...how much time?

Try to not over excite him 10 minutes before and as soon as you come back or he'll miss you even more and be very tormented all the while you are gone. It's not bad: ignore him for 10 minutes before leaving and coming back. When you are indeed with him have some quality time and it'll all be fine. To spoil also will make him suffer because he becomes dependent. Also: think very well what you'll do and allow him while he's a baby. Most people are like this: when they are puppies and cute they hold them high and allow them in the bed, then they grow up and they are not allowed to that anymore or other things, people don't know but Dogs have a 2 year old human child's intelligence and will be depressed cause they remember and feel less loved so think really well and whatever you give him as a baby, give him as an adult as well please.

Hi! having a dog is a big responsibility. Especially shih tzu's From what I gathered, they need a regular grooming, haircut, nailcut and of course regular visits to the vet. Also, shih tzu's are a very loving and smart breed of dogs. My advise, spend time even for a few minutes before going to bed or in any time that you can squeeze him in your schedule to just pet him or feed him or even cuddle him for a few minutes. In that way, he would still feel loved. And you can actually talk to your dog, tell him that you really want to spend the whole day with him its just that there's a lot of things that you're doing. He would understand that

Hey jenneyvonne, how come you had a new dog suddenly? did you purchase the dog or someone had given it to you? It's really nice to hear that you are thinking of going back to school. I think that is a really nice idea and you should pursue it. You are right, no matter how much you love the dog, you cannot be with it all day because you still need to work, and need to run errands for the family. I think you need to try and organize your time and set certain timing for working and for running errands for your house and then you can leave the rest of the time your your cute little dog!

Hi there. I have heard that Shih Tzu is a lively dog and always need a companion and affection. So I think even if you are busy, there will always be someone who can look after your dog or just a company for your pet not to get bored. About the time? I think just spend some time with him/her for bout and hour or two. Anyways, I think you are not planning to spend your whole day with your pet. Just be productive on the hours that you will spend with him or her. Say hi to your dog

I am sure you love Shh Tzu very much. So you always want to be with him whenever. But that is impossible. As you know, everybody has 24 hours per day, we have to eat, drink, go to work, go to school etc... Therefore, we have to study the ways to balance them. Wish you find the best method !
