How to Train your BORDER TERRIER

Training Your Border Terrier

The Border Terrier is a tough, no-nonsense working dog bred to hunt foxes. They are highly intelligent, eager to please, and very trainable.

Key Training Tips:

• Escape Artists: They are notorious for escaping yards by digging or squeezing through tiny gaps. Ensure your yard is completely secure and teach boundaries.
• Recall Training: Their instinct to chase is profound. Practice recall continuously, though they should still be kept leashed near traffic.
• Food Motivation: They are highly food-driven, which makes teaching new commands very easy when utilizing high-value treats.

Border Terriers are generally more amiable with other dogs than most terriers, provided they are socialized early.
