Education
| Clever | |
|---|---|
| Obedient |
For this kind of active dog and not particularly docile , it is advisable to apply a firm education and a thorough socialization . However, it is not a question of establishing a balance of power, but rather of showing the dog the limits not to cross and preventing him from contesting your status as a master. Well educated and socialized, the Airedale Terrier becomes a pleasant companion, both on the hunt and at home.
Living conditions
| Suitable for apartment living | |
|---|---|
| Good for new masters | |
| Love it hot | |
| Love the cold |
The Airedale Terrier is basically a country dog , but it can just as well cope with apartment living if it takes full advantage of its outings and exercises. It would suit an active, athletic, available person who knows how to educate him adequately to channel his ardor and reduce his dominant character. Otherwise, he would risk always trying to gain the upper hand and be belligerent towards his fellows, especially those of the same sex.
