Glen of Imaal Terrier Grooming

Medium brushing to prevent maturity (soft hair around ears, neck, feet and abdomen) to imal terrier's weather resistant double coat glen, which has an outer outer coat and a soft undercoat. Weekly is required and should also be taken two or three times a year. They shed very little as a result of this effort. It does not take too long, and the bonding you achieve with your puppy is worth the time involved. Since glens are a dwarf breed, a small but strong grooming table is a very good investment. This will make the process a lot easier on both of you. Nails should be trimmed regularly, and ears should be checked weekly for debris or excess wax buildup.

Glen of Imaal Terrier Training

Glens are versatile, trained and very smart. They love people but usually do not get chimneys with other dogs. They are quieter and less nimble than other terriers - but, nevertheless, they are terriers: brave, sometimes stubborn, and little furry critters, interested in their natural hunting pursuits. Like most terriers, they have a great deal of character and learn quickly, which can make training a pleasure, although they may get bored with repetition. Positive reinforcement is the key. Keep training sessions short: Five minutes of training two or three times a day is much better than a 30-minute session.

Glen of Imaal Terrier Nutrition

A little more back-to-back than the typical terrier, the Glens require moderate exercise to stay healthy and happy. As a dwarf breed with slightly curved front legs, glances should not go into strenuous exercises, such as walking on a leash - it is good to start strap training, but walking is short and fun. A small use of a puppy's regular kubble can be used to reward him while on the leash. Let him walk in the yard thrown around the house or around, perhaps chasing a toy or ball. When that is enough, it will flop down for rest. Owners must prevent puppies from jumping off the couch, go down steep stairs, or get caught up in anything that is inappropriate on their growing front legs and joints. Can cause stress. Puppies need time to rise plates in their feet before they close any jumping or climbing or descending stairs. Going down the stairs is more stressful on the front legs than going down. Puppies in some breeders avoid ladders and jump until they are at least 9 months of age, as growth plates will close sometime between 9 and 12 months. This is a normal part of the developmental process but is especially important in dwarf breeds whose legs are short in relation to their body weight.
