Norwich Terriers need regular grooming. The hard, outer coat and the soft undercoat of this breed benefit from hand-stripping. This process of pulling dead hair from the outer coat and excess hair from the undercoat promotes new hair growth.
The Norwich Terrier requires ample physical and mental exercise. That could mean taking a long walk, playing with other pets and people, or participating in dog sports. Earthdog trials, agility, racing, lure coursing, tracking, flyball, musical freestyle, and competitive obedience are all great activities for a Norwich.
