Border Terrier

Impatient and very eager to please the owner, the Border Terrier requires early socialization to prevent shyness, as well as an early course of general obedience. If you use overly strict or arbitrary methods in training, you can simply break the dog and only complicate the learning process. Lessons should be based on encouragement, motivation, praise, timely reward, respect for the dog, patience, and consistency. The Border Terrier displays particular talents in areas such as tracking, responsiveness, various competitions and, of course, hunting. Weight: 5 - 7 kg. Height at withers: 25 - 28 cm. Life expectancy: 12 - 15 years.
