They can be aggressive towards dogs that are the same sex, but males are known to be more docile and females more dominant. West Highland White Terriers are good with children who are older, as well as kids of other ages, however, they should be supervised as Terriers can snap if annoyed.

Other concerns common to West Highland Terrier training, as well as Scotties and other terrier breeds, are digging, chasing, and aggressive behavior. These little dogs were never bred to be pets, but rather to hunt down and kill vermin. Never encourage your terrier's natural behavior by engaging in aggressive play.
