How to place a topknot in a Shih Tzu

[@toiahgordon8892]

She is so calm. My shihtzu WILL not stay still enough for me to put a top knot!

[@chandrashekharpatil9205]

Sameeee hereeeeee

Omg, my Shih Tzu is Same tooo!!

[@mrcoconut5077]

Mine will bite me if i put my hand too close to his face he doesn't like anyone in his face

[@toiahgordon8892]

[@1rage17]

You need to get a grooming pillow and get them used to having stuff near their face. Use a keyword so they're warned, I use "eyes"

[@nishabijoy7987]

I see this entire process being a success only if my dog is so calm as yours! My Tzu doesn't even like being brushed 😁 First step to a pretty looking Shih Tzu and a sweat free grooming session is to train the dog to be calm and enjoy the process

[@ladyhecate9450]

Thank you for this. I never understood the entire process. You did a great job explaining. Pictures/videos help so much.

[@janetjustice3108]

This is so helpful! I just brought my 4 month old shih tzu puppy home from the groomer with a top knot and bow, it was out in less than a hour.

[@PotAndPlants]

Thank you Sooo much for this video!!! I've tried so hard to correctly place a Bow in my Sheba's only to have her shake it out. I'm definitely going to try this!!!!!

[@LaceyShihTzu]

Stassi is so pretty!

[@BACKYARDGARDENER]

I have a 14 week old Shih Tzu . Her name is diamond very good temperament and smart. She do wear a full coat for now and a top-notch. My hat goes off to you because this is a lot of work everyday.👋

I'll try this with Hewie. He's nine months old and always gets out his top knot. Same with our girl Cocoa, nine years old. At least I don't have to worry about Rowdy, he never wore a top knot since it looks funny on him.

[@iamallama9504]

Whenever my I tie my dogs had she tries and removes it 😂😆😄

[@sugarhoneysweets]

Stassi is obviously very used to it and has had constant top knots since she was just a few months old. I wish my poodle would leave his in, too! But I didn't adopt him until he was 1. :/

I have a Maltese Shih Tzu and she definitely has beautiful Shih Tzu hair. This video was SO helpful! I see the info for the face/feet butter comb. Any suggestions for which comb and/or brush from Chris Christiansen for Shih Tzu body hair? Any other CC products or other companies which are must haves for Shih Tzus? Thx much!! I wish that pillow was still available.

[@supersleuth1231]

“My Chris Christiansen butter comb” I live for the product names on these videos 😂

[@beverlycook4913]

I love playing with the dogs like you do. I want to train it like you have Staissi. Hope I spelled her name right. It's pretty. I like all her white. I have long ponytails on my Maltese. He's getting old, 16. Back to sleeping a lot again.

How would you suggest I find a nice Shih Tzu? Please. You had mentioned it. Not too small, or heavy. I have back problems. Love grooming them. I have a Senior Maltese now...

[@francesmacdonald2234]

Do you have any tips on how to keep my dog slim? I have a Lhasa who had a slipped disk last year, thankfully she recovered completely. She has gained some of the weight that she had lost, and I am afraid her back will go again. I am handicapped, but found a neighbor boy who walks her for me. She only eats at dinner, but of course she does get treats. I really would like any tips you have for me. I love her so much and do not want to watch her suffer again. Thanks for anything you can tell me. She is my fifth Lhasa I have had--just love them.

[@Floridafanatic28]

Ask a vet.

[@trishabailey5200]

i think you should use parting comb as well so that it will help you easy to losen up a little bit

[@colleen4574]

where do you buy the pillow using? It seems to really relax her. I love the bow, where did you find them?

@stassithetzu can you please tell me how you started to train Stassi with her pillow and on the pad? I have a 6 month old shih tzu that I am trying to train on a table and towel so I can do her hair too. Can you please help me with ideas to train her to lie there, thank you!

[@Floridafanatic28]

Try to distract her while you are grooming her. Keep her busy with a toy or something chewy. It will be difficult at first but just keep doing it and eventually she will accept it. Also, as she ages she will calm down. It takes time, but don't give up. One day she will show you she knows exactly what you want and will tolerate what you are doing.

[@Floridafanatic28]

I should also add, let her sniff and explore your grooming tools before you start. These things are new to her so letting her satisfy her curiosity will help her stay more focused on her toy rather than on moving around once you start grooming her. You may have to let her sniff them more than once each session and it may take several sessions before she loses interest in them. Indulge her!

[@cy5292]

Also start slow and reward her with treats. My puppy had a horrible time sitting still when we first got her. With a little time and her cookies she is doing amazing now. I started with very short grooming sessions.

Hi. I'm a new shih tzu owner.. and I have a male one.. do you think I should do the top knot or not? Because mostly I see the one that has top knot is the female, but I like the long hair.. I never had dog before, this is the first time, need a lot of guidance 😁

My shitzu has shorter hair in the front it always hangs over his eyes I take him to the groomer he’s only 5 months but his hair isn’t long enough to do that with because of his bangs they are such a mess if I don’t get him groomed it just hangs in his face like a sheep dog but it’s like layers not all one length like yours suggestions?

Cute stassi.😘😘😘

[@tenderheart621]

Roxanne have you ever had a problem with Stassi when she was younger trying to shake her bows out of her hair, when her hair was shorter? if she did what would you recommend i try. i have tried after i groom Kenlee playing with her and taking her outside to sniff to get her mind off of it. Everything i try she gets it out by lunch and i am going around all day watching with 2 eyes.. lol..any ideas would be appropriated

[@StassitheTzu]

+Cassandra Irwin She never did that so Im not sure. Make sure you dont put the band too tight to where its pulling her eyelids. Also try using very small light bows at first and see if that helps?

[@selena0755]

[@StassitheTzu]

They don't cut the hair as long as you cut them out and don't pull them out

[@alicedemaria1]

That is exactly what I do ! :o) still my long haired doggies have cut hair on their head. Thanks anyway.

[@2Ryled]

Shes a puppy? Is she drugged?? Haha kidding. My toy poodle would be wrestling my hand, biting the bow, the bands and pillow, and everything on that table would be knocked on the floor for her amusement. Your dog is so calm.
