West Highland White Terrier Training
West Highland White Terrier puppies are independent and smart. Westies, sometimes when they are young but especially more so when they are older, have patient required to learn that other breeds may not. They like a variety of activities to keep them stimulated and interested. Their independent streak means they may want to go off on their own to learn-by-doing, sort of, so keep a firm but gentle approach to training your pup. It’s always recommended to socialize any puppy early on and frequently with other dogs.
Selecting a West Highland White Terrier Puppy
West Highland White Terrier Puppy Ears
Healthy puppies will have clean ears with no signs of discharge, redness, inflammation or pungent odour. If the puppy is aggressively scratching or pawing their ear, tilting their head or excessively flipping their head, it may also be a sign of discomfort. Breeds with floppy ears are more prone to infection or disease.
