You should give your new Westie lots of love. But, you should also give him/her lots of guidance. Shy dogs become more secure when they sense a lot of guidance from their new owners; and more outgoing dogs need guidance from their new owners so that they don’t feel like they have to discover boundaries for themselves. Be firm. Be consistent. Be loving.
