THIS IS AWESOME! My favorite dog trainer and dog whisperer of all time has just released a free video online explaining how to eliminate 94% of all unwanted behavior in ANY dog. Her name is Krista Cantrell and I absolutely LOVE the way she teaches. Click on the video to watch. You'll be glad you did...

Westie training is more than just about teaching your pet to fetch balls or uncover hidden toys. It’s about imparting awareness into your pet to help him find out how to behave correctly. Training a westie isn’t hard considering that they are naturally well-behaved breed. As owner or potential owner, you just have to find out more about them, especially their temperament and qualities, to determine what training technique works best.

Training a westie, or other dog breeds in general is one of the most essential parts of every dog’s life. During this period, they need to learn not only how to sit, stay or come on command but they must also understand that barking when visitors are standing by the doorstep, jumping on them and running after their cars are unacceptable behaviors.

Whether it be a terrier or a hunting dog, they are happy when working thus they often seek activities to occupy their minds and match their energy level - running around the front lawn, going up and down the stairs, playing with other pets and yes, digging your well-kept garden or chewing the throw pillows in the living room. Though they’re intelligent, they cannot figure out by themselves whether what they’re doing is correct or not. To them, anything interesting and appears like work is the right thing to do thus they must be taught what is acceptable and not.

Westie training includes basic obedience training, housebreaking, dealing with typical dog behavior issues as well as exercise hence keeping a dog physically and mentally busy. Understand that a busy dog is less likely to get bored thereby preventing boredom-induced habits like too much barking, chewing and digging. With this, it would not be impossible for a dog to capture the hearts of his owners as well as those who have the opportunity to interact with him.

Dogs are loyal companions known to serve and defend their masters in times of danger. Their faithfulness and love can even reach the point of risking their lives and losing it when the need comes up. In exchange, they want nothing but their owner’s love and recognition.

Simply put, pet owners would certainly love a well-trained westie. On the other hand, a westie would be happiest if loved and taken care of by its beloved master.
