My family and I are seriously thinking about getting a dog, pregerably a shih tzu or a lhasa apso (sorry about the spelling) but before getting one we need a lot of info about to train it, what they eat etc does anyone a really good website on where i can get this information
Realize that the two breeds you mentioned have grooming issues.You will have to spend the money about every 5-6 week getting them groomed/haircut.That aside, everyone has to be on the same page as far as training.Example: if Mom doesn’t want dog on furniture but kids let the dog.This confuses a dog, Take the puppy to puppy class.This generally is at about 4 months of age.He will have had enough puppy shots by then.Remember trainers are training you to train the dog.You will need to feed the pup 3 times per day a good brand of food,take him out to go potty alot to the same spot out the same door.Use a key word like”go potty” he will get the idea.Crate him when you can’t watch him.I found an excellent web site that offers everything you would need it’s http://www.jbpet.com
They have excellent customer service.Good luck getting the pup.If you haven’t decided boy or girl know boy dogs are more mushy/needy and girl dogs are great and don’t pee on every little thing.Good luck.
