    Help! westie will not house train

    Hi, Thanks for your emails. Well I can't say there is much improvement. We are as strict as we can be with him in terms of the plan, but sometimes we miss it. Basically, if he needs to "go" he just will, wherever he is. He does not favour a certain spot in the house, he is definitely not...

    Help! westie will not house train

    Thanks, Sophie. I know - I don't like pet shops selling any pets to be honest. I said I would never buy from one as I am aware that by doing that I am allowing puppy farms to carry on trading. Here in Dubai, they even drug puppies in some places so that they remain quiet in the shop. Awful...

    Help! westie will not house train

    Hi Sophie, Thank you so much for your response. I've not been at all comfortable with (as you say) that ridiculous schedule. So in terms of his crate, would you say that the only time he should be in there is either when he's not napping somewhere else, or I can't be in the same area as him...

    Help! westie will not house train

    Hi, I hadn't planned on buying Henry... we had gone to a dog show with the kids in Dubai (live here) and a pet shop was selling dogs. Henry had to be saved... I'm not saying they were a bad pet shop, but I just couldn't let him stay with them. So I bought him, got all his certificates and off...
