Mouthing and biting are usual problems with all shih tzu puppies. It is strongly suggested to control this mouthing habit of your shitzu at the early stage

Usually a shi tzu mouths our hands when excited or when playing and puppies usually do this more to children than adults. And you have to control this habit of your puppy.You can use the steps mentioned below to train your dog puppy.

A shih-tzu uses its mouth very much. In fact, they discover their world with their mouth. They enjoy chewing things. It is found that the habit intensifies in the course of the teething process.

Providing appropriate objects for a dog to focus on can sometimes be a simple method of resolving a mouthing problem. Undestroyable chew toys like large nylon bones or hard rubber Kongs can supply a good solution for shitzu puppies. Huge rawhide bones and carrots can be placed in the freezer and given to a teething puppy. Braided fiber bones dipped in chicken broth or water and then frozen are also a nice option.

If your puppy is chewing on you, the instant the pressure raises use your "hurt puppy' sound leaving your hand in his mouth. Once the pressure is loose, slowly remove your hand.

You may desire to offer the back of your hand for your puppy to lick. By doing this, not only are you teaching him that our skin is tender, but also that you expect a sign of deference (licking your hand) for their action.

If the pup cooperates you, it is suggested to praise his cooperation. Another technique which can be used is to train your pup to understand your commands and gestures.

If your puppy dont hear what you say, or is getting more and more cruel with people and also with you, its serious then. And he will go on doing the same until you train him not to.
