Help!! 7 Month Old Westie Puppy Still Weeing In The House?
Filed under Care & Training Q&As
Hi my wetie pup has just done a wee on my daughters bed, I’m really worried that we will never get her house trained!!!
We had her trained to use puppy pads by 10 weeks old.
She stop using these herself when she was 4 months, now however she has started to go for a wee around the house, weeing on my daughers bed is a first though. she know to go to the door if she wants out, and does this most of the time, I feel that we are going backwards. Any suggestion??? thanks

When it looks as though it needs to wee take it out to the garden and once it has done its wee/poo reward and praise it. Keep repeating this, it will soon learn and once it needs a wee it should automatically go outside.
i got a chitzu and what i did was:
every time it did it ,i grab a newspaper and smack him softly a couple of times and told him bad boy
it work for me ,you should try it
good luck
Could be trying to get attention, or could be bored and trying to get even.
Is anyone playing with her? She needs shared time just like a toddler, and for the same reasons. Start taking her out in the morning and afternoons and play a bit – tug of war, training to fetch, etc (training is play if it doesn’t go over about 15 minutes at a time). If she wees outside, praise her like crazy and give her a treat.
If she’s also bored, get one of the toys that you can put a treat inside and she has to play with it (roll it around a lot) to get the treat to drop out where she can get it. It will keep her spirits up.
Try using a spray bottle. Some people say rub their nose in it, but that is disgusting and you don’t have to put her through the trauma. I trained many dogs with a spray to the face and showing her the wet spot will telling her NO BAD GIRL. Know hitting because it just makes dogs resent you.
100% supervision
Train him… i love westie’s they look almost exsactly like Bishion Frise’s which i own a Bishion… thankyou very much =) it’s normal you just gotta train him that going in the house is bad.. hey seven months old… most human kids are still going in their diapers… (i wasnt) thank god lol… i was pretty quick.. lol
she maybe coming into season.
I agree,100% supervision,try not to tell her off,just keep putting her where you want her to go,try and catch her in the act so you can correct her mistake.
goodluck.
