a treat that i use is Pedigree Tasty Bone...

I'm using Iams Puppy biscuit (yellow box) as treat. My shih tzu really like it. I guess u can it in may petsop. As for the toys, u need to discipline him. I did not give the toy to him the times coz this will eventually make him easily boring with the new toy. Usually i will keep the toy when it at night.

Hmm.........mayb u can try holding some treats in your hand and command it to sit. If it sucessfully do, then u give him a praise + treat. As for bitting, i will buy some toys for my shih tzu to bite (to change its attention).

I buy before the Pedigree Tasty Bone b4 for my shih tzu. It is really hard n my shih tzu take a hard time to finish it. The Iams biscuit usually available at et where they sell alot of Eukanuba dog food. If u can't find that biscuit, mayb u can try the milky stick(orange color pack, not Pedigree brand!). My shih tzu loves it also.

Okla.........i check for u the barnd for milky stick. I tell u later coz now i'm in university online. Usually i buy the milky stick from Giant. My shih tzu loves it veli much coz the smells good By the way, r u staying at KL?

The brand is JerHigh with orange color packing. It is a zip packn cost around RM 7.90. Hope u can get it.

try making your own treats?

we make our own...very easy and tasty too.

get some chicken breast. cut it into small strips. then steam it and flatten it with a spoon...and then bake it for 180C for 15-30 minutes...depending on your microwave or oven.

the left over juice (stock) from the steaming can be used to make furkid some soup or mixed with his food for some extra yummy factor.

what was recommended is home made. no preservatives and no coloring. i leave it to your best judgement as to which is better..."branded" laced with colorings and lots of flour (I have to admit that these treats are convenient and taste yummy - almost savoury if you have tried it) or something home made which is human grade (the same chicken you buy for home cooked food for humans).

shih tzus can sometimes be picky eaters. i used to beg shalom to eat...literally "pls eat girl". we experimented wth so many brands and in the end resorted to home cooked and barf. these days, feeding is breezy...and vet certifies her good and healthy...no skin prob etc.

if your vet says feed him more (i assume he's probably a little under weight), you can incorporate healthy treats and ask your vet for some multivitamins as well.

how's the sitting coming along? we can get shalom to sit properly for a short while only...then she'll just plonk onto her down position (lazy girl)...unlike her other cher-chers and ko-kos who stay sitted until we give the release command....sigh.....
