Care Tips for Irish Terriers

1

Regular Exercise: Irish Terriers are active and energetic dogs that require daily exercise to maintain their physical and mental well-being. Engage them in activities like long walks, playtime, or agility training to keep them stimulated and happy.

2

Grooming Needs: Their dense, wiry coat requires regular brushing to prevent matting and to maintain its texture. Additionally, periodic hand-stripping or professional grooming is recommended to keep their coat in optimal condition.

3

Training and Socialization: Start training and socialization early to ensure they develop into well-behaved adults. Irish Terriers are intelligent and can be independent, so consistent, positive reinforcement techniques are effective in managing their sometimes stubborn nature.
