Excels in hunting, agility, eyesight and hearing. It’s a sturdy, well-boned, well-muscled dog. Because of their athletic physique the Airedale Terriers make good jogging partners.

It is not difficult to train but does not respond to harsh training methods. It needs daily exercise and proper obedience training. Responsive to training and the easiest to train of all terriers.
