Shih tzu puppies teeth grow from four to six months, therefore mouthing is very common then. If not gotten under control by the time the shitzu gets older, not only will you have a less cooperative dog to handle, but also a bigger, stronger jaw to cope with.

Providing appropriate items for a dog to concentrate on can at times be an easy way of solving a mouthing habit. Indestructible chew toys like large nylon bones or hard rubber Kongs can provide a good solution for shitzu puppies.
