Terriers were originally hunting dogs. They excelled in catching burrowing animals. Now most of the representatives of this breed are decorative, "sofa" pets. And the fashionista's toy terrier was turned into a prestigious accessory.
Instructions
Step 1
Raising a puppy of any dog, including a terrier, begins with accustoming to a nickname. This can be done while feeding the baby. Put some food in a bowl and call the little terrier by name. He will certainly come running to the feet of the owner. Pat him on the head, place the bowl on the floor, and praise. The smartest kids remember their name already on the third day of training. And for some it takes up to two weeks.
Step 2
The next obligatory command for a puppy is "no" or "fu". If the baby chews on shoes or furniture, bites, chases other pets, this must be strictly suppressed. Take the puppy by the scruff of the neck, stop him, gently seat him on the floor. Say "fu" or "no" firmly. Take the item from the mouth. If the little terrier obeys, treat him with a treat. This procedure must be practiced to such an extent that the dog immediately stops any activity upon hearing these commands.
Step 3
It is imperative to teach a dog the command "to me" in the first months of its life. This skill will help you avoid unpleasant walking situations. Call the puppy by name, adding "to me." While doing this, pat your thigh with your hand. When the baby comes up, give him a tasty morsel. So he will very quickly understand the meaning of this command.
Step 4
Another essential skill is cleanliness. It is necessary to train the puppy to the toilet on the street after 2, 5 months, when all vaccinations are done. First, the baby will have to be taken out into the yard often - 5-6 times a day. This should be done immediately after eating and sleeping. When the dog does its job, be sure to praise it. Carry a treat with you and treat your puppy. By about 3-3, 5 months, the small terrier will only relieve itself on the street. Unless it leaves a couple of puddles on the floor at night. But by 6 months, all dogs should stop getting dirty in the house.
Step 5
Commands "lie down", "sit", "fetch" and other decorative dogs are taught at will. The most important thing is to teach your puppy "courtesy". He should not bark loudly just like that, throw himself at people and other animals, ruin things.
