I ordered this book after bringing home my 6-week old puppy, and it has helped me tremendously. I have one other book which talks a lot about the history and temperament of the breed, but this book is a lot more useful for everyday knowledge. I love the suggestions for getting the dog used to daily grooming so that he get used to being handled. My puppy is already starting to nip at my hands and feet, and this book is helping me respond to this and other undesirable behavior.

This is my first dog, and I had not a clue about how to housebreak or socialize him. With this book, I feel a lot more confident in my ability to raise a friendly family pet.

This book was a great introduction for me, who has never owned a dog before. It teaches you about Shih Tzus, but also about dogs in general.
The techniques work, and I feel that I am now smarter than my puppy. A dummy no more!

Exellent book for people who know very little and who desire to know more about the Shih Tzu breed. It covers everything from puppyhood to senior citizen. I am very happy with this book.

First, I like the Dummy books. This book is really informative on the subject of Shih Tzus. I have a new puppy and it's been invaluable in training, temperament, grooming, supplies, etc. Like I said, I like the Dummy books and have a LOT of them from Physics to Glycemic Index...you can't go wrong with a Dummy book unless you are completely knowledgeable about the subject of the book.

I am completely happy with shih Tzu for Dummies which taught me everything about Shih Tzus that I needed to know when a friend gave me a puppy out of the blue. I have never had a small dog before and did not even realise the Shih Tzu was such a special dog. The book gave me very good directions from discipline to training to looking after their health to understanding their need for human company and their loving nature. I have since passed the book onto a friend with a Shih Tzu puppy to make sure that he understands all its needs. I found the book very easy to read and comprehensive. I would recommend this book to any new Shih Tzu owners.

Great book, bought it for my son and his family who just brought home a shih-tzu puppy. It was very informative on every aspect of the breed. Highly recommend if you want to know all there is to know on this wonderful family dog!

I'm a new shih tzu owner and this book describes everything a beginner needs to know about this adorable breed. It covers all the topics you need to raise a happy and healthy dog. I specially liked the section about house training, it has been very helpful.

This is an excellent starter book for new Shih Tzu owners. It'll give you an idea of your new pet's history, moods, what to feed and basic training.
I found those trainings helpful (don't forget to search YouTube too). My 4 mo baby is now housebroken and knows a few tricks.

This is a very informative book. In some ways I wish I would have read the book before I got my precious baby. She is higher maintance then me. LOL

My family has really enjoyed this book, there are a lot of things we knew and a lot we we not certain of. I wish I had this when my dog was a puppy, would have really helped. My dog is 7 and it's already been helpful with a few training tips, small change in diet, better ways to groom and more. There is a section which talks about the dogs personalities which made us all laugh, it was spot on. They are great little dogs but need and want your attention. After a hard day of work the dog will just sit in my lap and is very relaxing. She senses these things.

If your buying a Shih Tzu or already have one, this book is a great inexpesive investment.
