🕐 Start Early
Begin training as soon as your purebred Shih Tzu puppy arrives home.
Puppies thrive on structure. The earlier you start, the faster they learn.Key rule: Take them to the same potty spot every time.
📅 Follow a Schedule
Take your puppy out:
- First thing in the morning
- After meals and naps
- After playtime
- Right before bed
Most Shih Tzu puppies for sale need potty breaks every 2–3 hours at first.
🐾 Use Crate Training
Crates help teach bladder control. Puppies avoid soiling where they sleep.
Tips:
- Choose a crate just big enough for your puppy to stand and turn
- Don’t leave them in for too long
- Take them out immediately after crate time
Many of our AKC Shih Tzu puppies for sale are already introduced to crate routines.
