- Never purchase a Lakeland from a puppy broker or pet store. Reputable breeders do not sell to middlemen or retailers, and there are no guarantees as to whether the puppy had healthy parents with a nice temperament. Ask for references so you can contact other puppy buyers to see if they're happy with their Lakeland. Doing your homework may save you from a lot of heartbreak later.
- Lakeland Terriers are excitable dogs and have a lot of energy.
- They are a highly intelligent breed that can take advantage of an insecure owner and become the "ruler of the house." Be sure that your Lakie knows who is alpha in your household (hopefully, you!).
- Lakeland Terriers are prone to chasing other animals or anything else that might interest them. Keep them on a leash when you're in unfenced areas.
- Speaking of fences, it's best that you have a fenced yard for your Lakies to play in. Just be sure that the fence is very secure. They can be escape artists!
- Barking sometimes is a problem with Lakeland Terriers.
- Lakeland Terriers can be stubborn and difficult to housetrain. Crate training is recommended.
- Lakeland Terriers tend to be possessive about their food and toys. Obedience training is recommended.
- Their terrier aggression can get out of hand without proper respect for their owners and training.
