Can Cairn Terriers be trained to be friendly with strangers and other dogs?
I have two cairns and i love them to death. But my older dog Huck is sort of aggressive towards neighbors and other dogs as well. But my younger dog Skeeba (stupid name I know) is not aggressive but is very eager to play with and meet new dogs. We got Huck when he was already i few month old and I think it is just because Cairns are territorial. Skeeba on the other hand was only a few weeks old. We were installing an invisible fence too but my step dad never finished it. But I am sure if you got a Cairn Terrier when it was just a puppy and trained it to stay in the invisible fence it would be a sucsess. And I love to here about people who adopt from shelters. I personally think shelter dogs are wonderful. So good luck and i am sorry i didn’t really answer your question.
