8. Make Sure That Your Shih Tzu Doesn’t Escape
If you keep your Shih Tzu in the backyard, make sure that you have a fence installed and that there are no loose or broken panels. Make sure to keep your Shih Tzu on a leash at all times, and take other precautions to protect your pet.
9. Find Out Its Likes And Dislikes
Just like humans, Shih Tzus can be finicky. If your dog doesn't like a certain type of food, don't force your pet to eat it. If your dog doesn't like riding in cars, don't try to make him or her ride with you all of the time unless it's necessary. Learn about your pet's likes and dislikes, and apply those in your pet parenting style.
