Cairn Terrier
Cairn Terrier Training
Cute, but with a stubborn streak, puppy Cairn Terriers are known to tests the boundaries with their owners. This means that early socialization and puppy training classes are strongly recommended. Start with the basics, like sit stay, come and potty. Once those are mastered, you can work on more complicated feats like agility. It’s also important to target bad behaviour, like chewing, biting or sleeping on the bed, right off the bat. Praising good habits will go a long way.
Selecting a Cairn Terrier Puppy
Cairn Terrier Puppy Ears
Cairn Terriers ears are small, erect and pointed. Check for debris and excessive amounts of wax. Healthy puppies will have clean ears with no signs of discharge, redness, inflammation or pungent odour. If the puppy is aggressively scratching or pawing their ear, tilting their head or excessively flipping their head, it may also be a sign of discomfort. Breeds with floppy ears are more prone to infection or disease.
