Meet Motzart "Momo" the Shih Tzu
Motzart, nicknamed Momo or Bunny Butt (due to the white spot on his right hip that resembles a white bunny), is a purebred shih tzu. I got him as an eighteenth birthday present from my grandparents. He was only a 3 months old at the time, so I had to house train and kennel train him from the beginning. By the end he learned that when he need to go out to potty to ring the bell on the backdoor, which interestingly enough was on accident. He just heard it everytime he went out and started ringing it to let us know when he needed to go. Momo also had to be taught to stay out of the dining room during dinner, so he wouldn't beg or jump on people as they ate. I loved to spoil him with treats, so I taught him a variety of tricks:
- Sit
- Lay Down
- Stand
- High Five
- Shake
- Dance
- Kiss
- Say Please (barking on command)
