#10 Despite relaxed terrier instincts, the American Hairless Terrier is still a vigilant watchman.
Of course, compact dogs cannot detain an intruder, but you will always know in advance about the arrival of an invited or unexpected guest. It is easy for American Hairless Terriers to build friendships with the rest of the domestic fauna. These four-legged diplomats quickly figure out which of the "tails" can be shaken, and which is better to leave alone for the sake of their own safety. You can safely buy an "American" in a company with a shepherd dog or a representative of another large breed - contact and understanding will be found as soon as possible.
#11 The basic skills that a puppy who has moved to a new home must master is using the toilet, the habit of walking on a leash and responding to his own nickname, as well as a willingness to comply with sleep and feeding.
All of these skills are preliminary steps towards training the American Hairless Terrier. Before starting to deal with the kid "in an adult way", it is desirable to form a concept of discipline in him, otherwise, the dog will simply refuse to obey your requirements. Be sure to practice the command "Place!" With the puppy, which will help the animal to understand that it has its own corner in the house. In the case of the American Hairless Terrier, the traditional method works better: the owner speaks out the command, laying the terrier on a mattress after eating and gently holding the pet in this position.
#12 It is important to understand that the American Hairless Terrier is a sensitive and easily distracted pet.
therefore, it is more expedient to conduct lessons in a playful way, unobtrusively leading the animal to the execution of commands. One of the first to enter the order "Fu!" In fact, it is allowed to work it out already on the first walk with three-month-old puppies. With the learning of the command "Come to me!" it is also not worth tightening, otherwise, it will be problematic to control the pet outside the home walls. For the nimble and curious American Hairless Terrier toddler, an on-demand approach is one of the most difficult skills, so calmly accept the fact that at first the "naked" will pretend not to hear the call. You should also not run as fast as you can for a retreating pet. The dog will regard this behavior as a game of catch-up and the next time it will definitely repeat the trick with imitation of deafness.
