The Shih Tzu breeder you choose needs to be someone you feel comfortable doing business with and someone you can trust. Also gauge the feeling of the breeder as well. A breeder that does not seem to really care about the dogs he is selling is probably not worth doing business with.

You aren’t hurting any breeder’s pride by looking around and they know you will choose the breeder that works best for you. If you see shady dealers engaging in animal cruelty then report them to the proper authorities right away.

It’s irritating when walking down the sidewalk in your own neighborhood only to have a dog jump up on your clean clothes. Many people find that their neighbors’ pets like nothing more than using other people’s yards as a toilet. The dogs are no worse than the children of the neighbor. When adults in a home are clueless about their responsibilities, you can expect only bad behavior from pets and kids.

The dog ought to be given pre-set behavioral limits when inside or when it is taken to public places. Inexperienced owners would be smart to find a dog trainer who can teach them how to properly handle the animal without breaking its spirit. You need to ask at the vet’s office or local pet stores for names of trainers who hold private or group sessions with the pet and owner; or you could instantly access an online course and nip any behavioral problems in the bud right away.
