Training Your Westie, Puppies[Index] [Puppies] [Housebreaking] [Paper Training] [Obedience] [Keywords] [Walking] [Behaviour] [Toys] [Barking] [pups] The day you bring your puppy home is the day you start the training process, However don't expect much at this early stage. I have received so many emails from puppy guardians telling me it's been 3 days and young eat-allot is still leaving his mark on the kitchen floor. They are still far too young to understand, even when they have learned there are still going to be times of forgetfulness, you need to continue help him remember. From the start if your Westie learns that your way of doing things brings praise and affection, but his way brings results he does not like he will soon learn to choose the easier way. Always make sure your way is easier and more desirable, a puppy given a huge amount of praise will know what he needs to do next time to get more of this. A successful training program will be where you are persistent, confident and above all consistent. Your Westie must feel confident in you and you must be confident in yourself. Always be consistent and react to the situation the same way at all times. If you tell your Westie "No" for wetting on the floor, but next time you say "OOPS" little accident, then he is never going to learn. Consistent reinforcement and praise every time he gets it right, and corrected every time he gets it wrong will soon teach your Westie.
