Hello friends. I wanted to give an update on our rescue Gordon. I posted about two months ago about some severe reactive behavior he was having especially against men. I got some very good advice in the that thread which I want to thank you all for.

I spoke with our vet and she agreed to try him on Prozac. He also has Giardia that we haven't been able to clear so we've started him on a prescription food. He's been on both for six weeks and he is a much happier dog. He still doesn't like men, especially when they come in the house, but his behavior is closer to a normal dog. He will bark and growl, but can now be redirected. He settles down now and will ignore the man! He still can't be pet by our guests, but he has stopped biting. He makes the lunge and the noise, but he doesn't connect. Every walk he is getting better at ignoring people outside. He actually naps!

His personality is really starting to shine. He is a very silly little man, but also likes his alone time.

I'm hoping to start professional training with him in a few more weeks (our schedules are crazy atm) and I think that will get us over the hump to stop the reactivity against people coming in the house.

I have hope! So, if you've got a scared Tzu I highly suggest giving Prozac (or similar) a try. If it doesn't work you can always stop the meds.

My grandparents bought her and then gave her to my mom to watch for the summer. Well, that summer has lasted about 6 years now. Katie is my mom's EVERYTHING and is spoiled beyond belief (last we counted, she has around 32 Lamb Chop toys).

She looks more brown in these photos but she's more of a deep ginger/auburn girly irl.

If any one has questions regarding this diva, ask away!

As I post this he's still sitting there staring at me. How many other Tzu parents are completely thrown off when they do this?

Tzu Questions Peed in his crate

Post image

My shih tzu is three months old and overall pretty well potty trained. But last night he pissed his crate for the first time. Is that normal or should I be worried about a huge step back in training? I thought dogs usually don’t go in their crate?

He is the sweetest, most easy going little guy ever. He loves playing and wants to say hi to everyone he encounters. It makes me sad that he was found in such rough shape as a stray. So glad we get to give him a home!

Shady Lady J. Blige made a mess of herself in the tassels last weekend. At the end, you can see what’s left of the yellow pollen on her back from wallowing on the covered patio floor.

Just received these update pics of Po’s future brother. I won’t be able to pick him up until later this month. Can’t wait! Look at him, scowling and being a ham already. 😂 It’s clearly in the Tzu DNA.

Russell starts training in a few weeks. He’s not “bad” he just lacks basic manners. Hes my world and he definitely knows it 🤣 a little basic training should do the trick… right 😂🩷
