that is very typical of the breed. They are trained to go in tunnels underground and go after their prey, alone. They need to be hard headed/ determined to follow through and do it alone. If you need help, go to an obedience course and the trainer can help you. It is key that your dog sees you as the pack leader and stays calm and submissive. not an easy feat for a westie.

Yup they are well known for it as the rest of the terrier class. I always say the saddest day in my westie life was when he figured out, I was more stubborn & hard headed than him. This is key in dealing with terriers. Since I am so stubborn & hard headed, I get along great with them & specialize in grooming them. You have to outlast them & when you say No, you have to mean No & stick with it no matter how long it takes. References : 30yr of grooming & westie owner
