Get it out amongst them once it’s had its jabs like any other dog. Some terriers can be a pain in the ass if left to late.

Be kind and firm or harsh and hard.Terriers have a tendency to become terrierish and forget about their entering and education,some react to a raised voice and many to a twatting.

The one on the left had a good twatting as morton put after taking after a lamb at 5 months. I hated doing it but I remember thinking its for his own good. From that day on he was the most reliable dog I have ever had with stock and I would literally have bet my right arm on him under any circumstances. The one on the right I don't recall her ever doing any thing wrong just wasn't in her nature
