1st advice:
shih zhu cons is cannot live alone..never ever leave ur shih tzu alone for very long time in dark place.mine died because of that when try to come out of cage,head got stucked.we left her in her cage.my stupid maid lock the door and off the light.after 2 hours found her dead.god bless her soul.very sad
2nd advice:scould ur dog whenever bite ur finger.squeeze behind her neck like cat does for kitten to show u mean serious...spray the special solution to indicate to the dog where not to pee or poo
3rd advice: when she pees /poo at the correct place,praise her and give her treats ( this takes paitence)
4th advice: groomers did mention need suqeeze backside of shih tzu to make sure all is clear..eheheh but i dont do that.but commen sense if u see piece shit still stuck there,clean with warm wet cloth
5th advice: ur dog jumping wants to play with u.biting is also playing..firmly say no and beat her backside...

good luck

in my opinion shih tzu are one of the gullible dogs around;p very greedy.do anything for food

we never leave her alone for long time without lights close.that day got lots of guest came over.and the maid forgotten got dog there and closed the doors and light...had a bad feeling halfway thru the meeting but noticed that the door locked.the maid clamly just said later la open...then i grab the keys and open only to find the horror..how come the head can stick out while the cage is still close...sigh

careful she is bullying u

ya she cried also refuse to let the dog go...we had to burry the dog the same day...
