TRAINING
This sportive dog learns quite easily. Because of this make sure that the training is full of variety and offers the dog a challenge; in this way it will quickly pick up your intentions.
SOCIAL BEHAVIOR
Lakeland Terriers are good with children and other dogs - not common among Terriers. They can be uncertain of strangers but this does not usually become extreme. Teach them when they are young to get on with cats and other household animals, so that they will not chase them later.
EXERCISE
A Lakeland Terrier can be kept in a flat but it must get adequate exercise. They need to run and play off the lead at regular intervals. They are certainly suitable for various sporting activities such as fly-ball and agility skills.
