What happens if you deliberately ignore a puppy?
Deliberate ignoring confuses and stresses a puppy, causing attention-seeking acts like barking, destruction, or accidents, plus hiding and over-grooming, and breaks trust. It also slows training; brief ignoring is fine but not too long.
Why does a puppy lick its owner’s feet?
A puppy licking feet may show love and closeness, seek attention, or signal hunger. Licking releases a hormone that relaxes and pleases it; it may lick for attention when ignored, or to remind you to feed it when hungry.

Westies bark out of alertness, pent-up energy, attention-seeking, seasonal restlessness, or as a sign of pain. The good news is that barking is manageable: daily exercise, a "quiet gets rewarded" system, desensitization to common noises, early socialization, and ruling out health issues all make a big difference. A sudden change in barking paired with other symptoms can signal discomfort and warrants a vet visit.
