Neutering can bring so much good to the dog. Yes, it can lessen aggressiveness, dominance problem, territorial problems and also behaviour problems.

No... beating won't no do any good. You may end up destroying your close relationship with him.

What you need to do is brainwash him.

Here is 1 great way to try.

Get one of those puppy repellent spray. Get one which is safe, 100% natural and is edible. Take some human food, spray the repellent on the food and leave it on the floor. You have to brainwash your pup into thinking human food taste bad. For a few months, take your rubbish outside or hang it up high. Always leave bits of human food lying around but make sure you spray with the repellent.

Another way is hiding loads of pepper into the food. Say you take a piece of bread, in the center, place spoons and spoons of white pepper or chili powder, use the relly hot stuff. Then wrap the bread tightly and leave it on the floor. Your pup will learn better from experience and mistakes.... of course with this spicy method, make sure you got water around for it.

Another way is making unpleasant things happen when it touches human food. You can scare him. 1 way is place some food on the floor, then you hide some where. Once he touch the food, throw some tin cans near the food. Throw it hard so they bounce and make alot of noise.

Microchip, got 2.... 1 is for MKA and another is by another company that does it for identification purpose if your dog gets lost. Ask a vet, don't inquire from MKA....

Events and gatherings thread? Hmmmm.... will think about it loh..... must think of a system coz if too many replies that would be quite messy also.... see how lah hahahah.

Wah, such a nice looking bed.... too bad Chelsea only wants my bed, other things she doesn't want hahaha.

Oh, I saw this on Animal Planet a few days ago. Coz she hungry, she may have swallowed too fast, leading to indigestion so she had to vomit back out.

Yah, you have to feed her slowly if you see her eat fast. But did she eat fast fast? My Chelsea eat very slow.... 2 kibbles each bite....

Hehehe..... Chelsea is like Princess, spoilt by my mom lah. She ah, likes to be hand fed so always take 1 or 2 kibble at a time.... then if no one feed her, she will eat on her own but in a funny way. She will go to the bowl, grab 1 or 2 kibbles in her mouth, walk away about 2ft from her bowl. Lie down on the floor and eat. After she finish, she do the same thing. If she very hungry, she would not walk 2ft from her bowl but sit like half ft away. Stand, take food, sit and chew.... then do the same....

Wah, discussing puppy names, go find the puppy name thread lah. Shih tzu thread become name thread..................

Oh dear.... did you kidnap my shih tzu? LOL.... it really looks like my old boy... reincarnated ah?

Hahah... shih tzus can go up to 8kg lah.... to see fat or not, puppies normally at growing stage... so just check with a vet.

But 8 months, he should be his at his ideal weight. 5kg is good already. Why complain?

Anyway, black is not called blue.... Blue is a different shade, more towards grey.

Vet said overweight? Heheheh.... well, to test if overweight or not, look at your dog during bath. You can only see when your dog is wet. If the shape is round and roly poly, means overweight. If the shape can see like got waist, and if you run your fingers down the sides and you can feel the ribs a bit, means normal size. If you can see the spine bones jutting out, with the hip bones easily felt, means underweight. Normally this stage, can see the ribs clearly without even feeling with your fingers.

Hahaha... Avatar, that's my hamster Ceasar.

Yups, when on heat females can act more manja... Like Chelsea, she also easily merajuk hahahah..... for Chelsea, her appetite would still be the same but she will sleep more and keep cleaning herself alot also. Yups, the nipples would also be a bit swollen....

Dogs with beards and mustaches will always have stained fur. Well, it is their nature to eat and of course with food there would be staining. So the only way to lessen the staining is proper cleaning and grooming. If the beard or mustache is long, you can tie it away using rubber band or keep it away using a snoot. I tried homemade snoot before on shih tzu, this will only work for shih tzus with really long fur. Short fur useless wan.

Those dry dry brown bones ah? Those are raw hides... not healthy coz many dogs tend to swallow, this bone is hard to digest. It becomes soft and chewy when kena saliva, then dog sure swallow if the bone becomes small. Not long lasting also. Some of these bones made in China, use chemical and preservatives that are dangerous for dogs also. Better you buy Nylon Bone lah, safer and won't swallow whole bone wan.

Sodium Bicarbonate sold at those shops sell baking stuff lah LOL....

If asthmatic, get a poodle loh..... I'm asthmatic, but I'm not allergic to animals ahahahah...

Yah, shih tzus don't shed... but some people are still allergic to shih tzus... the best dogs to start with people with asthma are poodles. The best is try and see loh. Visit a shih tzu breeder, if start having breathing discomforts then it means the person is allergic.

Yah, poodles and maltese lah.... but among both, Poodles more recommended coz the fur is curly. It really depends loh. I'm lucky coz my asthma is not triggered by animal fur.... if it is, sure i no dogs now but snakes and geckos only LOL.

Coz wet kibbles produces better taste... erm, I dunno how to put it but the taste is more palatable to dogs and easier to eat than completely dry.

Yah, wet kibbles dirty the fur easily, then the mouth sure smelly.

Har? Borrow your XunXun to woo girl? Hahaha.... this is the 1st I have ever heard.... I heard before people bought dog to woo, but never borrow someone's dog before.... crazy lah. Tell him go fly kite better, girl will be more amazed at how high it flies LOL.

Tell him that loh LOL.... or can always go PAWS to adopt, sometimes there got shih tzu.
