Are Shih-Tzu hard to train?
Yes, the dogs of this breed can be difficult to train in some cases but these dogs are intelligent, responding well to gentle and patient attention. For some new Shih-Tzu owners, the amount of time and patience is too much. Sometimes these dogs end up being given to a rescue organization. If you are considering a Shih-Tzu, keep in mind that housebreaking/potty training can sometimes be a bit more difficult than with other breeds.
