Last Minute Information on Westie Training by:Richard Cussons

Westies will really go exploring if they can help it

, since their disposition and terrier temperament include the irresistible urge to check and investigate. For them, new ventures mean more learning. One of the things he will understand very soon is that you are a good provider of what he needs. Soon, he will see that aside from material needs, he can also get from you the decision to know what is right and wrong to do. Earning the dog's trust is important in westie training.

At first, you get the impression that the dog's learning is progressing into the wrong directions. But prepare to implement training as a never-ending process. For example, you will need a response to the fact that your westie is quick to develop ways to catch your attention and get you to pass on to him a treat. Thus, your training goals need to include how to veer your dog's natural instincts into its socially acceptable version, while giving the dog a proper lifestyle.

Here are some tips in order to take to heart westie training:

1.Every dog needs to be given the chance to have training, and it can start at eight weeks of age. Time spent on inculcating basic manners and obedience skills to your westie need to be fun and will create a special loving bond between dog and trainer.

2.Look for a reliable dog trainer, school, or private obedience teacher. Good sources of a contact can be the dog's vet, groomer, or breeder. Once you have chosen, ask if it is possible to sit in a class session.

3.No dog training can consist of force and abuse. The best methods of training dogs rely on the use of reinforcements and corrections. We ourselves are aware that the behavior that is rewarded will be repeated by the dog.

4.When unacceptable behavior happens, correct the westie verbally right there and then. On the other hand, the best reinforcer is a treat. Praise, attention and play are also important.

5.Exercise fairness and compassion on your westie. Never hit or yell in correcting.

6.Shower praise on the dog when he does what you want.

7.In the long run, you will need to be consistent and confident. And not only that; the complete family needs to agree and stick to what the major family member teaches.

8.There needs to be a fair amount of time each day to attention, affection, training and play. A quarter of an hour of training a few times a week will have you and your westie keen on learning.

9.Among the many training commands out there, your westie will need the following in particular: sit, stay, heel, down and come. A well-behaved dog is a delight to know.

10.Westie training eats up time and wears away our daily focus, but yours for the keeping is a westie that is a pleasure to live with.
