Care Tips for Lakeland terriers

1

Regular Exercise: Lakeland Terriers are energetic dogs that require daily exercise to stay healthy and happy. Aim for at least 30 to 60 minutes of physical activity each day, including walks, playtime, and mental stimulation through interactive games or training sessions.

2

Consistent Grooming: Their dense, wiry coat needs regular grooming to prevent matting and to maintain its texture. Brush their coat weekly and consider professional grooming every few months to keep them looking their best. Hand-stripping is recommended to maintain the coat’s natural appearance.

3

Socialization and Training: Start socializing your Lakeland Terrier early to ensure they grow up to be well-adjusted adults. Enroll them in obedience classes
