Prepare for unexpected vet bills
A Shiranian is a lovable, cheerful, and energetic little dog with parentage of Shih Tzu and Pomeranian. They are suitable for almost any family dynamic, including couples, singles, families with children, and retired couples. No matter your household, you are sure to find your Shiranian enjoys being by your side and taking part in a range of activities. Even though they are small, they need a reasonable amount of physical and mental stimulation. Therefore, you may like to try these activities below to make sure they stay out of trouble and thoroughly entertained!Â
Trying to keep your Shiranian out of trouble when they have a cheeky side is a challenge, but if you can ensure you keep their minds busy, it’s a lot easier than you think. Have you thought about teaching them to dance? Shiranians are intelligent dogs, picking up most skills and tricks with relative ease. Dancing is an excellent option too because it doesn’t cost any money, requires only treats and tidbits you have at home, and is something you can do over several days and weeks in 10-minute time slots. What’s more, it’s the perfect rainy-day activity when you can’t get outdoors for a walk.Â
If your Shiranian is bored and you have five minutes to spare throughout days or weeks, then it might be time to teach them a cool trick such as high-five. The best parts about such activity are that it’s not that difficult to learn, and your doggo can be the life of any party. All you need is a treat, and it’s also an activity you can do in all weather. For the entire time that you are teaching your Shiranian, you will also find all their attention is on you, leaving them less time to get into trouble!Â
Given the small size of your Shiranian, you will be pleased to know that you don’t always have to dig deep to come up with creative physical activity options. Instead, your dog will be happy with a walk. However, it doesn’t have to be the same walk, route, and distance every time. You can change up this free, sunny-day activity in any way you like. All you need is half an hour, a leash, a waste bag, and an excited Shiranian eagerly waiting at the door to head out! You can then go for a walk to get rid of all that pent-up energy.Â
Shiranians are small dogs that love nothing more than to curl up with you on the couch, or even sit on your knee. If they spend more time around you than anywhere else, then you can learn how to massage your dog to improve their circulation and remove muscle knots. Apply pressure and gently rub your hands around their head, neck, and shoulders in a circular motion. They are bound to love how relaxed it makes them feel! Â
Grooming can be quite an expensive activity which is why it’s an excellent idea if you learn how to groom your Shiranian yourself. All you need to do is outlay a bit of money for the clippers and combs, then set about making it something to which your pampered pooch looks forward.
Shiranians are pawsitively delightful pups with a lot of love to give – even from such a small body! Despite the fact that you need to do quite a bit to keep these cheeky wee pups out of trouble, you will find every moment you spend with them is a pleasure. This intelligent breed is one that’s well worth adopting if you ever have the opportunity.Â
