Intro

One thing you will find about grooming Westie's is that everyone has their own way of doing things. Everyone seems to be different in finding out what's best for them. You should start getting your Westie accustomed to all the grooming routines from the day you bring him/her home. With puppies you need to keep the grooming time down to five or ten minutes, this will also apply to the older or rescue Westie.

You need a lot of patience and must give a lot of praise, while being firm. There is no need for heavy handling a Westie, and never shout when things are going wrong. Being firm and handling your Westie roughly are too different things. Westie's will learn a lot quicker by using lots of praise, take your time and do have lots of Patience, and more Patience!

It is best if you make it a habit of grooming your Westie at least once a week. You will find that if you continue to do weekly grooming sessions that the time involved will only amount to 1 or 2 hours per week.
