Shih
Tzu is a toy breed dog that is happy and sweet natured. This dog breed
absolutely loves attention and comfort and that is the reason they are ideal
companions for senior citizens. Shih Tzu is comfortable with other pets and
very seldom shows aggressive behaviour. It is a great pet to have as it does
not even require that much outdoor exercise and is less ‘yappy’ as compared to
dogs of other breeds.
Although
adorable and friendly, Shih Tzu is notoriously known for her house breaking
difficulties and grooming them can be a real task sometimes. There are many
things that should be kept in mind while caring for your Shih Tzu. Some helpful
tips are:
Grooming:
It
is important that you make sure that your Shih Tzu learns to accept grooming at
a young age. This will make the process easier for you as well as your puppy as
she grows older. You should use a soft, bristle brush to comb around the face
and head of your Shih Tzu and then use a large toothed comb for the rest of the
body. It is important to make sure that you pay extra attention to your dog’s
eyes as Shih Tzu has large eyes that make them more susceptible to gathering
dust. Make sure to clean the eyes with warm water and cotton. You should learn
how to inspect for nits, wax and also learn to trim her nails.
Bathing:
You
should begin the process of bathing your Shih Tzu only after he is of three
months of age. It is important to bathe him using special shampoos that are
used for dogs and the rinse using lukewarm water. Shih Tzu is a very sensitive
breed of dogs so you should make sure that you do not use any human products as
they may cause allergies.
House training:
This
is the part that requires a bit more patience as compared to other areas of caring
for your Shih Tzu. Shih Tzu training can begin immediately as soon as you
introduce her in your home. Shih Tzu breed is easy to train; you just need a
bit of patience. To potty train her; it is important that you guide her to the
designated litter area once she is done with her meal. Shih Tzu needs to be
taken to the designated potty area three times:
when she wakes up, after meals and before bedtime. It is important to
remember that puppies are younger than the age of six months require litter
breaks after every few hours.
The
best way to keep the memory of your Shih Tzu is to get a custom 3D sculpture of
him made. Arty Lobster guarantees that they can make a standard Shih Tzu statue
