They are intelligent and fearless, but because of their small size, they can sometimes get overwhelmed in larger playgroups. Everyday walks with your dog are a great way to provide your Welsh Terrier with some exercise and mental stimulation. This short, brisk walk on leash will help him burn off energy, while allowing him to explore new surroundings and meet new people.
