   if she pees inside scold her, walk her outside if she pees inside in order to show her where she should have peed. in the mean time, walk her outside on a leash a lot and wait until she goes to the bathroom. if she goes outside, give her a treat! good luck!!!!

   Crate train! It is the easiest and fastest way.

   When she can not be supervised, then she is in her crate. So at night, she’s in the crate, when you’re away. As soon s you take her out of her crate, she goes outside for a potty break. Make sure you watch her do her bussiness and don’t try to rush it. Take treats with you and when she potties outside, she gets a treat. If you catch her in the act in the house, simply tell her uh oh and take her outside. The key is to take her out as much as you possibly can. Girls can be a little harder to get to go potty. Make sure you always reward. Good luck with your new puppy. The terriers can be a little harder, so consistancy and patience is the key.

   yes if you catch her or he doing what they are not sa post to do then you must scold them so they learn that is not somthing they should do again. mail me a picture of him because he spends awfully cute. also if he does a good trick give him a treat. and if he does somthing bad well you know.
   teach them to sit lay down and let them listen to songs at nap time it helps them out with there stess.

   ok sis well hhope he is good

   and one giant kiss from me

   ok….20 minutes after she/he eats take her out to go potty. get pee pads and place them in front of the door that way she/ he will understand that outside is where they go potty. accidents will happen hence the pee pads. DO NOT give the puppy a treat if it goes where it is supposed to. lots of affection and telling the pup "good dog" is better. i hope this info helps. good luck w/ the new pup! : )

   cage the puppy when it is unattended. walk it out regular (even in your back yard) and encourage it to ‘do it’s business’. When it’s done give it lots of praise.

   If the puppy has an accident indoors, do not acknowledge it. Sternly take the puppy outside to its toilet area and instruct it to ‘do it’s business’ (don’t terrorise your puppy by sulking!)

   Keeping the puppy caged in a confined area will deter it from dirtying. A dog will not normally dirty in it’s own bed. (the area must be small but comfortable). You must take your puppy out at regular and frequent intervals.

   caging your puppy will help against chewing too.

   Don’t forget the cage must be a safe and secure place for your puppy. NEVER discipline your puppy whilst it is in its cage.

   Look upon a cage a your puppy’s safe environment. It is not cruel and it is a very effective training method for dogs of all ages.

   I have a Westie dog who was a puppy just two years ago. This is what we did…

   -We bought a bell that hung low to the ground (within his reach). We hung it by the door he would be using to go outdoors. When we were leaving the house to go on a walk, etc., we would go by that door and ring the bell in front of him each time. Eventually, he let us know when he needed to "go" by ringing the bell - he just pushed it with his nose. Now, even at 2 years old, he still does!

   -Each time he had an accident in the house, we tried not to scold him. Dogs don’t understand punishment. If you catch her in the act of going to the washroom indoors, pick her up (even in the middle of a pee!) and take her outdoors. If you discover a mess that has already been made, just clean it up. It’s too late. Scolding her will only confuse her and make her afraid of you. Praise her if she finishes her business outdoors. Each time my dog ‘went’ outdoors, we would praise him. That’s a simple way to let them know what is ‘right’ and ‘wrong’. Reward him! Treats and playing with her toys with her are two great ways.

   -Get your pup a crate. If you’re going to be leaving the house a lot this is a great idea so that they don’t soil your house or ruin any furniture. Plus, it’s like their own ’space’ - which most dogs enjoy. Most dogs also don’t want to soil their beds because they have to lie on it. Furnish the crate with a soft dog bed and a few toys for entertainment. Drape a towel over the top so they feel more protected.

   Westies are a great breed - enjoy!

   XOXO,
   Laurie

    i got a 2 month old puppy from a rescue shelter a few months ago. the first thing we did was pee training. we now have him peeing on command and almost poopin on command. you have to be very vigilant the first few months. but what I did, everytime he looked like he was going to pee, i took him outside. when he starts to pee, i say pee-pee, (insert name here), then after he’s done, i say good pee-pee, sounds so retarded i know, but after one month, he got used to going outside, and now i just walk to where he usually goes, say pee pee and wala! mountain dew.

    in the past 3 months we’ve only had 3 accidents. all because we neglected to let him out when we were supposed to. but as of late, he now kicks the door to let us know he has to go.

    also, watch the dog whisperer show, his techniques have been very effective. our dog is very bright and obedient, we even got him to run on a treadmill for the days it rains. (dog whisperer trick) its fun to watch and he loves it.

    Many people try puppy pads but then, if you happen to move or the puppy has exposure to any spot on carpeting that has urine on it, that also becomes a "puppy pad". Most people who have had experience with more than one dog recommend cage-training. This means you use the cage a little like the "den" the mother dog would keep her puppies in. She keeps her den clean and the puppies learn not to defacate in areas where they sleep. The "den", or cage become the place the puppy will sleep and stay when you are not able to directly supervise it. If you leave the house, you can put the puppy in the cage and not worry that he might chew on a shoe, the leg of the dining room table, or a couch pillow. This keeps the puppy safe, because puppies are known for chewing on things that are not good for them, causing visits to the vet when their tummies become upset. The plan usually includes letting the puppy outside upon arising, after puppy meals, and after supervised play-time. Treats and excessive praise to encourage the good behaviours keep the puppy going in the right direction (dogs live for praise, rather than scorn or punishment). Soon the puppy will learn that since the cage (and the house is an extension of the cage) is not a place to urinate or defacate, the house is not, either. Play-time should always be directly supervised and limited to only about 10 to 20 minutes on a tiled surface, or ONLY as long as the pup can hold it. If he has an accident, you made the mistake by letting him play too long. Find a good book on cage-training and you will be on your way to a fun dog to have around, instead of a dog who you always need to be watching and wondering if there will be another accident. If you find your puppy is doing well, but then has a lapse in "training", this would be a good time for the puppy to be checked for a bladder infection.
