Are west highland terriers easy to train?

Answer 1

Terriers are stubborn dogs so they need a person who understands their personality. I have always had Scotties and have learned that you deal with a terrier in ways that are different from other dogs. A terrier won't do something just because you want him/her to they have to want to do it. They are smart dogs and very independent so they are not easy to train. I saw an experienced trainer defeated by my Scotty because he wasn't going to do what she wanted.

Answer 2

They are quick to learn and easy to train and are eager to please a trainer.

Answer 3

Sometimes if the dog is willing to be trained (Sometimes dogs can be very energetic) but i taught my dog how to sit and she's 8 almost 9 so i guess you can teach an airedale terrier tricks.

Answer 4

They are very intelligent and independent, and oh so cute!
