5) They know when you're going away
If you're packing your bags for a vacation or other trip, Shih Tzus can use their associated memory to know that you're leaving. This may give some dogs anxiety, so make sure to stay in control, give them treats, and offer them plenty of attention to keep them calm. Make sure that you leave your pet with someone that will provide plenty of attention and playtime to help your pet not feel lonely during your absence.
