They do not require frequent bathing, and toweling off your dog is enough when he is wet and dirty. Too many baths tend to soften the harsh coat that is a natural dirt repellant, and they do not normally have strong odor.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"can-a-border-terrier-be-left-alone\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_a_border_terrier_be_left_alone\"><\/span>Can a border terrier be left alone?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Yes, border terriers can be left alone, but, you need to train them and also put some things in place to keep them preoccupied or they might get bored and become destructive or anxious. Some small breeds are quite dependent on their owner and may develop separation anxiety if left alone for a long duration of time.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"do-border-terriers-like-to-cuddle\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_border_terriers_like_to_cuddle\"><\/span>Do border terriers like to cuddle?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Your Border Terrier will make you smile and laugh everyday without fail and will encourage cuddles and sloppy kisses.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-193869 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/animalshelterz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Do-border-terriers-like-to-cuddle.jpg\" alt=\"Do border terriers like to cuddle?\" width=\"1805\" height=\"1433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/animalshelterz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Do-border-terriers-like-to-cuddle.jpg 1805w, https:\/\/animalshelterz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Do-border-terriers-like-to-cuddle-300x238.jpg 300w, https:\/\/animalshelterz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Do-border-terriers-like-to-cuddle-1024x813.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/animalshelterz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Do-border-terriers-like-to-cuddle-768x610.jpg 768w, https:\/\/animalshelterz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Do-border-terriers-like-to-cuddle-1536x1219.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1805px) 100vw, 1805px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"at-what-age-do-border-terriers-calm-down\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"At_what_age_do_border_terriers_calm_down\"><\/span>At what age do border terriers calm down?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Other people have told me that their Border terrier was very exciteable when young but that they calmed down when they got to about 2 years old, and it\u2019s reassuring that your terrier has calmed down a bit on his own too.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BRXcaMexlCg\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"how-far-can-a-border-terrier-walk\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_far_can_a_border_terrier_walk\"><\/span>How far can a border terrier walk?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Border Terrier Walking<\/p>\n<p>The length of the walk is only limited by your time and energy as a Border Terrier can go all day long. Ideally, the minimum should be 45 to 60 minutes daily. This can be just once a day, or two walks a day would be better if your schedule allows.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"why-are-puppies-so-expensive-to-buy\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_are_puppies_so_expensive_to_buy\"><\/span>Why are puppies so expensive to buy?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Dogs and puppies have become so expensive because of the changed role they play in families. \u201cNowadays they have become more a part of the family and are therefore a lot more spoilt. People don\u2019t mind spending the extra money and are willing to spend a lot more to get the perfect dog.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-happens-if-you-don-t-strip-a-border\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_happens_if_you_dont_strip_a_border_terrier\"><\/span>What happens if you don\u2019t strip a border terrier?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Never, Never clip a Border Terrier\u2019s coat.<\/p>\n<p>The result will be a horrible tangled soft mess. Do not use stripping knives which can cut the hairs, these will also leave the dead roots and part of the shaft of the hair behind, and some of the so-called rakes can actually cut the skin.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"why-does-my-border-terrier-smell-so-bad\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_my_border_terrier_smell_so_bad\"><\/span>Why does my border terrier smell so bad?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Root of the Behavior<\/p>\n<p>Your dog may be domesticated but dogs being dogs, they love to roll around in smelly stuff. It is in their genes. If your Border Terrier has been smelling funky even right after his bath, he could have microorganisms such as bacteria and yeast quietly having the time of their lives in his fur.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BRXcaMexlCg\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/H52N6pj3HgI\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"are-border-terriers-hard-to-train\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_border_terriers_hard_to_train\"><\/span>Are border terriers hard to train?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Border Terriers don\u2019t have much going against them when it comes to training. They will chew on things given half the chance, so that\u2019s something to work on from day one, but generally, they\u2019re easy to train and will enjoy the challenge, asthey just love to learn.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"do-border-terriers-shed-a-lot-of-hair\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_border_terriers_shed_a_lot_of_hair\"><\/span>Do border terriers shed a lot of hair?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Yes Border Terriers do shed, they are classed as minimal shedders and are not known to be high maintenance. As with most breeds they will shed more at certain times of the year, namely spring and autumn. If your Border Terrier seems to shed more than normal, then you may want to have them checked out by a vet.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-smart-are-border-terriers\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_smart_are_border_terriers\"><\/span>How smart are border terriers?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Border Terriers can excel in a wide variety of canine activities, such as agility.
