My Dog Training Secrets 

Airedale terriers are the largest breed in the terrier family. They have a bristly, wiry top coat that is tan with black or dark grey markings and a soft undercoat. Their long, flat heads are somewhat narrow with small, dark eyes and V-shaped hears that fold forward. They have a highly-set erect tail. Airedale Terriers have busy eyebrows as well as beards and mustaches that make them unique in their appearance. Male dogs average in weight around 50-60 pounds (18-23 kg) and in height around 23-24 inches (58-61-cm) tall. This hardy breed can live outdoors in temperate climates, but is much happier indoors with its family.

Airedale Terriers need more care and attention than is given to it by the average family or dog owner. It is not enough that you love your dog, you also need to be prepared to look after its various needs and this isn’t always the easiest of things when you have an Airedale Terrier. Many Airedales are dominant or aggressive toward other dogs of the same sex. Airedale Terriers tend to tolerate other household pets and strangers, although they are known to be dominating towards other dogs. Airedale obedience training is essential and they need to be handled in a firm manner to avoid stubborn behaviors and to curb their keen hunting instincts.

Airedale Terriers are fun-loving and playful when they are puppies. Airedales will be happy to please you, if there is nothing more pressing in the environment (chipmunk, other dog, food). Airedale Terriers have excelled in being a hunter for foxes, badgers, weasels, otters, water rats and ducks. The Airedale Terrier makes a good jogging partner because of their athletic physique. Airedale Terriers were selected for duty as police dogs because of intelligence, good scenting abilities and their hard, wiry coats that were easy to maintain from mud and grime.

Airedale Terriers that don't have enough challenge mentally and physically in their lives have a tendency to become destructive. This is often displayed by chewing, digging and barking, including tearing things apart inside the house and even outside in the yard. Airedale Terrier dog training should contain a lot of variation, because this clever dog normally learns new tricks very fast and hates endless repetitions.

Airedale terriers require both daily physical and mental exercise. Airedale Terrier has strong temperament and independent personalities. They will get on well with children if you take the time to make socialization pretty early since they can get a bit aggressive or inpatient towards children or any other animals.

Airedale Terriers require a surprising amount of grooming given their hard, short-haired coat. Theirs is a double coat, often requiring plucking twice a year. Airedales need to have their beards washed regularly, usually weekly, to remove food and dirt buildup.

A rowdy breed, the Airedale Terrier should start obedience training at a young age to avoid dominance issues, but once trained the Airedale can be a welcomed member of the family.
