Provide your shitzu puppies some chew toys with different textures to help get their chewing needs properly with puppy training. It is recommended to use larger rawhide items and natural bones for your pups to satisfy their chewing needs.
The instant when your puppy starts chewing on you just make him understand that you are in pain no matter if she has really twinged at your skin. Just let out a scream, by doing so she will be scared and will leave you.
One of the top way to be friendly with your pup is by giving back of your hand so that she can lick, by this method she gets habituated with you and realizes that you are the caretaker.

Does your pup start mouthing you if you don't respond when he desires to? Is he continually tripping you up, or starting to play tug-o-war with the leash when you're trying to walk him? Is he uncooperative when you direct him to do something like not to jump or bite? If the answer is yes, you may have a tyrant or dominant dog . With this kind of puppy you have to use a little more discipline.
