Answer :

Terriers in general are stubborn and hard-willed. You have to be very careful to train them well from day one, or they’ll get nasty. Always maintain the “alpha dog” status. If you let them get the top dog position, they won’t let you take things away from them or be in charge at all. This is the problem we’re having with our dog (half terrier) right now.
