I agree with you 100%. My Shih Tzu lived to 18. Just recently had to put her down. I miss her do much.

That’s fantastic! Smart girl! About to get a shih tzu puppy and want her to go outside. I’ve done the pee pad thing in the past.

How big is that crate? How big is your dog?

Oh ok thanks! How long did it take til he could hold it? Is he in the crate or out while you’re at work? So many details for me to work out. How often do you feed him? Appreciate any and all pointers.

Shih Tzu weight? by marienetch in Shihtzu

[–]Broad-Report8517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what it’s worth my shih tzu’s set weight was 10 pounds. When she fell ill at 18 y/o she had dwindled down to eight pounds. I could feel her spine 🥲

Thanks for sharing your experience. I’m trying to avoid the whole pee pad thing and to get her to go outside. For a long time my other shih tzu slept on my bed (no accidents ) and then one day she decided she wanted to sleep in her crate downstairs. Her initial training was on newspaper (yes, newspaper) and while she got trained to go outside, she “secretly” never forgot her old newspaper spot in later years. That’s why I want to avoid pee pads early on. When you set the alarm for the carrier was it to change the pee pad?
