In this episode of the Westies and Besties podcast, host Alex Griffin engages with dog trainer Carolina and Lee of Play 9 to discuss the challenges and joys of training West Highland White Terriers (Westies).

The conversation covers the importance of early training, understanding canine behaviour, the significance of nutrition, and the impact of poor breeding practices. They emphasize the need for effective communication between dogs and their owners, the role of mental stimulation, and the importance of educating families about dog interactions.

The episode also touches on the emotional aspects of introducing new dogs into a household, especially after the loss of a previous pet, and the rewarding nature of making a positive difference in dogs' lives.
