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

"We love Natalie. She has this special talent to make dogs feel at ease, and explain behaviours to us humans that make sense. She uses practical suggestions that have helped us manage a now multi-dog household better. We have a bit more training to do but her follow up notes will safely guide us. We highly recommend Natalie and Crazy Kind Calm."

"We’ve had Natalie come and help get our young red heeler off to the right start after adopting her. Natalie has been amazing helping us to understand and train the most important skills, including impulse control around chickens, sheep and kangaroos, and outlets for our dog’s herding instinct through play. Natalie uses positive reinforcement to motivate and teach the right behaviours and has a deep understanding of the needs of different dog breeds. We also did her puppy school classes and recommend her as an excellent and practical trainer!"

"Nat was fabulous with our anxious rescue border collie. We learnt a lot and our training notes have given us recommendations for us to work on in between visits. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nat!"
