How To Train An Airedale Terrier

Tips on Training Your Airedale Terrier

An Airedale Terrier dog is going to cost from $500 – $1000 with the low end being around $ 850. First-year expenses for a first-year pup are around $4, 115 and will be around $1,985 / year (or just under $1k / month). These dogs are very high maintenance and many people will consider adopting an Airedale instead of a purebred. The cost can be as much as three times that! Here are some things to look for when deciding to adopt.

-The cost of the food.

If the plan is to adopt an Airedale then you should look at the cost of food versus the cost of having to take it to the vet. The latter is almost always double and in some cases triple the food cost. So look at how much you can save by using human food for your puppy’s meals instead.

-The cost of the grooming.

An Airedale will need a lot of extra attention every year because of its long thin coat. A regular brush will make this easier on you by making it easier for you to brush longer, increasing the luster of the coat, and even adding a little more shine to it. It’s actually recommended that you groom your adult dog every year or so.

-The cost of toys.

This is one area where most people will overlook this cost and end up buying a way overpriced toy. While most of us love our puppies, it does not mean that we can resist them. And if your puppy has more than you can afford to spend on toys you’ll likely get a better deal when you do buy them toys than you would have gotten if you’d chosen the average price. And remember that toys are easily discarded or damaged so this cost is often a lot higher than people think.

-Vet bills.

The expenses related to owning breeding dogs are high and can quickly add up. If you choose to buy from a breeder, they may actually be able to help cover these expenses since a portion of their profit goes into paying for health care for the dogs. Many times breeders are also very generous with helping treat specific medical conditions which can cause suffering if left untreated in a puppy. Be sure to ask how many of the dogs in the litter suffer from specific conditions before you buy.

-Food.

Depending on where you buy your dog from, it may not come from an approved breeder. Some places specialize in only breeding dogs, while others offer all-breed feeding programs depending on where the puppies come from. Ask the breeder if the food they supply is organic or how much of it is.

-Clothing.

Different breeds of dogs come in different colors and each breed has specific requirements for their clothing. An Airedale should never be dressed in anything that is reflective or has any bright colors on it because this can lead to eye problems. Also, the dogs have extremely sensitive skin and it can easily end up cracking under the weight of the clothing.

The Airedale Terrier does require some special care to be a happy and healthy dog owner.

Being prepared and knowing how to train an Airedale terrier can save you a lot of headaches in the future. If you are looking to adopt one, take time to research the breed and ask questions before you make a decision. You should also consider taking your dog to the veterinarian for heartworm prevention as well as flea prevention. These two factors go hand in hand with owning any kind of dog and are very important for the health and long life of the dog.
