Your Dog’s Best Friend

Rescuing a dog is a rewarding experience.  Adoption is the last and most crucial step in taking a
dog that had little hope and giving it a happy and fulfilling life.  Unfortunately, a few dogs have
difficulty in adjusting to their new home.  And not every adopter knows how to effectively help the
dog adjust to its new home environment and to the activities of its new family.  Shih Tzu Rescue
of Minnesota is always willing to advise adopters regarding basic behavior or obedience training at
any time.  But if you feel that you need additional help with specific training or behavior issues for
the Shih Tzu you adopted from STRMN, Your Dog’s Best Friend is available for private, in-home
training sessions with you and your dog.  The training session(s) is meant to intensively address
specific behavior issues, and is not intended as a substitute for general dog obedience training.  
Your Dog’s Best Friend has generously agreed to provide training at a reduced rate for dogs
that have been adopted from STRMN.  

Here is an excerpt from Your Dog’s Best Friend’s website that explains how they will work with
your dog:

“At Your Dog's Best Friend, we spend our days hosting dog groups where we teach owners
how to "Dog Whisper" and help dogs socialize in a positive environment.  We work with
several veterinary hospitals and rescue agencies to create great dogs when all hope seems
to be lost.  We do in-home training to help dog owners rehabilitate dogs with behavior
problems and learn how to manage the dog’s behavior themselves.” 

To receive further information and schedule an appointment with Your Dog’s Best Friend, visit
www.YDBF.org or email owner Max Bitterman: Max@ydbf.org and mention Shih Tzu Rescue of
Minnesota.

In-home Sessions:  $150 for 1 hour

Rehabilitation Programs: $300 for 4 weekly sessions (one session per week).  
Each session lasts at least 2 hours.

These special prices reflect more than 50% off the regular retail rate for services.
STRMN strongly endorses the use of a harness when walking your dogs.  The trachea of a Shih Tzu is very fragile and can fracture easily from any pulling.  UDogU has supplied our rescue with harnesses for years, and although our rescue does sell these at our Reunion each year, we have now entered into a partnership with UDogU allowing you to go online to their website, order anything at a 15% discount, with 5% of the sales returning to STRMN as a donation from UDogU!

The Canine Way near Minneapolis, MN was founded with the vision of helping owners understand their dog’s behavior to help mold a better relationship with you and your canine. Our training style is behavior based that practices nurturing the mind to be more in tune to handle different environments and situations in a safe and calm matter. But, ultimately trusting and respecting the owner’s decisions. We are equipped to help all owners and canines from different walks of life, and strive to support you and your family to understand the stress free way of owning a dog.

Pricing:
Our Private sessions are $125 for fosters and their resident dog. To adopters it is $150 per private session. We do offer classes that we encourage adopters to take because it is weekly support along with social exposure therapy. Our classes  are $150 for Canine 101 ages 6mo and up. Puppy Basics $100 for puppies 2mo-5mo. We offer AKC classes as well.
As a partner with Bissell, Shih Tzu Rescue of Minnesota is listed on bissell.com’s Partners for Pets Participating Shelters page. We are also eligible to receive grant funding, sweepstakes giveaways and contests, and to participate in Bissell’s Empty the Shelters events.
