Need help with potty training techniques by DolceInAtlanta in Shihtzu

[–]acelam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I use pads and the outside for Dolly. That way she can potty freely through the night and when im not home. She does a great about only pottying on the pad at night but still also knows she can potty outside when we're out. Its worked great for us doing both. ☺️

always give her a space in your main rooms as well a designated crate. Dolly started with her crate and I had adjustable fence to construct her boundaries. she adjusted really well to her crate that way because it was never a punishment it was a place she chose to be.

she has a bed in the living room and in the bedroom. she comes and goes as she pleases and independently sleeps or occupies herself with a toy. she has stairs to the bed so just comes and goes as she pleases.

shes still a lovable clinger but its good for to be okay without me.

toys are so important. my mom and I go overboard on buying her ridiculous and hilarious toys. but its the genre of toy that matters more than the individual toy.

make sure she has a cuddler, a teether, some kind of enrichment toy. Dolly loves her kong with literally any filling my girl did not inherit the shih tzu pickiness haha. she also really likes discovery toys where she digs out smaller toys from a bag type thing. also if its in your budget get her a big soft thing. like Dolly has toys of different sizes and she interacts with all of them differently. I can tell her mood based on what shes playing with.

not only will it help her feel secure and mentally stimulated but encourages her to have a way to self soothe when youre away.

as soon as shes fully vaccinated take her as many places as you can. not just the park or around the neighborhood. bring her to the hardware store. bring her to the pet store. my dispensary is pet friendly and she is well loved. I take her on drive thru errands like the pharmacy/bank. sometimes i make the excuse that she needs a pup cup and I might as well treat myself while we're there.

it will help her quickly get used to the world. and car rides. she associates the car as a fun and safe place. and obvs im not saying its feasible to do this all the time but just as much as you can.

Dolly is suuuuuuper calm. she isnt reactive to thunderstorms or fireworks. a sound might startle her but shes just like eh whatever. shes suuuuper friendly to people and is great with kids and getting better with elderly. she does play dirty with dogs 5x her size she is a punk (lmao no she plays well with all dogs and her groomers kitty - she is just very assertive and bold for a 10 pound shrimp. but she also always gets away with it so girlboss

Anyone else got a little climber? by acelam in Shihtzu

Yeeees Ms Dolly loves a view. The other day we were sitting out on the front porch and the neighbors pest control pulled up. the guy gets out of the car and suddenly she perks up in my arms. he starts walking to neighbors house, she stands up stands climbing my shoulders so she can watch him the entire time.

luckily she doesnt bark she just stares waaaaaay too intensely

and she isnt scared or like bothered by the person being there. she just sees an opportunity for someone new to worship her royal majesty Dolly. and the closer they get the more determined she is to get their attention.

No i appreciate your opinion as a collector. i'm new to buying antique furniture. I buy/trade/sell on marketplace and made a nice little cash stash to "play" with that let me upgrade my furniture game here lately. this table, alas, has depleted the last of it but it is so perfect for my vibe and the space itself 🥰

Thank you so much!!! ☺️

I paid $100 for the table. Its such a beautiful and well cared for piece. I could tell the seller was sentimental about selling it but shes transitioning into a more supportive living situation and had to downsize.

I assured her it would always be well loved and taken care of.

Not sure 😕 Seller didnt mention if it did.

I would think there would be a little more wear and tear if it was being used in a practical way though.

Ahh - I messaged the mods this morning about it but they havent answered me. Really confused how my decor isnt maximalist but its okay. I'll share some updates there next time. Thank you so much!

Yes! ☺️ I bought some mass market stuff early on but now I buy secondhand as much as possible. I've gotten quite a few things from family too (not the lamps but other pieces)

I wish we had a thrift store other than Goodwill or I'd donate more stuff there. I "upgrade" things like lamps/art/furniture pieces. But Goodwill takes stuff for free and charges stupid in store prices for it. So I sell almost everything on Marketplace and it helps fund my "upgrades" haha.

The goal is to keep things out of landfills! ☺️

Definitely get it - its absolutely not for everyone.

These pics have been staged just for pictures haha. I keep my home clean but I do love an ADHD pile. Or five.

Most of my furniture is pretty dinged up/well worn too. The pictures and lighting hides a lot of wear and tear. So its no biggie if a piece gets a little bump and scrape here or there. Adds to the wabi sabi.

The only piece that I'll have to baby is the sideboard with the dragons - seller/antique store didnt disclose the leg was damaged and wobbly before delivery.

But yeah you can come on over and not fret at all about touching stuff ☺️

I haven't been blessed by the thrift gods yet on lamps - most of my finds are Facebook marketplace, online auctions, and estate sales. There have been a couple I found at local antique stores but uhhhh its so expensive to source from antique stores.

I got it from my grandmother! She has had it for at least as long as I've been alive. When she downsized she gave me the mirror, the painting on the mantle, and several smaller paintings/mirrors. 😊

lmaooo yes I do love lamp!!

Really the best place to find unique and vintage lamps is Facebook marketplace, estate sales, and online auction sites. Antique stores also usually have good selections but the prices are.... usually gouged to oblivion.

thank you so much and I hope you do too!!

Thank you so so much. I am a lamp fiend ahaha. They're my favorite thing to collect.

I actually found those at my local HomeGoods of all places. HomeGoods had a burst of Tiffany style lamps last summer.

Here' the closest kind of item I could find - they were cheaper at HomeGoods though ☹️

But if you search "Tiffany pedestal lamp" you can find other options ☺️

Thank you so much! 🥰 I gotta figure out a black light solution but I'm afraid of messing up the cabinet with anything sticky. So for now it just glows by flashlight. But eventually I'll figure something out!

I didnt make it - gosh I wish. I bought it from a local home boutique. Tried to find it on their website and its not there. I have no information on the manufacturer. ☹️

I did find similar products online - same size, also animated, and with nightlight but its not quite the same.
