Do you already have a Shih Tzu or are you planning to get one?
"Give Me 5 Minutes and I'll Tell You How You Can Have a Healthier, Happier Shih Tzu Like My Shih Tzu..."
Dear Friend,
My name is Katie Davis and I'm a proud Shih Tzu mommy.
You know, picking out a puppy is one of
the most important – and stressful – things you’ll ever do. If you’re
anything like me, you start out with a breed you like to look at. Maybe
your childhood pet was a particular breed; perhaps you’ve seen a breed
that caught your eye while watching the Westminster Kennel Club show on
TV.
Whatever the reason, you just like a certain dog.
For me - and thousands of others - it's the Shih Tzu. Are you like me, too? Then we already have lots in common!
But bringing home your first puppy can be nerve-wracking because …
Your Shih Tzu Doesn't Come with an Owner's Manual … But You’ll Need One!
So many of my clients say they wish they’d had some kind of manual
that they could refer to before, during and after getting their dog but
there was nothing out there. That’s why I created The Ultimate Guide to the Shih Tzu just for you so you can benefit from my years of experience with this breed and be miles ahead of other new dog owners.
And this guide isn’t just for new puppy owners. It’s ideal if:
- You’re considering getting a Shih Tzu, you’ll have tons of information to help in your decision making process
- You have a new Shih Tzu and want to get off to a good, solid start, and
- You’re already a Shih Tzu owner and may be having some repairable problems
You’ll discover things like …
- 5 Reasons Why a Shih Tzu Might Not Be For You
– Yes, I’ll tell you the good, the bad and the ugly about this breed.
I’d rather see you happy with your new puppy or dog than to pick a Shih
Tzu because she’s cute (and she is!) yet being unaware of some of the
breed’s drawbacks.
- What You Need to Know About Feeding and Exercise
– While this may seem a little basic, Shih Tzu’s have some important
requirements. Miss these and you could be a regular at your vet’s
office!
- Small Dog Complex – Did
you know that your Shih Tzu could have some behavioral problems all
tied to his size? It’s true. Check out Section 5 of The Ultimate Guide to the Shih Tzu to get my recommendations for Small Dog Complex…
Do the above points sound like I’m trying to talk you out of a Shih
Tzu? Not at all! Like any breed, there are some things you’ll deal with
when raising or training a Shih Tzu and you’ll succeed far better and
faster than others when you have all the right information to refer to.
You Can Have a Well-Trained,
Well-Behaved Dog
I used to admire the “perfectness” of my friends’ dogs. They walked
well on lead (also called “loose leash”), didn’t jump up and bark, and
curled up on the floor right near their favorite human’s feet.
What I didn’t know was that it took some time to have a puppy or dog
fit into a family schedule and environment. Luckily, you have The Ultimate Guide to the Shih Tzu to help you train and care for your perfect dog!
And it won’t take nearly as long because you have the answers you need without waiting for the vet or a trainer to return your anxious phone calls!
Imagine …
- Knowing exactly what
questions to ask a breeder so you start out on the right foot (or is
that paw?) with just the right Shih Tzu puppy for your family
- Being
able to leave the house knowing that there won’t be any destruction or
messes when you return – I have some simple, effective techniques that
will help you train your Shih Tzu whether you’ve adopted a puppy,
rescued a full grown dog, or just have some training issues.
- Having
a gentle and loving companion for your whole family – You won’t have to
worry about whether she’ll bite the postman’s ankle or turn on your
toddler

- How Much Will She Cost?

Well, there really is a right way and a wrong way and I’ll fill you in
on all the details of how to give your Shih Tzu’s coat the loving care
it deserves. Too much or too little of this will wreck his coat (page 95)

learned. On page 117 you’ll learn my “high five” techniques for
housetraining success.
Shih Tzu Housetraining Tip
Offer
water only at meals and after exercise when training. After your new
friend has finished having some water, pick up the bowl and put it on
the counter. This way you’ll have better control over when she’ll need
to go out. And always take her out right after meals. When training is
done and you have a really reliable Shih Tzu, it’s fine to leave the
water dish down all the time.
- Come. Sit. Stay.
– These are basic commands that all dog owners should use on a daily
basis and I’ll give you my sure-fire tips to make learning these easy
and fun. I’ll even show you my secret weapon to stop annoying barking! (page 126)

- And much, much more!
Are you ready to get started?
CRATE TRAINING TIP
When crate training your puppy, the general rule is that you can
leave her in the crate one hour per month of age. So if your puppy is 3
months old, she should be taken out every 3 hours. By the time she’s 6
or 7 months, she can hold it for much longer. Just don’t stress her
kidneys or bladder by leaving her in the crate too long.
