I have a Westie dog who was a puppy just two years ago. This is what we did -We bought a bell that hung low to the grunod (within his reach). We hung it by the door he would be using to go outdoors. When we were leaving the house to go on a walk, etc., we would go by that door and ring the bell in front of him each time. Eventually, he let us know when he needed to «go» by ringing the bell he just pushed it with his nose. Now, even at 2 years old, he still does!-Each time he had an accident in the house, we tried not to scold him. Dogs don’t understand punishment. If you catch her in the act of going to the washroom indoors, pick her up (even in the middle of a pee!) and take her outdoors. If you discover a mess that has already been made, just clean it up. It’s too late. Scolding her will only confuse her and make her afraid of you. Praise her if she finishes her business outdoors. Each time my dog went’ outdoors, we would praise him. That’s a simple way to let them know what is right’ and wrong’. Reward him! Treats and playing with her toys with her are two great ways.-Get your pup a crate. If you’re going to be leaving the house a lot this is a great idea so that they don’t soil your house or ruin any furniture. Plus, it’s like their own space’ which most dogs enjoy. Most dogs also don’t want to soil their beds because they have to lie on it. Furnish the crate with a soft dog bed and a few toys for entertainment. Drape a towel over the top so they feel more protected.Westies are a great breed enjoy!XOXO,LaurieReferences :
