The English Toy Terrier (ETT) is a loyal and affectionate breed known for its playful and energetic nature. They are very attached to their family and often choose a favorite person to be particularly close to. ETTs can be cautious with strangers and should be socialized early to prevent aloofness. Despite their small size, they are brave and spirited, inheriting their courage from their history as rat catchers. Training requires patience and consistency, as they can be stubborn, but they respond well to positive, reward-based methods. Overall, ETTs are entertaining companions that thrive on attention and interaction.
