5. Constantly trying to play with them
Shih Tzus like to play, but it is possible to overdo it. Make sure that you provide your pet with plenty of time to rest and don't push the dog to do something he or she doesn't like.
6. Taking them outside
Shih Tzus are typically indoor dogs, so you don't have to take them outside often. In addition to making your dog very tired with extended outdoor play, you also put your dog at risk for overheating and heat stroke.
