Lakeland Terrier Care

Lakeland Terriers thrive best when they live inside with their people— outdoor living is not for them. As small dogs, they can do well in apartments, provided that you train them to avoid barking at any noise they hear. They also tend to be active inside the house and may thrive well even if you don't have a yard. Nonetheless, be sure to keep up with their 20- to 30-minute-long outdoor walks 1-2 times a day.

 

But if you have a yard, be sure that your fence is secure enough to keep these excellent diggers and escapers contained. Don't even think that electronic fences will work, as terriers are far more determined for momentary shock. Overall, it's best that they're given regular opportunities to run/play off-leash. When walking outdoors, be sure that you keep your pup on a leash, as their terrier hunting instinct may attack anytime.

Make sure that your pet’s preventatives and vaccines are up to date before outdoor excursions. Call your animal hospital Dawsonville, GA for information.
