You’ve got this high-energy, clever, not to mention willful ball of fur… and you want to make sure he knows that he has to behave. Training your Wheaten as a puppy, when he still wants to please, is a lot faster and easier than trying to make up for lost time once he’s been enjoying his freedom.
The Wheaten temperament can make them a challenge to train. They’re typically smart dogs with their own agendas in life, which seldom includes what you want them to do. If they get away with too much for too long, you’ll find yourself with an unruly and difficult adult Wheaten –not a good companion for any family. If you want your Wheaten to be all he can be, take him to Puppy Kindergarten and/or Basic Obedience classes. You won’t be sorry.
