Does it work well on shih-tzus? I tried pawz on mine and it is very hard to put on due to the fur.

We put them on a Bichon with little trouble. Not sure how pawz are made but these are smooth on the inside and slide on fairly easily and the straps wrap around the outside and secure with velcro. Hope this helps.

We have a Shih Tzu and they work well. Plenty of space to account for the fur. It is easy to tighten using the Velcro.

It works on my curly poodle, so I think it will be fine for a shih-tzu. But take care putting them on so the fur doesn't get caught in the Velcro.

Since I do not have, nor have I ever had, a shih-tzu, I can not answer that question. What I can say is this. I, personally, do not think there is any shoe you can buy for your dog that will work. I mean, think about it for a minute, how easily does a dog like to have his claws clipped. They do not. My Chihuahua does not even like me to touch her feet, let alone try to put on, and keep on, shoes, or boots, of any kind. As for the other people who answered that their dogs love them, or whatever, good for them. For me, these were a waste of money.

I have a Shetland Sheepdog, lots of fur, and they stayed on well. The size chart from the company was accurate for sizing. They have been the best boot I have found. L. Vanlo

It's not the easiest to put on, especially if your dog is squirmy like mine. I found it worked best when I laid them on their backs. My main problem with these were that too were too stiff for my little 8lb dogs.

Both of my dogs are furry. I have to admit, it is not easy to put them on bc the fur gets caught on the non-slip pads, but it's not that bad. You just have to adjust and smooth out the fur a little after the bootie is on.

First of all, love this harness! Will she get any bigger? I ordered a small for my then 6lb shih-tzu and it was perfect! She is now coming up on 8lbs and I see the neck opening is getting a bit tight & I may be ordering the medium soon. Also take into consideration that shih-tzus are bulkier than poms so your baby's neck might be thinner :)

It should work with a front harness. We have two hounds (fox hound, and beagle). They pull HARD on a normal leash, so we use front harnesses. Surprisingly enough, when they walk together on the tandem leash, they don't pull. We've actually started using their regular harnesses with this leash.

Yes you won't have a problem! I love it. I have a 12lb shih tzu and you could fit 2 easy. I love it!! :)

Once it's properly adjusted, it's no more difficult to put on than a standard harness. My dog doesn't really like harnesses to begin with, so it's a bit of a struggle with her. However, if your dog doesn't mind harnesses, this should be very easy!

You need to measure your shitzu's paws and pick the right size. I wouldn't know.

may not. my pom keeps it on, but my yorkie always manages to get it off. it's a good product. I may try to double tape and see if that works.good luck.

Hi, did you end up trying this? I want to order it for my husky and curious if it works! Thank you!

I have a boxer and I got her a large. She's about 50 lbs. It fit her really well. After a few hours she didn't even know it was on... Until she got stuck in the doggy door :). It's so much better than the plastic cone of death.

The fit depends more on the length, rather than the width, of your dog's paw and foreleg. I bought these for my terrier mix, and they rub his forelegs too much, he can't wear them. I like PAWZ much better.

to be honestI tried it on full for my dogHe let out a little yip in response but otherwise ignored the collar. I eventually gave up. (If he is not in an enclosed area, nothing will prevent him from running around and hassling cats)

It works best on long nosed dogs. So it will work well on a doberman. It is adjustable and if u follow the instructional DVD that comes with it you will have awesome results. I did. I love this item. My dog still trys to get it off, but it makes it a million times easier to walk her. And if you start your puppy on this I'm sure he or she will walk very well on just a collar leash afterwards

I like Petsafe because we have Shih Tzus and they have a very tight knitfur making it very thick and hard for anything to penetrate. The Petsafefencing is able to penetrate and keep them in our electric fence line verywell.Hope this helps.Donna/BookTiger

I'm not sure what the Pawz are made from, but I believe some other reviews mention them tearing, so you might want to look at that. Plus, you need to consider how long your dog's nails are--will they either push through the Pawz, be felt through the Pawz, or will it be uncomfortable for your dog? I really can't answer these questions but you might find some answers in other reviews, or buy a set and experiment. Hope all goes well for you at Day Care!

I have 2 Shih Tzu's, I bought one for each of them to sprawl out on. The two of them together would barely fit on this. I would say it can fit a 40 lb dog comfortablely.

I put mine on a german shepard,it really worked good,it worked to good,it zapped my dog so much she only wore it for 5 minutes.if it doesnt do what you want,when your wonderful dog barks grab him by the scurff of the neck until its almost off its feet and say no,it hurt me to do this but her parents use that method in the wild.it really works. merry christmas.
