An occasional bath perhaps, every 6 to 10 weeks for it is good to let the natural oils of the pores help the skin. The Shar-pei, just like any other dog, should receive basic obedience training that will make him a good companion for the whole family and a joy to have in your home. Shar-pei learn quickly and are easy to train. Attendance in dog training classes with your Shar-pei is an excellent way to get help with training problems and to continue the socialization of your Shar-pei to include new dogs and people outside your home.
