Take the newspaper, soak 1 piece with her pee, let it dry then place at the area you want her to pee at. Then when the next time she looks like wanna pee, quickly bring her to the place and let her smell the newspaper.

i faced all ur problems b4 when i bought bobo last month..exactly the same problems

1. if u jz put the newspaper she wont know tats the spot to pee/poo 1 coz she never trained b4. so u muz soak some of her urine onto the newspaper n let her smell it. so nx time she wanna do her biz she wil smell tat spot n settle there lo. if stil cant den u hav to keep an eye on her d. whenever u c her wanna pee/poo faster grab her to the newspaper. after she pee/poo on the newspaper hav to sayang her 1. den she knows wat she did is right. bobo took few days to learn..hope ur pup can learn faster oso ya. if not kinda headache huh..

2. like wat crazymouse_yyh said, if u dowan to let her sleep in ur room den don bother when she barks. if its ok she sleeps in ur room den y dont juz let her..i tot it wil b better for ur pup to sleep wit the owner

3. i duno eukanuba good onot er..but frm those dog food reviews on the web normally the most common n good dog food r like Canidae, Innova, Orijen, California Natural etc. if ur pup used to eat tat brand d n bring no side effect juz stick to it lo. check on the ingredients..if suitable for ur dog den ok gua

4. the body smell prob as for bobo is bcoz of her ears. last time i duno hav to clean her ears 1..after i knew d i clean her ears everyday. now no more smell..u try to check c where is the body odour comes frm k..

juz some sharing..im stil learning as well..welcome to the shih tzu family~

*Back of BoBo after i bath her jz now*

yaya, hiouse breaking do need a lot of time and patience...
Like my FIFI lah, wif me 1 month already, still make mistake.
THe first pee everyday (release from crate in the morning after a nite sleep), sure will go to the exact pee spot to pee,no need guide, no mistake.
When its play time, let her roam freely in the house, she'll pee on the floor sometims when no one is monitoring her, which is a headache.....sometimes even poo on the floor.....
Well anyway, i just repeat and repeat the same step each day loh, wat 2 do.............coz they'll give u those innocent look, makes u wanna angry for long time also cannot.

potty training.... yeah...
we have to be alert at all times when training them... hahaha
whenever ur pup wants to go oni u must quickly bring him to "the spot"
after countless times of repeating the same thing... they'll eventually know that...
hehehe now all i have to do is... jasper!! on the newspaper......
then he knows n he will go there n do his deposit

Yea.. I also did like what burag0 said.. whenever he wanna pee poo, i faster faster carry him to the newspaper.. after repeated a few times, i'll show him the way by calling his name instead of carrying him.. later he will know where to pee poo..

my boy doesn't like wet floor esp toilet.. now i let him out at my car porch every morning and evening for him to pee poo.. gotta say 'boy, go shh shh n ng ng'.. then only he will go out pee poo.. otherwise he will tahan.. kekeke... toilet training really need a lot of patient and consistency..

btw, what happen to shih tzu gathering? like no news de..

how come it only takes u guys few days to housebreak but it takes me months to housebreak my shih tzu and in the end, da process still fail ?!

shih tzu gathering ar..who goin to in-charge?? i can assist oni..gotta work on weekdays cant fully in-charge of it o..any volunteer??

same like u, 1 month liao, just partially success...........

urs is partially successful but mine is totally unsuccessful. He can neva go back to his playpen to pee poo one. Only noe how to do so when he's locked in his playpen.

a short clip of nicky, doing nothing


just got the Royal Canin sample from jtl, hope he will finish his food later

thanks for d info...i think she manage to pee on d newspaper dy...but she still can't poo on newspaper la... one more thing...she only pee once on d same newspaper...if i din change d newspaper...she won't pee on that old newspaper which with her pee...is this common things???

normally the pup wil pee on the same spot no matter u change the newspaper onot, i think as for the poo u can try to put a small piece of her poo underneath the newspaper or mayb wipe abit of the poo poo wit newspaper den let ur pup smell on it. i did tat to train my pup..n it works

but last time my doggie didn't pee poo on the same spot. He kept changing spots .

i dunno y la..she jz wan me change d newspaper she only will pee there....

wwwah85, my boy also like urs... he dun like to pee on the same newspaper.. he wan clean newspaper..

same lah.....my fifi knows where to pee one, but if the newspaper is wet, she dun wanna pee there, will purpose go other place to pee.
So now i change to a cloth instead of paper for pee. At least it can absorb around 2 - 3 times of the pee. Then after that, she wont pee there again, need to dry it or change another one, then only she'll pee there....hai...........

wahh..like tat if working how ar? hav to stand by all the time to change the paper wor..

i also working weekdays and sometimes weekends but i can help also...wanna get the ball rolling? what u want to do during gathering?where to meet suggestion and date... jasonnn the threadstarter has taken note on our sugesstion and will try to upload more info..

joanna, u use a piece of cloth ... then u need to hcange ur cloth few times a day lor ?? THen u handwash ur cloth?? Very gelik ler - need to touch the wet cloth soaked with urine - so gross

no lah.....i change the cloth everyday. THey pee on the cloth, then the cloth abosrb all the pee mah. Eventhough they step on it, the dry part of the cloth can still absorb the pee from their leg, not like newspaper.........
The duration between one pee to another pee is almost enuf for the cloth to dry up lah.
Washing the cloth is like washing clothes lah....later u'll need to wash ur child's napkin, same lah, haha................
