The wonderful Irish Terriers bark to let their people know when there’s something new. However, some Irish Terriers may excessively bark when you fail to control their barking behavior from day one. You may thank your dog for alerting you and distract them with a game/command to train them to control their barking tendencies.
These people-oriented dogs need early socialization to help them grow up to be wonderful companions for the family. Irish Terriers do best in households where there’s always someone to keep them company. They are not too active indoors and will surely be content to chill out with their owners. Nevertheless, exercise (such as walks and romps in well-fenced areas) is necessary.
As excellent hunters, Irish Terriers tend to hunt and kill vermin. Thus, a leash and a well-fenced yard are essential to keep your dog safe. They tend to chase anything that moves and pay no attention to where he’s going.
Any concerns you may have about your pet’s health and/or behavior should be brought to the attention of your veterinarian Lexington, KY. Schedule an appointment today.
