Let Everyone Have Their Own Space
Everyone likes to have their own space to rest and relax – their own sanctuary. This holds true for humans of all ages and pets as well. If your child is having a difficult time adjusting to the new pet, make sure that they have their own place that the dog is not allowed to go. This could be their bedroom or another area of the home where your child enjoys being. Likewise, your new Shih Tzu should also have his or her own place to wind down. This could be in an unused area of the home or even just a crate placed in a corner of the family room. When things get overwhelming during these first few days and beyond, everyone will have their own place to relax and unwind.
