Yap, agree intelligence of dogs are not so depends on the breed they are, even if they do, the major factor is still depends on the patience, consistency & attentions the owner able to provide.

Given the most intelligence dog with an owner without the above factors, then it would be a failure, the dogs wont learn anything anyway.

But given the not so obedient or slow learner dogs, with a pattionate owner, they are able to learn & improve with consistency.

just go to mph/popular and read up on dog training - foc haha.

it's impt to show the dog who is the dominant. you see your pet will treat you as part of the pack (dogs live in pack in the wild so it's the same with our domesticated doggy). therefore you must show you are the dominant pack leader - then they will fall inline and behave. remember you are the owner not the doggy control you

Yah, but nowadays lots of owners too sayang the doggies already, serve the doggies until they climb up our head, haha!

hi ahyap ....... welcome. pls feel free to contribute and share-share

on the part of doggy bully - remember the dog will see us as part of his/her pack so make sure you are the pack leader

hello to everyone too kakaka... i hav a shih tzu at home!! bt she dun lik to stick wit me.. no idea y T.T

i agree...tats why i alwaz show him im da master and he is not >.<
either throu shouting him or give him a light whack on his butt

Welcome AhYap!

What dog do you own?

I think i kena bully cos seldom scold him.. Treat him like king like tat. kekeke

Same here..one of my shih tzus doesn't like to be patted/hug.. call her come also she won't come unless I have food in my hand
But the other shih tzu likes to be carried and patted..will always come to me

hmm...if the puppy is trying to eat grass...is it a sign dat he is not feeling well and need to go pet clinic asap?

Sometimes, it is their instinct for them to eat grass in order to search for "natural remedy" when they are not feeling well.

they have personalities, some dogs when they're puppy, they dont really like to play with humans, they like to play among themselve. but if they're alone, they will come. but u must always let them know who's the master. i do have problem with my gf's doberman when he was a puppy, never listen to commands and extreamly plalyful. about a year later; now, he's matured and totally a loveable dog. and both our maltese, doberman and a cat seems to live in a happy family. seriously, the cat will want to pat the doberman, doberman will make noise calling for the cat, the maltese sleep together with the cat. who says dogs and cats fight?

hahaha
so cuteee ur doberman n cat

nole my shih tzu likes my sis more T-T sadddd.... duno y la really.. as alwayz im the one who bath n care for it

Not really, it actually depends how old your dog is. They tend to have an affinity with grass-eating, a trait that you should put a stop to as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you do have potted plants that's the next thing they'll graduate to eating. I used to have the same problem when I had a dog. Just say 'NO' in a commanding voice the next time you catch it munching on grass. Over time your dog will not eat grass. Unless your dog suddenly decided to be vegetarian.

Dun worry too much, your shih tzu might be looking for attention ma sayang more maybe will 'leave' your sis for you instead

Very good to hear that, hope Trump do bond well with you guys.
