Information on Training Your Airedale Terrier Dog or Puppy

The Airedale Terrier breed has a very unique temperament and, in fact, the dog's personality plays an important part in making the ideal Airedale. While gamey and courageous enough to qualify as a terrier breed, the Airedale is recognized for his patience and unconditional loyalty - in fact, the Airedale is one of the most popular dogs to have stayed in the White House. Even John Wayne owned one of these magnificent dogs!

It was the combination of the Airedale's unflinching desire to defend his master, combined with a wary aloofness from strangers that made him a highly desirable police dog in Europe and the United States. Additionally, his determination and uncanny ability to ignore injuries made him popular during times of war, where he helped with guarding and patrol, as well as delivering messages. From nose to tail, the Airedale is a very noble and brave breed, capable of great courage and yet gentle enough to be a loving companion and family pet.

The Airedale Terrier is a very intelligent and enthusiastic pupil who delights in learning new tricks and receiving praise for whatever he retains. They particularly excel in agility matches, where their natural athletic ability combines with their keen intelligence to make for a strong competitor. Additionally, they are also skilled hunting dogs who do well in field trials or obedience courses.

When training your Airedale, one of the most important things to do is to keep it upbeat, fun and positive. The Airedale Terrier loves praise and responds well to treats and shows of love and kindness. A strong hand or stern voice can often be met with stubbornness, typical of other intelligent breeds.
