Shih Tzu Training
Shih Tzu Training: Just as parents of toddlers struggle with potty training, perhaps no aspect of your Shih Tzu training is more vital than successful housebreaking. Every child responds to different methods—for example, some are motivated by sticker charts and rewards while others could care less about such gimmicks but are desperate to wear “big kid” underwear—so don’t expect your Shih Tzu to respond to the exact training methods that worked wonders for another dog in a different household. By all means, listen to all the advice you can get and try the Shih Tzu training methods that you think might work for you and your dog, but don’t be discouraged if the fool-proof method you read about in a magazine doesn’t work like magic on your little friend.

For effective Shih Tzu training adapt the best ideas for your personality and your dog’s, and remember to be patient. It can take months to train human children in the preferred methods of elimination, and your Shih Tzu will most likely master the concept much more quickly.

One of the most popular methods of Shih Tzu training is crate training. Some dog owners abhor the thought of confining their dogs in a kennel crate, and dogs can be successfully trained without using one. However, for many dog owners, especially those who must be gone from home for several hours to work, they can be lifesavers (and furniture savers and shoe savers . . .). Dog owners training Shih Tzu for the first time are often pleasantly surprised at how quickly their dogs take to their crates and how much they enjoy spending time there. Many if not most dogs have a natural desire for a safe den. However, a dog crate must be used properly to be effective and humane. You want your Shih Tzu to consider her crate as her own personal den. It should never be used to punish the dog. Most likely, if you position the crate in an area of your home that is near the action and leave the door open, your dog will often visit her crate on her own just to hang out and feel safe, especially if he is feeling overwhelmed by too much activity or noise in the household.
