How Do You Crate Train Shih Tzus?

0

Shih tzu dogs are notoriously difficult to potty-train, according to the American Shih Tzu Club. However, the method that seems to work the best is crate training. Crate training employs the thinking that a dog will avoid going to the bathroom where he sleeps or eats. Therefore, if your Shih Tzu is left in the crate for when you are not home to supervise, he will probably not eliminate there. However, setting up a routine with your Shih Tzu and supplying the proper crate are the keys to successful training. Supply your Shih Tzu with a crate that is just the right size—just big enough for him to stand up and turn around. According to the Shih Tzu information website GAShihTzu.com, crates that generally work the best are about two-feet by two-feet in size. However, purchase the crate that suits your Shih Tzu best. If you have a Shih Tzu puppy, you can buy a crate that will fit when he is an adult, just place a large blanket or divider in the excess area to keep the puppy out of it. Hel
