Norfolk Terriers are easy to take care of and do well in apartments due to their small size. They love to bark, though. At least 20-30 minutes of vigorous outdoor walks/playtime every day (or 10-15 minutes twice a day). These intelligent pups love to learn, but their natural independence and stubbornness mean challenging training sessions. Consistent and positive training goes a long way in getting them to obey you.
It's necessary to teach them to come when they're called-- in case they accidentally come unleashed. Yelling or using physical force should be avoided; else, these sensitive dogs will become agitated/fearful. As terriers, they bark. Although they're not too noisy, it's best to teach them the "quiet" command. As with most earth dogs, Norfolk Terriers also love to dig, which may not be as easy to reduce as their barking behavior.
