Chinese Shar-Pei
Chinese Shar-Pei Training
The main ingredient to training a Shar-Pei puppy is patience. They're willful little rolls who don't like being told what to do. Begin training your puppy as soon as you bring it home. Shar-Peis get more headstrong with age, so try to soak as many lessons while they're young. Housebreaking your puppy will be easy, so you should focus the attention on obedience. Puppy classes can be very beneficial for Shar-Peis to socialize, socialize, socialize! They tend to be the dominant dog, so take advantage of any opportunity to put them in their place. This can be a difficult breed to break, both as a puppy and as a mature adult, so it's best suited for an experienced dog owner. Give your puppy lots of positivity, pets and treats, and stay patient throughout the process.
Selecting a Chinese Shar-Pei Puppy
Chinese Shar-Pei Puppy Ears
Shar-Pei has high-set, triangular ears that are small and rounded at the tips. They should lie flat against the head, but have the ability to move. Healthy puppies will have clean ears with no signs of discharge, redness, inflammation or pungent odour. If the puppy is aggressively scratching or pawing their ear, tilting their head or excessively flipping their head, it may also be a sign of discomfort. Breeds with floppy ears are more prone to infection or disease.
