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.

"This is the second dog we have trained through Nat. Her calmness and her attention to detail is what we love. She is extremely patient with us which can be a huge help when we feel like we are failing. Our dogs are happier and there was no punishing or upsetting with any of our dogs so they still love us and there is no fear just respect and love. We appreciate Nat and her commitment beyond words and we have and will continue to recommend her to any and all who listen."
