Training needs to be a positive and enjoyable situation for both you and your Cairn Terrier. If you are not in the right mindset for training, do not even start. Always treat your Cairn Terrier for heeding your orders to the tee! A prize is anything that your Cairn Terrier wants and is willing to work for. Food is a great prize but different prizes could be verbalized admiration and playthings. Several shorter training sessions are much better than 1 long one. Training mustn’t involve any negative components or consequences. There should be no yelling, no hitting or smacking, no leash yanking on choke leashes or collars, and absolutely no electric shocking! Every single training session needs to be enjoyed and confidence-building with rewards for each job well done.
