Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier Training

Do you have a Soft Coated Wheaten 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.

Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers are happy, energetic dogs with a signature bouncy greeting. They're friendlier than many terrier breeds, with a playful, people-loving nature — but they still have that terrier spirit and stubborn streak.

Common Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier traits and training needs

  • The famous 'Wheaten greetin'' — explosive jumping and excitement when meeting people
  • High energy that lasts well past puppyhood and needs daily outlets
  • Terrier stubbornness — may decide training is optional when something more interesting appears
  • Can be reactive to other dogs, especially on lead
  • Pulls on lead with surprising strength for their size
  • Prone to jumping up, which is deeply ingrained and takes patience to manage

Wheaten owners know that the famous 'Wheaten greetin'' is adorable — until your dog launches themselves at every person you meet. If your Wheaten bounces off visitors, pulls you towards every dog and person, or decides that 'sit' only applies when they feel like it — that's the Wheaten spirit in full flight. Their joyful, people-loving nature makes training enjoyable, even if the jumping takes a while to address.

Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier (and others) Success Stories

"It was very helpful, information packed and enjoyable session!"

"Natalie has helped us with our rescue puppy Daisy, who was extremely anxious and scared of people and dogs, and acting out in other ways. We called Natalie when we were at the end of our tethers, after two months with Daisy, and after the first session we felt both empowered and reassured. Natalie's extensive notes after our session were also very helpful, to refer to as we were working through the recommendations. During her second visit, a month later, Natalie addressed specific issues that we are still having, and she also noted significant improvements in Daisy's confidence. It is wonderful to be supported by someone with such extensive knowledge and love for dogs. I highly recommend her services."
