Expert Answer

The Shih Tzu is not very intelligent, ranking 70th among breeds, so training is hard and needs very patient repetition to achieve good results. But it is gentle, lively, small and cute with almost no aggression, suiting a family companion and ornamental dog.

In addition, it is very dependent on its owner and loves to cling, so the owner should give it more love.
