Scottish Terrier Characteristics
The Scottish Terrier is a self-confident dog, also stubborn and cold and haughty in appearance.
He is brave and independent and, although he is not a model in obedience, he knows perfectly well where his limits are. He is always faithful and very attached to his owner, and despite his arrogance, he is a playful, unruly, and fun dog. He usually adapts very well to both indoor and outdoor life.
The Scottie may be stubborn and headstrong and can be difficult to train due to his self-sufficient nature. Persistence, consistency, and positive reinforcement are the best route for basic obedience training. Also, early socialization with people and other dogs is very important to raise a well-behaved adult Scottie!
