The temperament of the Border terrier pet dog may be quite surprising, if not outright shocking for
most people because of its size. For such a small dog, a Border terrier pet dog sure packs a lot of
energy.

instincts as a terrier would still urge it to run after anything smaller than it. This means that if you own
a cat or even a pet rabbit, you cannot have a Border terrier pet dog. This also means that you cannot
trust a Border terrier pet dog out of its leash. If it even sees something running, it will take off, leaving
you yelling uselessly. This, of course, can cause accidents to happen. In order to make sure that your
Border terrier pet dog does not get hit by a car, you need to keep that pet on a leash outside.
3) Escape – it is recommended by many experts that Border terrier pet dogs should be kept in a fenced-
in yard to let it have some roaming space while making sure that it is safe. However, you should know
that Border terrier pet dogs are clever escape artists. Even if a Border terrier pet dog is within a closed
in fence, you should try to keep an eye on it.

stop them if they are barking inappropriately.

and if you work during the day. An unsupervised Border terrier pet dog is sure to keep barking all day
long. This, of course, may draw complaints from your neighbors.

very quickly. This is because of their inherent curiosity and toughness. However, the same qualities that
make them prize-winners can also make them very stubborn when they want to. You have to be
consistent with your commands and show the Border terrier pet dog that you mean what you say. In
doing so, you will be training the Border terrier pet dog properly.
