punish their pet. Any method of training can only be effective if used in a way that will not harm the dog. You must be firm but gentle with your dog when you are trying to train it.
3) Habit inside, habit outside – Before taking your Airedale terrier dog outside, try to observe its behavior indoors. This will give you a clue as to how the Airedale terrier pet dog will act outside the house. Many people say that a dog’s behavior inside a house is very different from the way that the same dog will act in outside environments. 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.
If your Airedale terrier does not obey to your commands inside the house, how can you expect it to listen to your commands outside the house where there are things a lot more interesting to a dog than your commands?
4) Keep your temper – Training a dog can understandably be very frustrating. 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. Your dog will learn nothing and that would only increase your frustration.
5) Timing – Timing is always important. You need to make corrections regarding your Airedale terrier dog’s behavior while those corrections are still relevant. If you praise or correct with the wrong timing, you would only end up confusing the dog. Actually, the best timing you can use is to correct the Airedale terrier dog before he or she even starts to misbehave.
