Shih Tzus protect themselves primarily through their vocalizations, as they are known to bark to alert their owners of potential threats. Their small size makes them less capable of physical defense, so they often rely on their agility to evade danger. Additionally, they may seek comfort or safety by retreating to familiar spaces or staying close to their owners. Their friendly and affectionate nature also helps them bond with people, which can deter potential threats from approaching.
