Training a Cesky Terrier: what works and what to expect

How the Cesky Terrier learns, common training challenges and what motivates it.

Ceskys are sensitive, food-motivated and eager enough to please, though they share a terrier's independent streak. Short sessions with small food rewards work best, and they respond poorly to harsh words. Many enjoy trick training and scent work.

Recall can be unreliable when a scent or small animal appears, so practice with a long line. Socialize puppies well with visitors and new places, because the breed can be reserved with strangers. Teach a calm 'settle' so your Cesky learns to relax when guests arrive.
