How Do I Paper Train My 8 Weeks Shih Tzu And Stop His Bitting Problem?
First off, 8 weeks is a little early for a Shih Tzu to be away from its mother. That said, dogs won’t usually pee or poop in their bed/sleeping area, although my Yorkies seem to be an exception to that statement! It is a good sign that he doesn’t soil his bed. You can try using puppy pads – they’re available in many stores, like KMart and pet stores…dogs seem to like the smell of them and will usually use the pads instead of the floor. Just realize that if you paper/pad-train your dog, he will probably not be as good about telling you when he needs o go out. After all, you’ve always provided him with a place to go indoors…and he’s a puppy, they are clumsy and awkward and step in all sorts of stuff without realizing it’s ‘icky’, lol. Young puppies bite alot, it’s a form of play and will continue as they teethe. You can try giving him a toy to bite on when greeting people or holding him, and if he bites, grab him by the scruff of his neck – where all that loose skin is – and tell him
