Are Airedale Terriers good for first-time pet parents?

No, Airedale Terriers can be challenging for first-time pet parents due to their strong-willed nature, intelligence, and high energy levels. Smart and quick to learn, they also have a stubborn streak and may test boundaries if not given consistent training and leadership. If a first-time pet parent is willing to dedicate the necessary time and effort to their training, exercise, and socialization needs, an Airedale Terrier can be a rewarding and enjoyable companion for anyone.
