West Highland Dogs – or Westies make for good pets at home because of their generally pleasant disposition. These dogs are also relatively safe to keep even with children in the household, although it would be preferable to have them if the kids are not below eight years old.

In order to have a well-behaved pet dog, the owner must assert authority as “pack leader” on his/her animal companion. This is a principle which in particular should be applied to West Highland dogs.

Many pet owners treat Westies as lap dogs but this could create some animal behavioral problems. By allowing such pets, for instance, to jump on one’s lap, the West Highland dogs would be conditioned to thinking that they owns that space and are superior members of the pack than their owner.
