I LOVE Shih Tzu They are very cute and furry. I have on and He is so energetic he is just now one years old. His birthday is on the 4th of july independence day. Every time I come back from some place he is always waiting for me in the door he just smudges his face on the door One the first day I got I had to leave some where and he cried some much and once I came home he was jumping and out of no where he learned how to do a back flip I was like so happy and surprised I almost cried of excitement.

I recently adopted a 5 year old male pit bull mix ( I think he's mixed with a lab) he's well behaved and shows manors. I walk out the door first and got him to stop tugging the leash on our walks by simply pulling the leash up instead of back ( thanks to the dog whisper). He's a friendly dog but I feel he may be to friendly. How do I know if he will protect my family if we are in danger? There are also sometimes where I'll give him a tug and and he doesn't respond, I've asked how to change this and people have told me to hit him hard. Is there another way to get this pit to respect and listen without beating him? I don't want him to become vicious I have a 4 year old and I don't need dog to attack. I just need him to respect what I say and protect my family. Are there any other methods ????

I do not know how you train a pitt bull - I do know that you should never hit or beat a dog -

Thanx but that really doesn't help much. Does anyone else know what to do ?

Many say they have a pitt bull lab mix - and I am not quite sure if I believe there are that many pitt bull lab mixes running around. In any case - you are saying you do not have complete control of the pup - then I would under no circumstances have him around a 4 year old child. Kids play, they make noise, they throw stuff animals for fun, and you do not know what will set the pup off - too many articles with these dogs hurting children. In some cases killing them. They are all friendly - till they are not. They require a strong, knowledgeable consistent trainer with a lot of experience.

I personally use a 'pinch collar' to walk my pitbulls, both my pits are males, one neutered ones not. And without a pinch collar they pull me all over the place. With a pinch collar, it does not choke the dog in any way if fitted properly, and causes no harm IF used properly. It just causes a 'pinch' to the neck of the dog if they are pulling, 9 times out of 10 one little 'tug' (PLEASE never ever yank or pull extremely hard on the leash when using a pinch collar as it could cause damage to your dogs neck) a quick snap of the leash always puts my dogs right back at my side. Without having to use any type of 'hitting' your dog, you should never hit your dog, that will only cause him to become afraid of people and possibly even aggression. Hope this helps. Literally the first walk with a pinch collar had an amazing difference my dogs, Blade and Kadar now enjoy daily walks, and I now enjoy them as well because I'm not being pulled every which a way. :)

As Far as protection goes a 'pitbull' or 'pitbull mix' become very attached to their owners. And though they may never show any signs of aggression or protection once your dog has had time to bond to you and your family I can ensure that he will protect you and your child. My dogs have had no training other than basic training (sit, come, stay, heal basic stuff) and I have no doubt in my mind they will protect me and they have proven it time and time again. 'Pitbulls' are naturally protective, but it would be wise to be extremely aware of your dogs body language around other dogs, no matter how friendly he seems with other dogs, some dogs can be fine with 100 dogs then for no reason whatsoever attack the 101st dog. If you don't put your dog in a situation to fail then he can't fail. Example: Pitbulls especially males can be dog aggressive so for obivious reasons my dogs don't go to the dog park. If you don't put your dog into a situation where something bad could happen and cause more people to fear the breed then you should have no problems with your new dog. I'm not saying keep him away from every other dog, i'm just saying it is wise to very slowly introduce your dog to any other dog you'd want them to play with. You need to be very aware of your dogs body language as almost always they give warning signs before they bite/attack.

If your dog is pulling you, you should use a head halter. It helps to get the dogs attention and keep him from pulling so much. I used it with my pit bulls. I have been around so many dogs in my life and I am only 13. Right now I have a chihuahua/pit bull mix and she is a devil. I am working with her. Just try to teach her some things like (watch me) and (sit and stay) and she will use them automatically. If you have her do them lots of times each day. You should never hit a dog. If you have had the dog for awhile, it will have a connection with you, and it will protect you in certain situations. Your dog will protect you when it comes time to. My chihuahua/pit bull gets along great with my lab, (both females) and my chihuahua/pit bull helped bring out the puppy part in my 6 year old lab. Pit bulls (no matter the case) will love you no matter what. Even if her old owner beat her, she will look for affection and wag her tail. (and if you have any info on how to get a dog to stop chewing her dog bowl please tell me.) My dog is in her teething stages, she is 9 months.

dont you know, pit bulls make for a terrible guard dog... and hitting that poor dog is gonna make him be fearful and more likely to attack out of fear... you should be ashamed of yourself

Yes please check the local shelters and there are also many chihuahua rescue groups.
I got my long haired chihuahua from a rescue group through petfinders.com. He is just the sweetest thing ever. He is 4 yrs old, house trained, sits on my lap all the time, very affectionate and enjoys car rides. Chihuahuas are over bred and many good ones ended up in shelters. Please save one, you won't regret.

Hi Lori, I live in Taylorsville, NC. I have one problem. I am currently on disability. My Harley was a rescue dog at 2 mos old. I am suing the owner of the Pitt but still working on how to file in small claims court for property damage and personal injury/pain and suffering.

Lisa Marie Fox - 2016-12-22
On 11-11-16 I decided to take my fur babies for a walk with me to my mailbox. I had a Chorkie and a Mini Pin. I still have my Mini Pin but a loose Pitbull came out of no wear and ended up killing my Chorkie. He was 3 yrs old and I am still grieving. I miss him so much. He was my shadow, my comforter and my companion. My Chorkie was named Harley and my Mini Pin Davidson.

I am on disability now and can't afford much for another Chorkie. If anyone who reads this can help me out with another Chorkie and of course he/she wouldn't replace Harley but I need to help fill the emptiness in my heart of missing Harley very much. I am still grieving and it's almost Christmas. This will be my 1st Christmas without him.

The memories I have of Harley is he liked to skip. I should of named him Skipper lol. I also taught him to dance like a ballerina when getting a treat. He always had to be in the same room I was. If in bathroom he was right there. When I cried he comfort me by licking my tears away. He didn't like seeing me cry. I am crying now as I type this and he's not here to lick my tears away.

Lisa,
I live in Jacksonville Fl and will hopefully have a healthy litter of Chorkies in about 5-6 weeks. The female is a 3.75 year old large Chorkie (9lbs) that we rescued. She is healthy and has never had a Vet visit for anything but vaccines and now prenatal appointments.
The sire is a very distinctive Parti Yorkie, approximately 4 lbs. This was an accidental litter … we had Jax at the Vet to exam for neutering 9 days before and the Vet said he wasn’t quite ready … Wellhe got really and did the job. Both are smart, funny, lovabing, and very independent and adventurous (only due to the average -I think) but being held and cuddled is still #1 for both. Please let me know if your situation has changed or you’ve decided against getting another pup.
I had 2 dogs 16&17 years respectively a Yorkie/Pek and Yorkie/Shihzu and finding owners with the same mentality is way more important than any money.
Sincerely,
Nan

We have a long hair chihuahua she is so sweet, but the only problem we're
having is she has real long hair on her butt so everytime she has a bowel
movement it sticks and hangs in her hair. I've tried cutting it but it still sticks. Any ideas please help.

You have seen a poodle with the typical poodle cut? I have seen that on the long haired chihauhua. Literally from the hip bones and down to the knees the pup is shaved - completely shaved. From the back knees on down, there is hair. The tail except for the tip is also shaved. I never thought about there being a actually reason for this - just thought the people had a preferance. If I was having the problem you describe - that is what I would do - different but cute look.
Deb - 2014-08-06
Just shave her butt. Use a comb and place it between her and the shaver. I shave both of mine all the time. If you do just the rear no one notices it at all. There is no need to ruin their hair and shave the entire dog! It works, using the comb and cutting it short. Hope this helps. :)
katrina - 2016-04-05
I used to be a groomer. You just have to shave it or have someone do it.

Dry dog food does the trick. I have a long haired male and never had a problem.
Rosemarie - 2016-12-04
My mum had one and when I took mum in Muffy came too. I use to wash Muffy's rear end every time she came in. Only solution. Muffy was good. She'd sit at the door until I came to wash her. She NEVER attempted to come in without a wash. If she hadn't done her business she would just run in. They are VERY intelligent.
