3 Tips When Choosing The Child Friendly Soft Coated Wheaten Dog

By: Wycliffe Williams, Platinum Quality Author

It appears that dogs have become an integral part of our lives. Well over 75 million of our four-legged friends live with us in the USA. Surveys indicate that we are moving toward choosing the medium to smaller size dog. It is in this pack that we’ll find our most child friendly dog. The most child friendly dog has got to be a Soft Coated Wheaten dog. A close relative of mine has one and he is fantastic with the children. His name is “Pepper.” If you can, you should seriously consider getting a child friendly, Soft Coated Wheaten dog for the following reasons.

1. Most Child Friendly Dog Without a doubt, they absolutely love children. Soft Coated Wheatens get along well with the more rambunctious children also. They’re not prone to any aggression with children. These dogs are sturdy and very agile. They are quick and children will find them a joy to play with. Just a note for the elderly. Elderly persons who are grieving the loss of a long time partner will find the soft coated wheaten a therapeutic friend indeed. They are not only a child friendly dog; they are great with the elderly as well. The Soft Coated Wheaten is peerless in his loyalty and devotion to his owner.

2. Best for indoors or outdoors? This child friendly dog loves interaction with people. As a matter of fact they are recommended bedroom dogs. They love to be near their owner. They are at their best when inside. Oddly enough, they were originally bred as outdoor farm dogs. But over the years, they have adapted to the indoors remarkably well. For the apartment dwelling family, this child friendly dog is the perfect choice. Very rarely do they bark and disturb the neighbors. But you must allow them to get their exercise. Just a word about exercise. All dogs resort to destructive behavior without proper exercise. The Soft Coated Wheaten is no exception. As I mentioned earlier, this breed is originally a farm dog. So exercise is important because they have a lot of energy.

3. Grooming Soft Coated Wheaten dogs require a fairly consistent amount of grooming. The beautiful coat of these dogs sets it apart from other dogs. It has a wheat colored, soft, silky, open coat. The coat is wavy-like, but does not shed. Let me back up a bit. All dogs shed. But if there is a dog that sheds the least, it would be the Soft Coated Wheaten. This dog must have its beautiful golden coat brushed on a regular basis. Most children enjoy brushing the coat of this beautiful dog. In addition, the dog loves the attention also. I must let you know that the breeder of this child friendly dog is very particular who he sells his puppies to. They will meet with you and question you closely on several key areas concerning these dogs. Knowing that they are excellent indoor dogs and so child friendly, you probably will be asked about potty training. The WizDog Potty makes potty training any dog a breeze. The Wizdog Indoor Potty allows your dog to relieve himself while inside your house. Wizdog is a simple indoor potty made of two main parts; a tray and a grate. Puppy and dog waste goes through the grate into the tray below. Wizdog Indoor Potty is a paw friendly system that doesn’t allow your dogs paws to come into contact with the waste. This makes for a sanitary area for the children too. I find that the Soft Coated Wheaten is the most child friendly dog. They are loyal and very forgiving with children. Again, it’s best to keep Soft Coated Wheatens indoors. Make sanitation your top priority…use a WizDog Indoor Potty. Wycliffe Williams just loves puppies and dogs. Herman was his favorite. Soft Coated Wheatens will make an excellent special friend. Don’t let potty training cause problems between you and your child friendly dog. The answer you’ve been seeking is just a click away.

Crate train my 6 year old dog?
My Wheaten Terrier has serious separation anxiety. Her previous owner passed away and I've only had her since July. My job puts me up in a rental condo when I'm in town, and I have to bring her with me whenever I leave or she will tear the place up. Starting tomorrow I have to be back in the office for an eight hour day. I bought a large crate that she has room to move around in, and I can sneak back to my condo at lunchtime to walk her, but I hate to do it! She barks and cries the minute I put her in it. I just don't want her getting hurt or destroying a condo I can't afford to fix. What can I do?

Are wheaten terriers aggressive and hard to train?
I really want a wheaten terrier. The thing is, I've seen things online saying they are "aggressive", "dont like to be left alone", and I've heard people say negative things about them, like they are "hard to train". I watch lots of YouTube videos of them playing in the snow and playing with people online : I really want one. They all seem REALLY friendly and adorable in those videos, and quite harmless. But I need to know the truth very soon. In our family, there are a few people. Kids who really would like a dog to play around with and run with, but not every second of the day! Children (neighbors) are always at our house, and we have a very nice sized backyard. When the weather is good, the kids play sports and run around the house. We think that a Wheaten Terrier would like attention like that! We want to buy a dog between 4 and 11 months old. But is it really hard to train them? Are they aggressive? Can they be left home alone? When our family goes on vacation, is it okay for them to be at another persons house/dog care for a little while? The max. would be a week gone. THANK YOU SO MUCH for reading this and helping, if you do. We really appreciate it!

Which is better: Wheaten Terrier or Yorkie?
I may be getting a Wheaten Terrier ; or a Yorkie. I have no idea! I hear Yorkies pee EVERYWHERE since they have really small bladders. But then I hear that Wheaten Terriers are aggressive and hard to train. I'm really hoping Wheaten Terriers are not bad dogs, because they are the perfect size for my family ; and if I'm correct, a reasonable energy level, which isn't TOO bad. Please tell me any concerns and what I need to know about these dogs!

Do you think a Wheaten Terrier or Yorkie is good for my family?
*YOUR ANSWERS ARE VERY IMPORTANT. THEY MAY BE USED IN CONVINCING MY MOM TO LET ME GET A DOG* She thinks that we should get a Yorkie. I say no. Read about my family and tell me what you think: - We have young kids in my family, and young neighbors. They are ALWAYS playing with my siblings and running all throughout the house and in the backyard, all the time. - They play lots of sports in the backyard, for about an hour or 2, then take a break. - There are a lot of big neighborhood dogs that are always being walked, and my neighbors all have dogs. - We travel a lot in the summer, but during the school year we only take about 2-3 vacations, that are not very long. The longest vacation we would ever take would be 7 days. - We live where it can get very hot in the summer, and very cold and lots of snow in the winter - We are always playing in the deep snow, all throughout the winter! As you were reading this, I'm assuming you were really thinking that our family is perfect for a Wheaten Terrier! If you dont think we're perfect for one, I'd really like an explanation..... Please answer :) By the way, 2 people in my family are ALLERGIC to dog fur. Wheatens are good, right?
