1490. Shih Tzu - Dealing With Housebreaking Problems By Connie Limon
      The best house training uses the shih tzu’s own instincts to avoid soiling its bed to train the shih tzu where and where not to eliminate. That is the basis behind crate training, in which the shih tzu is confined to its crate in the absence of the owner, and den training, in which the shih tzu is confined to a small area of the home.
