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?

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). I believe its behavioral problem but do not know why she has urinated twice (once on my couch and once on the chase). She does not urinate inside. Thanks.

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!

We have tried sprays, noises, plug ins, and reward but with no success. Has anyone got a solution please – mainly she barks when a squirrel comes into the garden, at just about all birds, and trees being blown by the wind. This causes her to get very stressed. Even the vet can’t suggest anything else other than going back to training classes. Any sensible ideas would be welcome. She is as good as gold at any other time,.

Help Me Housebreak My Westie And Get Her To Stop Urinating When Greeting People?

I have a westie, she is 7 months old. I have had her 5 months. I have tried crate training and she would pee and poop where she sleeps and eats–she eats her poop. I clean her mess and tell her bad girl – you should go outside (she knows what outside means). She doesn’t go in the same spot – she goes where it hits her.
I have 4 dogs and she is the only one under 30 lb., my other dogs were housebroken before they were 5 months old. Is training small dogs different? She is not dumb. I have taken her to the vet there is nothing medically wrong with her. I do believe that she came from a puppy mill and had to eliminate where she slept and ate. I had been Adolph’s meat tenderizer on her food and she stopped eating her poop – but seems to have started again. After working with my vet and going through the ID diet, I feed her Nature’s Recipe Lamb and Rice puppy food.
I love my puppy but NEED HELP WITH HER HOUSEBREAKING AND URINATING WHEN SHE GREETING PEOPLE. HELP HELP HELP !
