At what age should Westies start training? I have a 6 month old and she is completely spoiled by her dad. She has the run of the house. I am extremely impressed with your puppy and your training. WOW…

I got a bunch of chicken and started training her. Took 3 days for her to know ‘down’. Still don’t know a good way to potty train her.

its a bit easier to train a 2 years old dog because they can listen properly and can’t be easily distracted from the things surrounding them because they got used to it. But the very first thing you should teach your pet is weather they know their name or not. because if they don’t know their own name then you’ll have difficulty teaching her tricks. i hope it helps :))

When your westie …
When your westie starts to get a little older I suggest you start to let her roam around on her own outside, its really interesting to watch how well they interact with nature. My westie Liz once had actually caught a rabbit in our back yard, I made her put it down it held her while it ran for its life haha

My Westie Lizzie is about 7 and when she was young we taught her to ring a bell attached to the door handle by a string when she needs to go to the bathroom too. Before we got Liz of our Westie breeder she warned us that male westies are more dominant and are harder to train because of their independent attitudes. And they are known to be picky about where they do their business. (She does think that when our cat is outside its a good time to ring the bell haha)

I use Nature’s Recipe Training Treats from Pet’smart are perfect. when I reach for the container Marget sits down ready fro training time. Small pieces of balogna or hot dog are good, too but she seems to start licking my finger and stops focusing. Anything small and easy to chew, hard treats didn’t work for me.

Crap… My Westie, Sugar, is almost 2 years (she turns on September 10th) and she can’t do any of those tricks. Do you have any tips? Especially with potty training.
