Dog Owner’s Help To Shih Tzu Training

Shih Tzu training is as critical and as practicable as training other breed of dogs.  Shih Tzu’s sometimes called Lion dogs are thought of as one of the oldest types of dog. 

Below are outlined Shih Tzu training guidelines to guide dog owners:

In housebreaking, decide what strategy to use.  Are you going to paper training him as you are too busy to take him outside every time he has to use the bathroom?  Decide which one works best for you and your dog. 

Then, train yourself.  To paraphrase, you must be well informed enough and know the easiest way to train your dog the technique you have selected. 

When he incidentally use the living room as his rest room, do not try to strike him or rub his nose on his own mess.  Physical punishment won’t correct him; instead will just make things harder. 

When it comes to obedience training, train your dog the basic come, sit and stay commands.  These basic commands are his fundamental components to other more involved obedience training and will help you develop a nice relationship with your dog. 

Use positive reinforcement.  Positive re-strengthening increases the possibility for a dog to exhibit the same behavior again;  It is composed of loving praise, pats and treats.  Giving of treats is an efficient way in dog obedience training.  But just make efforts to show and give the treat only when the command is already performed.  Showing of treats before giving the command is similar to bribing your dog to do it.  Your aim is to train him to follow commands as he loves and respects you as his leader. 

Whether you are on housebreaking or obedience training, give him correct diet.  Consult your veterinarian on the types and amount of food you need to give your pet.  It’ll also help if you are aware of what foods are to be avoided to reduce the likelihood of allergy and other food-related problems. 

These few tips appear to be so simple but will surely bring the best out of your Shih Tzu dog.  And what exactly you will get?  A Shih Tzu dog with human acceptable behavior and is great to be around.
