Lancashire Heelers are intelligent dogs and are generally easy to train. However, they can be independent and strong-willed at times, so consistent and positive training methods are recommended. Early socialization and training are also important for ensuring that they develop into well-behaved adults.
Puppyhood
Lancashire Heeler puppies are small but energetic, and require plenty of exercise and mental stimulation to prevent boredom and destructive behavior. They are generally good with children and other pets, but should be supervised during playtime to prevent accidental injury. Early socialization and training are also important for ensuring that they develop into well-adjusted adults. Like all puppies, they require proper nutrition, regular veterinary checkups, and plenty of love and attention from their owners.
