Airedale Terrier Training

Do you have a Airedale Terrier that needs some training help? Natalie from Crazy Kind Calm dog training can help!

With over 900 dogs trained across the Macedon Ranges, Natalie understands the unique personality and needs that come with this wonderful breed.

Airedale Terriers are the largest of the terrier breeds — confident, energetic dogs with a strong independent streak. Known as the "King of Terriers," they're intelligent and versatile but have a stubborn side that demands patience and consistency.

Common Airedale Terrier traits and training needs

  • Terrier stubbornness in a large, powerful body — needs firm but fair boundaries
  • Can be reactive towards other dogs, especially same-sex dogs
  • Strong prey drive — will chase small animals, possums, and birds
  • Independent thinkers who may decide your instructions are merely suggestions
  • Can become destructive when bored — digging and chewing are common outlets
  • Prone to alert barking and may become territorial without proper socialisation

Airedale owners know they have a dog with opinions — lots of them. The Airedale's independent streak means they'll assess every request before deciding whether to comply. If yours is digging craters in the garden, selectively ignoring recall, or deciding that other dogs are simply beneath them, welcome to life with the King of Terriers. Their intelligence is impressive, and when properly motivated, they're capable of great things.

Airedale Terrier (and others) Success Stories

Teddy
Airedale Terrier • Macedon
★★★★★ Google
"We have been using Crazy Kind Calm training for just under two months now and the difference in our 6yo Airedale Teddy has been absolutely amazing. We were having all sorts of problems with Teddy being overly excitable with people and aggressive towards other dogs when out for a walk. Natalie has taught us a whole range of techniques to help manage Teddy's behaviours and reduce her stress levels. Teddy is so much calmer and happier these days and we are continuing to work on her excitement levels. We highly recommend Crazy Kind Calm!"

"We were close to the end of our tether when we contacted Natalie to see if she could assist with our young, antisocial JR terrier. Natalie has helped us to better understand the behaviours and motivations of our pups, and how to navigate and manage situations that cause angst for both pups and humans alike. Natalie has worked with us on manageable training tasks to improve behaviours in a range of real-life situations. Our relationships with our pups, and quality of life for all of us, are now much improved. I highly recommend Natalie's approach and philosophy - it's made a positive difference for us."
