Manchester Terriers are clever little dogs, ranked 32 out of 79 other breeds when it comes to intelligence, this paired to the fact they love to please makes them easy to train. However, their training has to start early because they are known to be a little wilful at times, a trait that needs to be nipped in the bud.
It cannot be stressed enough the importance of early socialisation which has to involve introducing a young Manchester Terrier to as many new situations, people, noises, animals and other dogs as soon as they have been fully vaccinated. This helps dogs like the Manchester grow up into well-rounded and obedient mature dogs. A well socialised terrier tends to be a more relaxed and less excitable when they are put in all sorts of different situations.
