Kerry Blue Terriers are known to be intelligent, they are also very outgoing and confident characters which means they need to be handled and trained with a firm, fair and gentle hand in order to get the best results. They do not answer well to any sort of harsh correction or heavy handed training, but they do respond very well to positive reinforcement, but because they are so intelligent these terriers must not be allowed to pick up any bad habits which they can learn as fast as they learn the "good" things. These little dogs are never happier than when they know their place in the pack and who to look up to for direction and guidance.
