If you ever have to leave the puppy alone, don't let the dog roam your home until he's a year old. He's not mature enough for that responsibility. Instead putting him in a confined area or a room with a child safety gate is the best.

You can schedule his diet after he's twelve weeks old.

Puppies that are eight weeks to three months old can eat as often as four times a day.

After twelve weeks of age, the puppy can be fed at regular daily times. At six months to one year old, the dog can eat two times a day. After one year of age, the dog can eat one or two times a day.

Remember too there will be accidents when house training your shih tzu. Initially always praise him when he eliminates outside. Don't say anything about accidents.

Take him outside to eliminate at the same times daily. You might take him outside first thing in the morning. After he eats, let him go outside again. Do this after every time he eats or drinks. Again always compliment the Shih Tzu puppy for eliminating outside.

Let the puppy drink water every three to four hours which would be four to five times daily. After he's through drinking, let the puppy go outside.

At this rate the puppy will be going outside about five or six times a day
