How to Train your AUSTRALIAN TERRIER

Training Your Australian Terrier

The Australian Terrier is a plucky, confident, and highly spirited little dog. They are quick learners but possess a classic terrier stubbornness.

Key Training Tips:

• Consistent Boundaries: Despite their small size, they have big personalities. Do not let them get away with bad behavior just because they are cute.
• Positive Reinforcement: They respond exceptionally well to treats and praise. Keep training sessions feeling like a fun game rather than a chore.
• Socialization: Like many terriers, they can be bossy with other dogs. Early and frequent socialization is essential to prevent aggression.

They are excellent watchdogs and will alert you to any strangers; teach them when it is appropriate to stop barking.
