Walking a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier
The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier is a spirited yet gentle terrier famous for its exuberant, affectionate greeting and its love of staying close to its people.
Walking a Wheaten is generally a pleasure: it is energetic without being tireless, so a good daily walk or two plus some play and sniffing time keeps this terrier happily fit. Because a moderate prey drive is part of the package, keep the leash secure around cats, wildlife, and small dogs until a dependable recall is in place, and reserve off-leash freedom for safely enclosed spaces. Mixing in games and light training along the way satisfies a curious mind as much as the legs. A consistent daily rhythm keeps a Wheaten balanced, content, and easy company.

- Pavement check on warm days: press the back of your hand to the pavement for 7 seconds — if it is too hot for your hand, it is too hot for paws.
- Cold-season paw care: road salt and de-icing grit can irritate paws — wipe or rinse paws after walks and watch for ice building up between the pads.
