What is the best way to house train a Westie?
Everyone has a preferred method, but it is true that most successful ways to housebreak or house train a dog involve patience and a consistent way of working with the pet. We recommend crate training as a way to give the dog a safe place to go to and a “den” that the pet will naturally want to keep clean. Combine this with consistent and frequent trips outdoors or to paper train and the Westie will often learn quickly. Taking the dog outside early in the morning and before retiring for the night is very important as well.
