Why are both of my dogs peeing in the house?
Urinary tract infections, cystitis (bladder inflammation), bladder stones, kidney disease, or arthritis or age-related incontinence could all be causes of house soiling in dogs. In addition, pets with diarrhea or other intestinal illnesses may not be able to make it outside fast enough.
When to let a Shih Tzu out for a walk?
As stated, with a young dog you’ll have to schedule a walk every two hours. Once you start to notice you’re Shih Tzu eliminating less, you can space out the time between walks. You should always let your Shih Tzu out in the morning, shortly after feeding your dog. Make sure to let the dog out just before going to bed as well.
How often should I take my Shih Tzu out for a Potty Break?
If you’re potty training a puppy, keep in mind young dogs need to go out more often. Take your Shih Tzu out every 20-30 minutes when she’s young. Puppies don’t have the restraint to wait 2 hours between bathroom breaks.
Can a 5 year old Shih Tzu be house trained?
I recently acquired a foster dog named Buddy (pictured at the top of this page), a 5 year old Shih Tzu male who had never been previously house trained. Buddy (through no fault of his own) had no idea that peeing and pooping in the house was unacceptable behaviour. He did what he wanted to do, where and when he wanted.
How old is the Shih Tzu that pees in the House?
We have two male Shih Tzus. One is 5 years (Kili), the other 4 years (Buddy). Buddy will pee in the house even if we have just witnessed him peeing outside.
