Advice on westie bark & wee! :)
hi all,
I wonder if anyone has any advice on helping a four year old westie (or their thirtysomething owners? ) with some behavioural hints and tips? chloe has developed a habit of not being able to go through the night without going for a wee. even if she's let out late at night (last night, she went out at 11:30pm, up this morning at 6:30am) there's still a present on the tile floor in the morning. she's also taken a liking to my doormat in the lounge, which I think looks like grass and therefore must be okay to wee on in her mind. i'm led to believe she might have a weak bladder as she had to be spayed very young (her brother got a bit fruity too early) and the vet said that might not help her bladder control. if it's that and it's not her fault, does anyone have any suggestions? as a former cat owner (yes, boo, hiss, I know in a dog group!), I was considering just getting a litter tray so that at least it can be easily cleaned up if it's not her fault, but don't want to encourage either of the two of them to start going in the house. as if that wasn't enough, when we're out for walks, she's a nightmare barker. soon as she sees another dog, kids, people on bikes, she's off like a true terrier barking for England without any thought to the world around her or coming back. is she just overexcitable do you think or are there any suggestions for sorting either or both? many thanks in advance Jason |
