For Dog Only

The basis for the formation of any shih tzu is winning its trust, confidence and respect. The actual training can not begin until the Shih Tzu has accepted you as their leader, respects you and entrusted you with their confidence.

The mistake of many shih tzu puppy owners to do is confuse love and affection for respect and trust. While it is certainly important to love your new Shih Tzu puppy is also very important that the Shih Tzu about you and see him as their leader. Dogs are naturally pack animals, and every dog looks to the lead dog for advice and direction. Doing the same pack leader is vital to the success of the formation of any dog.

The failure to gain the respect of the Shih Tzu can create a Shih Tzu who is disobedient, out of control and even dangerous. Problem shih tzu are dangerous, whether made through rude, owner ignorance or improper training. It is important to train the shih tzu right from the start, since retraining a Shih Tzu problem is much more difficult than training a shih tzu puppy right the first time.

It is important that any new owner of Shih Tzu, if you work with a puppy 12-week-old Shih Tzu or twelve year old shih tzu dog, to immediately get the respect of animals. That does not mean using inappropriate methods of handling or dangerous, but that means letting the dog know you are in control of the situation. Shih Tzu need structure in their lives, and does not bother the owner to take control. As a matter of fact, the Shih Tzu appreciate the role of trainer and coach at the beginning of your workout.

When working with the Shih Tzu, it is important to keep training sessions short at first. This is particularly important when working with a young shih tzu puppy, shih tzu puppies since they tend to have levels care much shorter than the old shih tzu dogs. Keep training sessions short, and fun, is essential for proper training.

From training sessions should focus on the most basic commands. The heel command is one of the most basic, and one of the easiest to teach. Start by putting the shih tzu dog or shih tzu puppy in a properly fitted training collar. Be sure to follow installation instructions and the size of the color for ensure it will work as planned. Start walking and let your Shih Tzu to walk beside you. If the Shih Tzu starts to pull, pull the strap. This in turn push neck formation and correct the dog. If gentle pressure is ineffective, you may need to slowly increase the pressure. Always be careful not to over-correct Shih Tzu. Using too much pressure could frighten the Shih Tzu and make the strain more. If the problem occurs otherwise and the Shih Tzu is left behind, the landlord must encourage gently until you are walking beside his owner.

Most shih tzu Figure heeling concept fairly rapidly, and quickly realize that they must walk beside their owners, neither lagging behind nor pulling ahead. Once your Shih Tzu has mastered heeling at a moderate pace, the owner should slow its pace and allow the Shih Tzu to adjust along with it. The owner must also accelerate the pace and allow the Shih Tzu to accelerate well. Finally, walking along and changing pace often reinforce the lesson that the Shih Tzu should always walk on the heel of the driver.

Heeling, the next step should be to end the command. This command stop work and complement heel. As you walk, stop and see that Shih Tzu. Many Shih Tzu immediately realize they are expected to stop when its driver ago. Others may need a reminder of the leash and collar training.

After discontinuation of the command has been mastered, the Controller should encourage the Shih Tzu to sit on command as well. Once your Shih Tzu has stopped, the driver pushed gently in the back rooms of the Shih Tzu to encourage the sit. Normally, after this walk tall, sit procedure has been done a couple of times, the Shih Tzu starts to sit in their own time each stop. Of course it is important to provide a great compliment, and perhaps even treatment, every time the Shih Tzu does what he expected.
