How to Train your NORFOLK TERRIER

Training Your Norfolk Terrier

The Norfolk Terrier is a hardy, highly energetic, and fiercely brave little dog. They are pack-oriented and generally easier to train than other terriers.

Key Training Tips:

• Positive Reinforcement: They are sensitive and eager to please. Use treats and enthusiastic praise to shape their behavior; harshness will cause them to shut down.
• Manage the Digging: Like all terriers, they love to dig. Provide a designated sandbox where they are allowed to dig safely.
• Prey Drive: They are relentless hunters. Leash training is mandatory, as they will ignore all commands if they spot a squirrel.

They are deeply affectionate, highly social companions that thrive when included in all family activities.
