Fox Terriers are fantastic dogs, but are not for everyone. Wire fox terriers make good family dogs because wire fox terriers get along really well with children. However, wire fox terriers, especially wire fox terrier puppies, have an awful lot of energy and need energetic owners to walk them regularly. They also need to have a fair bit of space to run around in your garden or a nearby park. Wire fox terriers especially like barking, digging and running. Be careful when walking your wire fox terrier to keep an eye on them because wire fox terriers have a tendency to pick up anything they find on the ground and eat it. Wire fox terriers especially like chasing and killing small animals. They also enjoy shaking around small animals and playing with them after they’re dead,. You need to watch your wire fox terrier to go out to make sure they don’t pick up any dead animals. My wire fox terrier recently found a dead squirrel when we were out for a walk and I didn’t notice it in her mouth until we got home. It’s no surprise that wire hair fox terriers like running and playing with dead animals because wire haired fox terriers were originally hunting dogs. Though fox terriers are supposed to be fearless, I find that my wire fox terrier is terrified of almost everything. My wire fox terrier is afraid of brooms, plastic bags, ants, and mirrors, among other things.

It’s important when you get a fox terrier puppy that you train it properly because they can be a real pain if you don’t. I’ve had a very hard time teaching my fox terrier not to bark and not to run into the road. As soon as my fox terrier sees an open door, she runs out of the house into traffic. I have been trying to train my wire fox terrier not to do this by putting an invisible fence across the doorways in my home. If my fox terrier approaches the door she hears a warning alarm, and if she doesn’t heed the alarm, she gets a small shock. This sounds like an awfully cruel way to train a fox terrier but it’s less horrible than it sounds. The shock that my fox terrier receives feels like a static shock you get from dragging your feet on a carpet in winter. Most fox terriers are very fast learners anyway and realize quickly that the alarm sound means back away from the door. If you go about it the right way, you can teach your wire fox terrier a lot of tricks. They are very intelligent and alert dogs and they learn things quickly. It took less than an hour for me to teach my wire-haired fox terrier to ring a bell when she wants to be let outside. However, the only way to make them remember their training is to practice regularly. My fox terrier has taken advantage of the bell and rings it every time I stop paying attention to her.
