Shih Tzus are not guard, hunters. But they may retrieve balls for you to throw. They are bred to do one thing. They are companion dogs who give love to the world. They’re best at being a lap dog. They’ll bark to alert you that someone is at the door.
Intelligent dogs, Shih Tzu like learning. They may take a little more time during training, and housebreaking can be a problem that requires perception and consistency on your end.
A Shih Tzu needs a daily walk. Play will take care of a lot of its exercise needs. Dogs that do not get to go on daily walks are more likely to display behavior problems. Do not overfeed this breed or it will quickly become fat.
Keeping the Shih Tzu coat gorgeous is demanding. Daily brushing and combing is necessary to prevent tangles, as is frequent bathing (as often as once a week). In fact, many a Shih Tzu lover gives up and hires a professional groomer to clip those long locks short.
