Are Norwich Terriers good with other dogs?

Yes, Norwich Terriers can be good with other dogs, especially when they have been properly socialized and introduced from a young age. Their friendly, bold, and sociable nature often makes them eager to interact and play with other dogs. 

However, like any breed, individual temperament plays a significant role, so some Norwich Terriers may prefer certain playmates or personalities over others. As a small-breed pup, it’s crucial to make sure they feel safe and secure in their interactions with larger dogs, as insecurity can lead to defensive behaviors. 

When introducing Norwich Terriers to new dogs, it’s helpful to start in controlled environments like on leash walks or in neutral territory, allowing them to get used to each other gradually. Keeping a close eye on their interactions ensures that play stays safe and enjoyable. Using positive reinforcement for calm behavior reinforces their social skills and encourages positive interactions with other dogs as they continue to socialize. If your pup seems uncomfortable with an interaction, it’s best to provide comfort and increase distance from the other pup, allowing them to process the other dog from a distance where they feel safe.
