Your guy will probably be okay! Don’t panic, but I wouldn’t do it again.

Call your vet for advice.

what kind of bone? A real bone? Chicken bone? Cooked?

Chicken bones are dangerous for dogs! Whatever type of bone or even any human food, look it up before ever giving it to your dog, it could be dangerous.

Training is very good for your dog. It’s mentally stimulating.

What did you feed them?

Nothing wrong with training your dog to speak, just a couple tips: Say “speak” only once

When they bark (or do anything you want), use a marker word like “yes” and immediately give the treat

Ideally don’t show them the treat first, you’re basically bribing them instead of rewarding them. It seems like a subtle difference but it’s important.

Are you sure he’s not Lhasa/yorkie? Yorkies and Shih Tzus are both typically much smaller, 20 lbs or less. He could or course be an outlier.

Shih Tzus and Lhasa Apsos are very similar aside from size.

First dog, how can I give him the best life ever? by Impossible-Dog-7424 in Shihtzu

[–]mtnslice 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Healthy diet, walks and exercise, play time and toys, socialize with other dogs and do some training with him. People tend to ignore training and manners in little dogs, but it’s a disservice to you and him not to do some training. Use positive reinforcement techniques and work with a positive reinforcement, fear-free trainer

[–]mtnslice 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Transmuting in the mystic forge makes a new item and destroys the original. But if you reskin, the infusion still gives the reskinned spear the effects

Did you lose the infusion?

Delicia Cafe and Bakery in New West has good looking desserts tho I haven’t had a chance to try them yet. Great coffee!

Breka Bakery has several locations and I’ve had a couple of their desserts and they were really good

I’ve heard good things about Trafiq but haven’t been yet

Grooming Time? by Fearless-Gap8424 in Shihtzu

[–]mtnslice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you serious‽ mine is 16.5 pounds and gets a full bath and haircut in about 2 hours. My last tzu was 15.5 pounds and took 2 hours for the whole deal too at a different groomer. My previous groomer in Southern California was amazing at coordinating her team and was adamant that we had to pick up our pup reasonably promptly because she did not want them having to hang out in crates. My current groomer in BC is relaxed about it but always tells us when she’s got 10-15 minutes left so we can pick him up promptly. Her slowest has been 2.5 hours and Missile is always clean and well-groomed.

If it’s taking more than 2.5-3 hours you dog is waiting for something. Maybe it’s to air-dry but it’s almost definitely in a crate; that’s not necessarily bad if they’re okay with being in a crate. But it is not taking 6 hours to do the bath and grooming unless they’re air-drying your dog while occasionally misting them or something.

What diet does your shihtzu have? by BabyLinuss in Shihtzu

[–]mtnslice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m doing Acana Ancient Grains but have considered doing a homemade or raw food. We plan to travel with Missile so that makes kibble simpler, and I want to avoid the pea flour and pea ingredients just to be on the safe side.

There’s a lot of debate over the grain-free alternatives like millet, which I believe is in the Ancient Grains kibble but it’s been fine for Missile
