Bedlingtons are tolerant of other dogs, particularly if reared with them. They may not initiate a dispute, but they will not pull away from one. Although the Bedlington appears fluffy and loving, he is no pushover and will not willingly accept another dog's effort to control him. When stimulated, your Bedlington can be a vicious fighter, so be careful when incorporating him into new furry friends, particularly adult dogs of the same gender. Male Bedlingtons, in particular, will fight until serious harm is done.
Bedlington is smart, and his intellect makes him difficult to teach. He performs best when you're able to convince him that what you're after is actually his idea or helps him in a certain manner. Positive reinforcement tactics such as compliments, play, and food incentives should be used. Rude comments and brute assault will simply bring out his obstinate side and start a fight of wills in which you will almost certainly lose. Despite this, Bedlingtons have had success inside the obedience ring. They see the agility arena as a great opportunity to display forth their agility, elegance, and passion. And, of course, your Bedlington would enjoy Earth Dog events where he can show off his terrier determination and eagerness to hunt for prey underground.
The Bedlington, with correct teaching and socialization, makes a superb company and ardent partner in any and all play dates. You'll enjoy his humorous nature and eagerness to make the best of life.
