Sensitive and responsive, he can be obedience trained at a high level. airedale terriers are fun-loving and playful when they are puppies. Airedales will be happy to please you if there is nothing more pressing in the environment (chipmunk, other dog, food).

An airedale terrier is extremely loyal, but as an avid hunter you would have to be an ace trainer to get him to come away from a chipmunk even for raw steak! They are naturally lively and can be very rowdy if they do not receive enough daily mental and physical exercise. Train this dog not to jump on humans. The airedale terrier needs proper obedience training and an owner who knows how to be "Top Dog"

airedale terriers may have dominance challenges toward family members he sees as submissive. This can lead to willfulness and disobedience. They are not difficult to train, but they do not respond to harsh, overbearing training methods. The airedale terrier is intelligent enough to perceive quickly what is required of it, but if you ask it to do the same thing over and over again it may refuse. Try to give your airedale terriers some variety to its training, making the exercise a challenge. They need a calm, but firm, confident and consistent handler.
