The Skye Terrier requires a lifelong dedication, typically living 12-15 years. They mature slowly, reaching full physical and emotional development around three years, so patience is key during their puppy and adolescent stages. It is important to work with a breeder who puts in the time and effort during the first twelve weeks of life, a critical period of time in a puppy’s development. Ongoing training is important, especially during adolescence. Skye Terriers are smart and sensitive. They respond best to positive reinforcement, and will seek out mutual respect from their human counterparts. If you’re ready to invest time in training and bonding, this loyal companion will reward you with unwavering devotion.
