I had a shihtzu for 17 yrs. She was the love of my life. Died a couple weeks ago. She was stubborn but loveable.

“Take away the item that’s not supposed to be chewed on” My Shih tzu chews on the wall 😭🤣

Ours is 16, stubborn,yes,but not an aggressive bone in his body,he's always been a love bug. Best dog Ive ever had.

I owned mine from 8 weeks. She lived to be 18 yrs old. Never was a problem cause I loved her, trained her and walked her everyday. I miss her sweet disposition. Her name was Annie. Everyone loved her.

I just adopted a lovely 1.5 year old male shih tzu/lhasa apso mix from a rescue shelter. He’s been alone for too long over very long periods and also lived in several homes and been giving up on as people couldn’t handle him which make him always feel abandoned. He has all these destructive behaviors but in an extreme way, it’s so bad he’s on medication to help him calm down but it doesn’t help much and I’d loved to help him without the need of it. He’s like desperate for attention and extremely needy. He’s scratching his claws against my skin, breathing fast, barking, whining and bite/nip. He also bite when I put on the leash, try to groom, touch him, play games etc. He’s barking a lot at the outdoor. This natural attention seeking behavior has become obsessive. I’ll do anything I can to give him another chance in life. He’s super stressed and hyperactive/energic and I take him for lots of walks (he’s much better outside, maybe because of the feeling of freedom), I play with him, give him mental stimulation indoor and training tricks. I got him home a week ago and I can already see some improvements but it has been tough and rely on giving him attention all day, he doesn’t relax if I don’t give all my attention to him (like I can’t even focus on making myself some food so I haven’t been eating much these days) or we are outside where it’s more for him to explore, but he can now sleep through the whole night in my room with me except sometimes suddenly barking for nothing and it’s hard to make him stop. First two nights he even didn’t let me sleep out of what I believe was boredom and insecurity. He scratched up my skin and I had to sleep with shoes and outdoor clothing for protection. They were even talking about letting him go as his separation anxiety and extreme stressed behavior is bad for him, he definitely isn’t happy, but I don’t see him as aggressive (only towards bigger dogs at walks), but to me his more needy and wants to play and be loved. (Showing it the wrong way with nipping and scratching and it’s more desperation than angry). I don’t think he has learned much. But now he also lets me touch and cuddle him more and more and I can tell he’s enjoying it. Only wish he would let me groom him as his fur is very tangled up and must hurt. I will do anything to be patient and fulfill his needs, I always stay calm, I’m never mad at him, if he bite/nipping I stand up and stop for a few seconds or if it gets out of control I make a high pitched sound like a pup and it helps a little, and I always and only focusing on positive rewarding with treats and cuddle when he act good and I try my best not to correct him in any way which could make the situation worse but when the barking gets out of hand and not even the sound of a box with treats can get him out of it I have to do everything at once like say his name, snap my fingers, shake the treat box like crazy and making myself VERY interesting😆 I’m his last hope. Do you believe I can save him and give him the home and love he deserves? Will he eventually get more calm as I gain his trust? He licks my face so I want to believe he’s starting to like me. He’s very lovable and misunderstood little furball and I’m so glad he came to me as I’ll never leave him😢❤

I have had three Shih Tzus and each one had it's own personality. All three were easily potty trained and did not have a barking issue unless they need water or used a pee pee pad and wanted it changed. Shih Tzus are the best.

Another common problem is separation anxiety. If you left them alone for more than 3-4 hours, they might become quite destructive.

I’m not sure why because I’ve never taught my littleAbby one thing but she does none told these things. I get excited if I can get her to bark. She the sweetest most loving little dog I’ve ever seen. She’s a blessing ❤.

Shih tzu the cutest dog in the world

Mine is only 3 months old. He never appreciates cage. He don't usually barks but if he stays in the cage too long he will cry or bark incessantly. He play bites all the time sometimes it hurts. But all in all he's very gentle, sweet, he follows me everywhere. We have american bullies too and he's cool with them. I never thought shih tzu would be so loving. ❤

I haven't had any problem with my shih Tzu he's 13 years old and he's just the sweetest dog I've ever had.

My boy is perfect, joyful, happy, fun, and loveable

My Shih Tzu, use to pill on my socks, and shoe laces. When I was getting ready for work. She was so spoiled, and so much fun. I miss her dearly.

My dog loves everyone and he is very obedient.

Shih Tzu are the best and cutest dog in the world. I ❤them.

Never use noise as a part of training. If you use noise as a training distraction, the dog will develop a fear of noise.

Thank you for posting this Vdo because this helps my shih tzu to stop chewing random things for example a old pipe on the beach with shells on it 😅

My dog Fredo is half-Shih Tzu and half-Maltese, but he really just looks like a Shih Tzu. He does some of these things, but not others. For one thing, he has always barked like crazy, especially if there is a dog walking by outside or he doesn't get his after-dinner Dentastix treat on time. We tried the coins in the can trick early on, but he only barked more, haha. I always thought the barking was from the Maltese side, but I guess it is also a Shih Tzu thing. He does beg for food, but sometimes by barking, other times by crying. As for aggression, I mentioned he barks at dogs outside from inside the house, but if he's face to face with another dog (even one smaller than him), he wimps out! He's not perfect, but he's perfect for us.

Mine doesn’t bark unless excited to see me only lol 😂after a long day of work I love it ! Let’s talk about potty training !

This is soooo adorable. Thank you! Love my fur baby.

I have a shih tzu, when she was younger she rarely barked but she started barking excessively recently, she became very reactive, idk the reason there's no changes in our home to cause her stress or anything. The vet told us she's healthy.

I've had mine for 9 days and he is 9 weeks old. Bless his heart, he is beautiful and loving but soooo defiant. He has just found his voice but doesnt bark much. Potty training isn't going very well, he chews my carpet, harasses the cat and his "nips" feel like a painful pinch. I've never had such a time training a puppy but I'm watching and reading everything I can get my hands on!

Thanks for the post my family doesn't have any behavior problems with our babies. They're part of the family and they tap on our thighs whenever they need to go out to do their business. I have seven babies back home 2 cute and adorable peek a poms, 2 adorable shih tzu, Dobermann, German shepherd and rottweiler. I love them all deeper than my life medical student Malaysia. God bless.✌🙏

Mine does none of these things . He was potty pad trained in a week . He was 8 weeks old then . He is the sweetest little boy. 💙🐾

My shitzu is PERFECT!!! Wouldn’t change a thing!!!!!

My shih tzu started to continue taking my shoes. but i understand her i love her and dont need to yell at my own puppy❤ shes too cute to be mad at

Mine only barked at weird noises - the postman had a squeaky front brake plus we had the icecream truck who delivered boxes using a bell to ding ding ding ding announce he was around. He roamed our streets for an hour as the dog barked at the noise. In the good old days we had paperboys - kids who delivered / sold weekend papers but blew a whistle to let you know they were there. He used to bark to tell my father who was there for him to get a paper. He knew my car's sound & would bark if he heard my car. Strangers to the house were given a surprise as when he heard the door bell ring he would bark.

Cute dogs

Thank you for sharing tips on how to solve behavioral problem on our shih tsu💕

Many thanks i will try

Mine didn't! He never barked,tried to talk though,,hee was extremely well behavedd,NEVER NIPPED OR BIT,EVER.

Lives every one she meets, no problem except when i puts on my coat, she feels she can come but not always so i say no no , and its ok with her than she go and stay with her mates always brings back something 4 her ❤

Very very helpful I'm a new mom of shitzu

I could never ignore my bubby boy for 5min!! And I couldn't bring myself to ever end his fun

I appreciate your videos and gorgeous Bella. We have a Shorkie (Shih Tzu/Yorkie mix) and his behavior shows a lot of Shih Tzu-dominant attributes. He has an 8 year old Chihuahua/Dachshund sister. Our biggest problem he can be vicious when we try to groom him. I'm working on it but probably need a pros help! Great channel.

My shistzu Rosie is 14 and the only one of these traits she has is the barking other than that she's perfect

Our 4 month pup does the chair jump/stares at us and does a low pitch growl when we eat. Need to try your tips. Thanks.

I adopted my little Loki and he ......... he is number 1-7. He's pretty good with the peeing in the house, he pees on his little pee pad.

Mine barks at everyone he sees while on walks or in the car if I take him with me somewhere and leave him for a few minutes it sounds like someone is terrorizing him lol and he barks when he sees other dogs but barks mostly at people 😅the neighbors are all afraid of my little baby boy lol but I love him to pieces and I could not live without him he is my heart ♥️ 🐶

Whew mine is a bitter when hyper, but super easy to house train

Omg my shihtzu puppy has all these traits. This was so helpful. I have a 12 year old shihtzu too but it wasn't this difficult . Thank you so much

Im early again woohoo🎉

Mine never bark for no reason and never chewed things just his squeek toys, he likes to pee in the house even if he has just gone outside. Pee pads help alot and he stays on them. Begs alot lol. He rarely jumps on anyone has done it maybe 2 times. He has some aggression when he is in fear or with sudden movements near his face , sorry groomers lol... 8 years and Buddy my Shih Tzu is just that!! My Buddy.

My Lully is very smart and well mannered for the most part . Our main issue is number 3 he snuck and ate candy chocolate about a month ago Thank God nothing happened I’ve always had animals that were odd lmao. He’s potty trained BUT he’s stubborn and gets in modes where he refuses to use it outside and will literally roll his neck and talk shit just to use it in the house and look like a sad shelter dog when he’s sent to his crate smh.

I love my rocky road he is the best

Mine react on walks only to certain dogs…. Weird. No potty issues, little barking. Quiet begging so we ignore- most of the time.

Thank you very much !!! I been having problems whit my little one … she is being very agresive biting my hands like she is mad at me …

I guess I got lucky with my Shih Tzu. He was potty trained in one day. Seriously. He rarely barked. Never bit. He was super affectionate. He always followed my lead with people he didn't know. Yes, I am partial. But I also know the truth. He was a super good boy.

If these aren’t the traits of my Bella!

My Betty Boop ❤️s living up to her name She wants to be loved ❤ by nobody else but mom🎉

Cute po nng aso mo maam

My Shih Tzu was toilet trained at 10 weeks old. He’s now 3 1/2 and he’s never done his toilet business in the house. At 6 months old, he stopped doing it in the garden as he sees the garden as an extension of his home. When he needs the toilet he’ll go to the front door (wanting to go out) but never the garden because that’s where he plays.

My Shih Tzu eating olives that drops from my olive tree and she's jumping on the couch and she's adorable lol

Best treat??

Dommage que votre vidéo ne soit pas traduite en français, merci

I got a girl called Lola which is a Shih Tzu, she's really energetic and everytime someone passes my house she barks because she thinks they're going to harm us 😂❤

What to do against stealing shoes?

Mine is 2 & sometimes gets bad & bites, not sure what to do

My pet get aggressive while petting her or showing her love every time she get aggressive so much and never stops barking and start attacking

Mine is adorable but pees in the house even right next to pad!?! Very frustrating. He also growls at me if I try to talk or play with him when he is plopped on dad lol ? Can't figure out why??

My Little girl Faith is so beautiful and sweet.She also has Sisters that are a St. Bernard, a German shepherd, and a Samoyed. The only problem I have is she is a fussy eater I have gone through many high-end Dog Food’s I bought her she likes them for a couple of days and then forget about it. Thank God, I have three other garbage disposals that have four legs😊. if anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate it. Other than that she is a Joy ❤❤❤️❤️Love Her and her Sisters. O did I mention she plays with one of my cats there Best Friends 🤗

we acquired a shih Tzu in May, almost a rescue dog situation. Molly is very cute and loves people. But we have never owned this breed. we have a Chihuahua he is 14, and we have had dachshunds, goldens, and other larger dogs. not used to such anxiety!!! she was just over 1 when we got her. she loves men, and loves my husband. we cannot get her to stop jumping on us constant when coming in door, she was supposed to be potty trained but uses mats sometimes will not go outside even when we put them out. Chip the Chihuahua, will go to door but he is senile and just sometimes drops as he walks this is a deterent to training. Here is my big concern. My daughter just had a baby. Molly has crowded and tried to get close to our new baby Violet. my daughter has a pit, so she has tried to just introduce her to violet. but Molly's demeanor is not just crowding, in anxious, but she is almost wanting to hurt her. I have not come up on this. we are attached to Molly for our short time here. But i am about to become Violet's full time care. We are 67 year old's and we are already trying to afford to get her into training. but i am quite concerned about how to do all of this. can this be trained out of her? Thanks for answering

mine barks at everyone who's near our house but when he's outside, he's a baby

Our shihtzu doesn’t like to be alone.

The only issue I've had with my shih tzu is the BITING! I have no idea how to break it! I've tried the distraction with a toy but maybe I didn't try hard enough with it. Help please 🙏🏻😢

My shihtzu is angry with me, what to do so he becoms friendly again

My shitzu is amazing,, self trained service dog for my seizures,, doesnt bark at all unless hes alerting of oncoming seizure. Doesnt chew on anything except his toys.. never potty trained him, he literally learned on his own since birth.. i got him at 3cweeks due to a shady seller who was supposed to keep him with the mom for 2 months.

Bitte gibt es kleine Deutsche Beitraege ueber shihtzu???

My shihtzu barks a lot 😅 Well he does everything it says in the video 😅.

But sadly after 4yrs of mistreatment it ain't easy to retrain so I didn't I there is a very sad life story my Miss Bella lived before I saved her from a bullet she looked like I'm not sure when I first got her but after 4 baths and lots and lots of mud she was an apricot and white can't say the same for everything in the bathroom including door mirror window handbasin and that mud pit which was my bathtub even the ceiling didn't get left out but after all of that she knew she was home and not in a run with a hunting dog that they shot in front of her inside the Run and she was next she killed a chook for f/sake and she was put down on 23 March 2023 at the vet Cancer kills every thing

My shihtzu bites a lot at night

My shihtzu never showed any of these prob.

Adorable dog.. for me it's not pet but child 😔

I have a babby

Mine one always barks whenever we play with him. Pointing him with his toys, he becomes aggressive and barks loudly.

If u listen to this video be ready to be treatless treats for everything u going to turn ur little shih tzu into a small house

They are aggressive towards kids as well.

Mine squels like a little piggy when he wants something

My Tzu is 10 year old rescue and still barks at anything.

Wow. My Shih Tzu is nearly perfect. He has never displayed any of those issues. His real problems are that he has been super spoiled and indulged. That is my fault. I may need some retraining. 😉

Cute..hair is hiding its eye..😢

i have my shih tzu-Pomeranian non of that 7 behavioural problem have

Can i leave him for 3-5 hoyrs 😢 cause i have to go to the school

Mine had none of this behavior. Mine is just a picky eater and that’s my only complaint

You do msa video I know your voice

My shitzhu was aggressive he always try to bite me

How can v stop eating too much ...?

These stuff that she is talking about is every dog’s behavior so if your watching this video and you have a different dog this will happen also so I don’t get why she made this video saying only shih tzu like does your dog bite you? Does your dog number one in the house?

Hlo guys ..I am a shitzu puppy ..❤❤❤❤❤

It won't work in firm voice

this film confuses. Bribing and training

Mine growls at me and has bit me! He's a rescue and has been abused. I've had him two years don't trust him. Don't know what to do!😢😢 I would never hit him.

I came here because im desperate 😂

Mine eats it poo.. it’s disgusting I’ve tried everything to no avail

I also have a Shihtzu, trust me I fixed all the problems with one solution, A Slap. Love your pet unconditionally. Let your pet know When will you get angry, They will adjust their behaviour for you and others accordingly...this method sounds a little awkward but it works For me😊

Jesus loves you and good job ❤️ Jesus is coming soon it’s time to repent he loves you all But not the sins it’s now time to repent the KING IS SOON TO RETURN IT IS WRITTEN THE LOVE OF MANY IS WAXING COLD AMEN LETS TAKE A MOMENT AT LEAST 10 minutes or more to thank The Father in heaven for dying on the cross for our sins and to repent for repeating the same sins Jesus died for Amen I pray they this message encouraged anyone to hold on to the Faith and have Faith because Jesus is alive and well and soon to come

My Shih Tzu Is Always Chewing Her Toy

I raised 2 shistzu never have any dog around your food thats nasty
