How to Train your IRISH SOFT COATED WHEATEN TERRIER

Training Your Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier

The Wheaten Terrier is a joyful, highly energetic, and profoundly affectionate dog known for the famous "Wheaten Greetin’" (jumping to kiss faces).

Key Training Tips:

• Manage the Jumping: Their enthusiasm is boundless. You must strictly teach a "sit to greet" command early to prevent them from knocking people over.
• Positive Motivation: They are highly sensitive and do not respond to harshness. Keep training sessions upbeat, fun, and heavily rewarded with treats.
• Prey Drive: They are highly driven to chase. A reliable recall command is vital, though they should rarely be off-leash outdoors.

They are brilliant, highly entertaining companions that excel in agility and obedience when their energy needs are met.
