  • I have a question can you actually potty train them, does it work, can they follow it, I'm getting a shih tzu puppy so I'm wondering if any one litter trained their puppy and if it work. Please answer it would be appreciated :)

  • @15leogirl im sure u can cause i got a puppy today i andim trying to train her to pee and poo in a spot.

  • I have a male Shih Tsu their hair is hard to keep up with. They are stubborn but lovable. Mine is not destructive. I have noticed he does not like to go for car rides, even in his kennel. He cries or barks when you leave for work or to go shopping. He is good and housebroken. I think he likes to have a companion, so we got a dachshund and they get along fine.

  • i got a shih tzu shes 7 years old and im still training her

  • I have a Shih Tzu im 10 years old. My grandma gave it to me. Her name is Zoe i think she is 2 years old but she is soooo sooo calm she never barks and all she does is lay. Sometimes she does bark but you really have to get her excited which is kind of hard. Does this mean my dog is very old or is she having a baby or she just calm or she has a disease? And she never licks unless you have food or sauce in your hand or she wants to be pet. Are all shih tzu's like this?

  • i have a shi tzu(zorro) and every time we eat he barks ,he jumps,he just wants our food.It has been lke this forever and i don't know how to train him how to rollover,he just hates to go on this back

  • i have an 8 week old shih tzu name bruno, i have been looking for a website to train shih tzu puppies, cause my bruno has a mind of his own

  • @dazjah00 omg me 2 his name is bruno also and he is a shihtzu

  • They may be stubborn but they are so attached to their owners that their need to please seems to overcome the stubborn streak. I have one who's very laid back and one who's very playful. They are well behaved but I haven't done much in the way of tricks...the breed is so cute who needs tricks?

  • i have a shih tzu we r working on her obedience training

  • In soviet russia, Shih tzu train YOU

  • @machadark LOL u sound like one of my friends for my school, in our fifth period he is always saying things opposite like, in soviet russia, dog walks YOU!

  • machadark,Baily, my shitzhu would love soviet Russia

  • You don't train a Shih Tzu......

    they train YOU.

  • @rkaasm only if you let em....

  • what a stubborn breed!!!Cute but stubborn isn't it??They think they are cats!

  • they do dont they ? very catlike

  • They really do! especially the females.They like to be near you, lay on you make you rub their tummy when your hands are close to them. They are so the most adorable dog ever!

  • @babyqirl oh yes yes! My Dottie Jean is 4 and she is so so so clingy! Any time I sit down she has to have at least one paw on me or lay on my lap and make me rub her bully.

  • @calicandela I know! I have a shih-tzu and she loves cat food and hates dog food, she plays with cat toys but won't play with dog toys, and she lets you hold her upside down! She totally thinks she's a cat! :P

  • I have 4 chih tzu 1 male and 3 females 2 that are 12 week old pups, None ask for the door I used to have the older ones sleep in my room until they started doing their business on my carpet so i had to go and get a crate to put them in at night now they hold it in and in the morning i let them out no more mishaps. But the pups also have a crate and they do it in the crate anyway one of them keeps eating her poo which is grosse! What do i do to make them hold on till am and stop eating poo.

  • My 16week old shih tzu has the same problem!! she keeps eatting her own poo and licking her own pee. At first we joke about it and like well at least she cleans up after herself, but it gets to a point where she stinks. We ask the vet he said its a nasty habit. He prescribed us something to eat with her food so her poo dont taste good.

  • By the way, I've never "slapped" a dog for any reason.

  • Have 19 month shih tzu male, neutered @ 6 mos., 7 weeks when I got him.

    Pee pads in every room to start. Took him to pad or same place outside every hour PLUS immediately every time he woke up PLUS within 10 minutes after he ate PLUS within 10 minutes after every playtime. NEVER gave free run of house til he was a year old. When left alone he was ALWAYS in small confined area (portable pen) w/pee pad even outdoors. Not one accident. Since 6 months he barks at door or goes to pad alone.

  • @cooleyedbabe - thanks for that info, my puppy is 9 weeks old and the person that I bought him from was using a litter box to train him. He goes using that but he makes his pee mistakes every now and then. I don't know how normal the litter box is but for him to be 9 weeks and about 80% trained that is good. I am gonna use your method along with mine, hopefully I will have good results. Did you have them on a schedule?

  • My Shi Tzu Is 1 Years Old And Hes Still Not Toilet Trained Its Really Ennoyin i Have Been Really Trying To Train Him But i Think Hes Just To Lazy To Listen To Me He Runs Behind The Couch When i Shout at Him For Goin Toilet On The Floor And i Always Bring Him To The Back Garden And i Bring Him Every 30 Minutes To The Same Spot And I Give Him Alot Of Praise When i Bring Him But He Still Gos On The Floor In The House

  • @kwlie you know i'm a little old skool and i have three dogs all potty trained and have had many through my life. wenever i've had a problem with potty training i always resort to a good slap on the rump. some people may think this is wrong or cruel but it is not hard enough to harm them. i still love them and sometimes apologize after but just hard enough to make them remember. lol believe me it works. they are not on the same intelectual level as us so sometimes words don't work. gntle but frm

  • maybe he doesn't KNOW how to tell you he has to go. every time you are going to take him out say "outside" and before opening the door show him to scratch it. never pick him up to bring him, then he would think that's how he will be taken out.

    signs he needs to go is sniffing around and/or circling an area. on a feeding schedule youll get an idea of when he will go, usually 5-30 minute after they eat. a walk after each feeding would be great but if you cannot pull that off then just watch him.

  • Shih Tzus are notorious for being difficult to house train. You MAY be able to train him or her, but there may still be that 5% of the time when your dog goes in the house. My shih tzu's 6 years old, and by 3, she still peed once in the house at least every week, if not twice a week, despite us having our own yard to let her out in. I suggest settling for a litter box with a doggy pee pad. It worked for us :) Especially if you live in an apartment...

  • My Shih Tzu turned 5 in October and he is STILL not fully potty trained. Its horrible. He'll go potty outside, then come inside and finish his business... I'm at a loss, I had my German Shepherd fully potty trained when she was under 4 months old!

  • the were giveing to the empires as presants trated like royalty thats why the r so high mantonansed in aying that a cant find a fault in my lucy

  • i think my shih tzu is sick, he kinda puked out green stuff which i dont know...

    im very worried.

  • maybe,ur shihtzu eat so much grass

  • I have a 4 yr old ShihTzu who is still piddling in the house. Even when I leave the doors open for him to freely amble outside, he'll still piddles indoors. I'm at my wits end, PLEASE, PLEASE, ANYONE GOT ANY HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS?

  • What I do with my shih tzu is stay outside with him for 20 to 30 minutesThen he has anough time to got to the restroom!

  • My Shih Tzu will not eat dog food. Ever since the first day we got him. I tried the old "he'll eat when hes hungry enough" thing by just leaving his food out. But he went days without eating! We brought him to the vet, and he said we better feed him something or else! So he eats people food. Over the years we tried to get him on dog food, but it was the same story everytime!

    Other than that, hes a great dog!

  • Maby you shpuld put people food in the dog food!He may start eating dogfood!

  • a have a shih tzu, a japanese shih tzu..

    nor i trained her how to shake hands with me using hand signs.. she was easy to train. What can be the next trick i can teach her?

  • i thought they were chinese??

  • they are.

  • They are, Chinese royalty bred them however the Japanese imperials and the rebel Chinese killed them and use them as coats. But few Japanese men took them home and bred them, and few English men took some and bred them. All shih tzus in the world are traced back all to the same 14 original ancestors. Mine so happens to be Tibetan.

  • can a 6 year old shih tzu, still have a capability to get pregnant???

  • they can get pregnant at 8years, but it might be some problems with the birth if they haven't been through it before.

  • is it just me or all Shi-Tzus never ever pee or poo inside my/your houses O=

  • We found a shih tzu on our backyard not too long ago. Little guy was clearly neglected. 18 months old never been groomed in his entire life, never been house broken. So we've got one of those plastic playpens for him where we put him and his litter box when he has an accident. If he uses his litter box or goes outside he gets a treat. We're down to 1-2 accidents a day comparing to the 10 when we first got him. He mostly uses that litter boxthough, which is fine with us.

  • and when i open the door and my shihtzu accident sneaked out , it wont come back when i called her, i had to chase her for hours..it happened many times, cany someone give me some advice? and i cant walk my dog without a leash..but ive seen pplz walk their shihtzu without an leash and they seem follow pretty tightly, plz HELP SOMEONE !

  • my dog got her first prd yesterday, it beeen bleeding everywhere in the house, espcially the carpet..what can i do about it? PLZZ HELP!!

  • uhhhh........it's called HEAT! get her spayed

  • My Shih-Tzu is 13, we didn't train him at all besides fetch, he was fine on a leash and didn't run., he didn't chew on stuff he never went to the bathroom in the house, it's really weird, now we have a 1 year old puggle, she took months of training, and get's on her brothers nerves, but he yells at her whenever she is having a frap, being to loud, or being to nosy, or if she bites me, if she bites me, lookout, your getting pinned on the floor Ms. Puggle, super smart,and obedient dogs, shih tzus!

  • after reading some the comments i see that it s mostly the same problems i had th e use my house as toilet , it was hard at first but i kept at it after 6 months my dog is trained i would also suggest , buying a few products to help , a rug cleaner(if you carpets), dog repellent spray for peeing, large puppy pads, and a cage for when you go out, so your house does not smell like a kennel, when you go out don't come back till they do the business at least twice they will get the message

  • Can a shih tzu be expected to sleeo thru the night without peeing? Say from 11 PM to 6 AM? 8 years old.Please help if you can.Thank you.

  • well me and my dog go to sleep from about 10PM till 8Am withought problem

  • puppy pads in large cage or puppy pads and newpapers under those in the bathroom, i can;t walk mine after hours either so i use this alternative

  • Definitely!!!

  • is 12 hours too much for a shih tzu not to go outside and pee? i overslept this morning and took him out at 11am (i took him out around 10-11pm last night), and i see no signs of him peen inside the house. or am i foolin myself lol? someone let me know, thanx!

  • no signs of him peeing*

  • My shih tzu would obey other people but it won't obey me. Wtf. :(

  • HAHAHA that's funny =P

  • Shit, I put my hand on the back of my Shih Tzu, and that bitch tweks like if it was high.

    I hate it!!!

  • haha i just got a shitzu i luv mine!!!

  • my shih tzu is 13 weeks old but the housebreaking is not going great right now!!.Either me or 1 of my kids take her out every 2 hrs or so, and she is in the kennel at night!.i give her atreat and praise her when she does go,What am i doing wrong?

  • its okay it will take time it took my shih tzu about a month or more. try getting a doggy door and it will help. we used to do what you did and now my dog just uses a door and rarely has accidents

  • Just be consistant and if you catch your Shih Tzu peeing or pooing dont yell but make a sudden noise like saying "no" quickly/sharply as they hate sudden noises. Dont yell as it really doesnt have too much effect on them, and constantly praise them "going" outdoors. Mine took time to walk downstairs and so I kept finding presents upstairs in my hallway, but a little encouragement and practice will help your dog be obedient. I can actually walk my dog with no leash and he will follow tightly.

  • My shihtzu hates the leash. What can I do to get her to walk with a leash??

  • try not to carry your dog wwhen you can avoid it, they very easily get used to not having a leash on. use a lease that does not choke and dont pull the dog. It really helps if there is another dog that in on a leash as your Shih Tzu can see "how its done"

  • my precious shih tzu is a spoiled jealous brat. LOL

  • we bought our shih tzu when he was 2months old its agood thing when we bought him he was pottie trained hes now 8months old but i need help on wat first tricks i should teach him?

  • I have one "Scribbles" which is now 8 months old, the most practical lesson/trick to teach a Shih Tzu is to wait/stay. I put a treat in front of him and wont let him eat it until I give the order, this comes in handy as I live in London and traffic can be hectic so its good to know that he will stay if I command. Also, when we get to a street corner he sits and waits for me to give the order to cross. They are smart dogs but very independant so teaching them early is wise and advised.

  • my shih-tzu is 8 years old.

  • i would say sit its easy and lots of trainers

    say the firt trick would be sit

  • I have a shihtzu and he is 7months now . i got him from mah local pet store. and we had him since he was 2months and he is poty trained he knows how to fetch but he wont eat his dog food he perfers our food. and my mom said that it is not healthy so we try diffrent foods but so far we found nuthin that worked

  • zomg no no no dont feed him your food

    give him nutro for puppies until he is 10 months old the bag even has a shih tzu on the front, give him only twice a day

    and dont leave the food there, give him in the morning and evenings if he does not eat take it away after like 10 or 20 min eventually it will eat and in mid day you can give him a snack
