Training has to be a positive and enjoyable situation for both you and your Bedlington Terrier. If you are not in the best mindset for training, don’t even start. Always commend the Bedlington Terrier for heeding your orders expeditiously! A reward is anything that your Bedlington Terrier desires and is happy to earn. Edible treats are the usual reward but other prizes could be verbal commendation and toys. Multiple shorter sessions are much more effective than 1 long one.

Each training session should be enjoyable and confidence-building with prizes for each job well done.
