9 Critical Mistakes Shih Tzu Owners Make When Leaving Them Alone

Описание: Many Shih Tzu owners believe their dog is fine being left alone because nothing looks wrong when they come home. The house is quiet. Nothing is destroyed. The dog doesn’t bark or cry. But silence does not always mean comfort.
This video breaks down 9 critical mistakes Shih Tzu owners unknowingly make when leaving their dogs alone, based on real behavioral patterns seen in this breed. Shih Tzus are not independent dogs by nature. They were bred for close companionship, and when alone time is handled incorrectly, they often respond with quiet stress rather than obvious chaos.
You’ll learn why small size does not equal emotional independence, how subtle anxiety shows up only when you’re gone, why overly emotional goodbyes make separation anxiety worse, and how punishment after returning home teaches the wrong lesson entirely. We also explore the long-term effects of silent stress, including behavioral changes, health issues, and emotional shutdown that many owners misinterpret as “calmness.”
This video is not about blaming owners. It’s about understanding how Shih Tzus experience being alone, and how small changes in preparation, routine, and mindset can make a significant difference.
If you live with a Shih Tzu, this is information you don’t want to miss.
