Are Norwich Terriers good for all family members?

Ann | November 10th, 2009

The Norwich Terrier can be a good recommendation for most families that may not have big spaces to accommodate a Great Dane or an Irish Wolfhound nor the strength and endurance to keep them when they pounce or lay on their laps.

The Norwich Terrier is one lovable breed that is so energetic that they can make good playmates for the children and will also be as playful to other pets that it has been properly socialized with. The ability that this breed has that many owners love them for is demonstrating different emotions as persnickety as one of many. It is like having another family member in the household!  These dogs shouldn’t be kept in kennels during the evenings or leased to a doghouse outside for they crave to be in contact with their human family members and love them too much.

Avoid unnecessary vet bills! Do your dog’s basic health check!

How to train a Norwich Terrier to come?

Ann | October 23rd, 2009

It seems it is common knowledge that the way to command a dog’s obedience is to fill its stomach with yummy snacks. However, for some breeds, it is not the case. Take the Norwich Terrier for example. For it to follow the simple command of “COME”, an owner has two things working for him: the breed’s enjoyment of being trained and its hunting instinct.

Norwich Terriers love obedience training and are very sociable. Since they were designed to hunt vermin or foxes, owners can fashion an old piece of leather that will resemble the prey and attach a string to it, creating a lure.

Have the terrier stay still and make some distance. When owners are ready, they will give the command “COME” and pull on the lure, triggering their natural hunting instinct it will come. Capturing the lure is already a reward that is satisfaction for the breed. But of course, owners may have to train the dog to sit or stay still first.

Dogs have become such an important part of our society, that the need for them to fit in well with other human beings and not pose a threat or a disturbance is critical to their long term acceptance by our neighbors and others around us. Not all people are dog lovers and to make sure that they’re not inconvenienced by our pets, training is essential.

Also, dog training is an integral part of a working dog’s life for them to be able to assist humans in activities like hunting and police work. Training dogs is a specialized skill since the key difficulty lies in how to communicate efficiently with them.

All training of dogs is a repetition of the basic principle of reward and punishment in various forms and combinations. Communication of these signals is the key to proper training. One very important thing to remember is consistency of signals. The reliability of the training depends on how well a dog is able to be sure of what your signals mean.

It must also be mentioned that different dog breeds take to training differently. Another important factor is the emotional state of the dog. A dog that is frightened, anxious, or insecure doesn’t train well and this reflects the importance of factors like proper socialization of puppies.

A lot of studies have shown that proper puppy socialization goes a long way towards ensuring a good temperament and receptivity towards training. Lots of handling, petting and generally being around humans in their everyday life goes a long way towards making a dog well behaved and easy to train.

Training Norwich Terrier puppies should not begin too early however, as there is evidence to show that before a certain age, the brains of puppies are not significantly developed enough to process complex learning.

Professional dog trainers are best when it comes to training your Norwich Terrier as they will ensure that the proper habits are set for life, including how to behave around strangers. For the safety of your Norwich Terrier, it is your duty as an owner to ensure that he or she is well trained.

Poem About a Norwich Terrier…

D Dog Fan | April 7th, 2008

MY HEART BELONGS TO A NORWICH TERRIER

A Norwich Terrier
Shares my life,
A lively little breed-
Shaggy and adoring,
A devoted soul indeed.

Affectionate and funny,
With such endearing ways-
My little Norwich Terrier
Puts sunshine in my days.

Sitting quietly on my lap,
Or sharing fun outside-
I can’t imagine life without
My Norwich by my side.

Temperament vs. Training!

D Dog Fan | March 19th, 2008

Albeit its small size, the Norwich Terrier has inherited the feisty character of the Terriers! These little dogs have definite minds of their own…something that stems from their assertiveness..which in turn stems from the Terrier genes. They are also sensitive to scolding and don’t take well to reprimands. So training them with a strong emphasis on a hard tone of voice will not get the desired results. Norwich Terriers are quick learners, however,and thus with a little persistence and love as well as consistency in regular training, you should sculp a loving and obedient dog out of this small breed. As with the normal Terrier attitude, stubbornness can be a problem so have patience and perseverance with them.

The Norwich Terrier’s Temperament…

D Dog Fan | January 18th, 2008

This small but feisty dog breed is courageous, very intelligent and extremely affectionate. Their assertiveness is a character trademark but it is not typical for them to be aggressive or shy. They are full of energy and love to lead an active life. Although they are happy and eager to please, they have definite minds of their own…something that stems from their assertiveness. They are also sensitive to scolding and don’t take well to reprimands. Their love for companionship means that this little dog should never be kept outside or in a kennel. They want to share the warmth of home and heart together!Norwich Terriers are not barkers in general, but they will warn of a stranger approaching with feisty grunts and small barks! Norwich are good with children and love to play. If introduced early on- as puppies- to other household pets, which are of the rodent varity, the two can co-habit. However, owners should be cautious, since this dog was origianlly bred to hunt rodents and the hunting instinct is still very much alive in them. They may mistake other household pets as prey. Otherwise, the Norwich is a very lovable little dog breed!
