According to American Kennel Club, Shih Tzu's are known to be affectionate and playful dogs. When it comes to training, it is best to use positive reinforcement. Using plenty of praise and rewards can help when training this small dog breed.
Clemson is a two-year-old Shih Tzu who lives with his dog dad, Bob, in South Carolina. Bob describes Clemson as an "all around funny" kind of guy who enjoys doing tricks for a piece of ice from Bob's cup.
Bob wanted to take extra safety precautions with Clemson. It was important to know that he was always safe in their yard. Invisible Fence of the Coastal Carolinas was able to recommend the Boundary Plus Wired System to help Bob eliminate feeling worried about Clemson venturing too far when he is outside.
The Boundary Plus Wired System was recommended by Invisible Fence of the Coastal Carolinas. This system allows Bob to feel comfort in having taken extra precautions to ensure that Clemson is safe in his yard. The Boundary Plus Wired System is the original advanced pet fence technology. It offers the longest range, the most room to play and exclusive free pass. Traditional dog fencing takes away play area in the yard and is easy for your pet to run through; however, the Boundary Plus Wired solution prevents "break outs" by creating the boundary based on time, not distance.
"I know if we have any problem our Invisible Fence company would be there for us." - Bob
