How Can I Get My Dog Back From My Sister In Law, She Is Just Watching Him?

I bought a westie puppy for my husband and recently he went crazy and ran off, so I was stuck with the not housetrained puppy. His sister offered to train him for me and watch him, so I obliged. He has been at her house over a month and she has not said anything about giving him back, but she and her husband have been adamant that they do not want to keep him because they dont like terriers. I told her that I dont want to give him to them, because he is my husband’s and I paid alot of $$$ for him. Since she has had him she has neglected his vet care (but didnt ask me to come get him until yesterday), changed his dog food to something very, very bad.
My husband paid 100 for dog training and she didnt take him when I told her it was, and she the trainer offered to retrain him and she told her “no thank you, dont have time” without notifying me first (so $$ down the drain). I have hinted that I really miss the dog, but she has not given him back yet. What do I do?!

What Can I Do To Stop My Westie From Going On The Floor At Night?

He is house trained and has been for over a year. My 11yr old insists on having him in the bed with her but doesn’t respond when he wakes her to take him out. Instead of waking me he either goes on her floor or in my little one’s room. Normally if I’m awakened by the jingle of his tags its too late. I’ve found that when I simply tell him “no pee-ing on the floor” in a stern tone he won’t do it. He reverts right back to it if I don’t “speak” to him about it nightly.
I don’t know if I’m fortunate or unfortunate that he is really smart. Is there anything I can do besides crate him at night?

I’m Thinking About Adopting A Three Legged White West Highland Terrier From The Humane Society?

So I went to the Humane Society yesterday and I was browsing around and met some small dogs that I was interested in. basically Chihuahuas. However, there was a dog that was in the same kennel as the chihuahua. a mixed terrier; i think it was a white West Highland Terrier Mix. anyway, I asked about the dog. He is 1 year old, got hit by a car, and lost his back leg, meaning he only has three legs now. After hearing his story, I was soooooo saddened. So now I’m home and
I’m thinking about adopting a three legged white West Highland Terrier from the Humane Society. He seemed really sweet when I came over to look at him in his kennel. I was wondering, is there anything three legged dogs can’t do? I am really serious about adopting it, but I need to know what I’m getting into first.
A little about me:1st time pet owner (never had pets before), have been doing tons of research about regular dogs (but beginning to research more about 3 legged ones), very ready to give love to a dog in need.

How do I stop my dog (5 yr old Westie) from urinating on the couch? She is house trained and does not have a bladder infection (just had her check out at the vet with a urine sample).

How Do I Stop My Puppies From Urinating In Their Crate???

I’ve been crate training my 8 month old yorkie/westie mix and she’d been doing perfect until a few weeks ago when my cousin “forgot” to let her out to pee. Now, she keeps on peeing in her crate even if i only keep her there just to run to the store! Someone please help, as I bought the crate so I wouldn’t have to clean anything up anymore… and now it’s pointless!
