The ideal way to house train a puppy is to buy a crate. Puppy should sleep in the crate and be carried out in the morning. If you let puppy walk, he may stop and pee on the way out. While he is small it pays to carry him out and put him down in the yard where you want to train him to go. Praise him lavishly when he goes. He can then come back in the house to eat. He needs to go out again once he finishes eating for 10 to 20 minutes until he eliminates . He will need to go out at least every two hours for the first couple of months

He will need a booster vaccination at 12 weeks, 16 weeks and 1 year of age. Rabies vaccination should not be given at the same time as other vaccinations and I recommend 5 months of age. Too many vaccinations at the same time, or too frequently, can lead to autoimmune issues. Rabies will be required by law, but please get the three year vaccination. I recommend you read Dr Jean Dodds vaccine protocols at https://drjeandoddspethealthresource.tumblr.com

Airedales are active dogs and need to be exercised. Playing ball in your back yard, or a walk morning and evening are advisable once your puppy is four months of age. Prior to this puppy will get enough exercise just playing. Do not over exercise a young puppy by running with him, or taking your young Airedale with you while you cycle. They can damage their bones and joints if forced to over exercise before they are ready. Airedales are “terre-iers” and love to dig. Keep this in mind when you are preparing a yard for them

Airedales are “thinkers”. Don’t ask them to do foolish things.
If you ask an Airedale to do a “long down” in the sun they will get up and move to the shade. Don’t bore your Airedale. They will never become robots. They like variety and hate being asked to do the same thing over and over in obedience. Use lots of positive motivation. They are happy dogs and want you to be happy too. Praise, praise, fun, fun. Be prepared to laugh with your dog .
