Dog` Training???

[mikey]

I'm getting a wire fox terrier next week. Does anyone have advice on training a 3.5 month old puppy.

Also, I was told it has an over bite....is this something to be concerned about?

Teach her basic commands, and she will make a great dog. Don't worry about the over bite, it is normal, especially in terriers.

no an overbite is nothing to worry about this means her teeth are not straight take to puppy classes and then to obedience

Not to worry about an over bite. It only means he can't be shown in breed competition and he should not be bred. That could be carried on to his off spring. Lucky for him a much happier and healthier life.

As far as training, I guess you mean housebreaking and crate training is the best for that. At his age he will be teething like crazy so make sure you have chew toys for him, and don't let him bite on you or anyone else! That's a very bad habit, so nip that in the bud asap if he wants to start. His gums will be sore so before you get him home get some washcloths and soak then in water or chicken broth, wring them out and freeze them. This is a great puppy pacifier. So when he starts chewing take one out and give one to him. All the best you're in for a lot of fun! Congrats;^)
