Shih Tzu potty training
I have a 12 week old Shih Tzu which I've had for 2 1/2 weeks. She has been pooping in her crate and I'm not sure what to do. I have decreased the size of the crate to just big enough for her to turn around and lay down. Last night I got up at 1:30 and took her out, but she only peed, then pooped at 3 am in the crate. From what most people tell me, dogs usually eat then go. She doesn't. She eats then might poop 5 hours later (or less). I'm having a hard time figuring out her schedule. She eats at the same time, but poops at different times. We're doing pretty well with the peeing. Any tips would be appreciated. :confused:

OK well first since your dog is more mature than puppy stage you will need to make notes on when he/she eats. And 15 min. after they eat take them outside and leave them there for a hour or so, since your puppy goes 5hrs lter. If she poots and pees praise it and give it a treat if it poots in the house hold it in front of the poot and make her smell it and with a sturdy voice say NO. and continue the same cycle.

Hi, I work from home, and recently got a 9 week old shih tzu puppy. The breeder had told me that the puppy was litter box trained. What he meant was he put the puppy in the crate with a big pan full of litter, and the puppy used to sleep there and potty there. So now when I got him home, I got a...
I have a 10 month old male shih tzu. He is doing well with knowing when to tell us when he has to potty outside and pees on everything he can. The problem is that he will not poop outside unless we go on a walk or have lots of run time. He seems to be stimulated by the exercise and will sometimes...
I just got an 11 week old Shih Tzu 3 days ago. I am a teacher and we have been out of school all week because of a huge ice storm in the Midwest, but come Monday I will have to go back and the puppy will be alone for several hours. I live only about 3 minutes from my school so I can come home at...
