Bedlington Terriers may look like lambs, but really they are wolves in disguise. They are intelligent, but they are terriers with a mind of their own which can make training them a bit of a challenge for people who are not familiar with the breed or this type of dog.
Harsh training methods do not sit well with Bedlingtons, but they do respond pretty well to positive reinforcement bearing in mind that training has to be consistent, firm and fair. They boast having quite a stubborn streak and if a Bedlington decides they don't want to do something, the only of convincing them is to gently coerce them into obeying a command.
