1. We have a female shih tzu...Toileting/chewing issues HELP!?

Does she have a crate? We crate trained our dog, they usually wo not go to the bathroom in their crates if it's the right size. Go back to puppy-style potty training. Take her outside often, and praise her and give her a treat when she goes to the bathroom. If you catch her in the act of going to the bathroom inside, immediately pick her up and put her outside. If you find out she's gone inside the house, it's too late to do anything about that incident, she wo not understand the consequences of the action. For the chewing, make sure she has plenty of toys to chew on, some hard rubber or wooden, and some soft. We have a basket of toys for our dog by the fireplace, and he knows they are all his. We have a 6-month old whose toys are often on the floor in the living room, and somehow our dog has learned that his toys are in his basket, and he never goes after my son's toys. There are bitter sprays that you can buy at pet stores as well that do not taste good to dogs, and you can spray them on the items in your house the dog chews (especially furniture and rugs). Dogs also chew sometimes when they are bored. Your dog might need more attention. Try taking him for walks to wear him out, and/or playing with him outside. The toys might help with the boredom as well. Tired dogs tend not to wreck things in your house.

2. Is it better to train a dog with treats or praise or both?

Is it better to train a dog with treats or praise or both?All dogs have a primary drive, whether that be food, toys, attention, or something else. If they like food the best, then they will do what they need to do to get the food you are offering.For other dogs, toys are more exciting than food and they will do anything to get you to throw them a ball. Some are driven more by attention than food or toys.All three of these work great as rewards for dogs that already know what you are asking.When you want to teach a dog to do something, treats work best because you can actually use the food to lure the dog into the position. You can hold a treat up to a dog's nose, and while keeping his nose attached to the treat, move it back over his head so that when his nose comes up, his bottom goes down. It would be difficult to do this with praise or a toy.However, once you use the treat to teach your dog the initial behavior and he will do it on cue, you can use praise or toys or whatever motivates your dog to reinforce the behavior. You actually want to start weaning your dog off treats at this point, and a good way to do this is through intermittent reinforcement... giving him a treat for every third or fourth sit. This actually becomes a stronger reinforcement for your dog's behavior because he does not know when the treat is coming (like a slot machine).Once your dog will sit on cue every single time, you can start expecting him to do it when you ask him, then rewarding him with praise or toys. This will help strengthen your dog's relationship to you and will cause him to pay more attention to you than to his treats

3. a good beginners electric guitar??

I would recommend starting out on acoustic, then moving over to electric. Just keep in mind that the lower the price of hte guitar, the lower the quality will be. If you are fine with that, then go for a fender squire (about $100) or first act (those are closer to toys than guitars but its up to you). If you really want to start out on electric, probably your best route is to just get a classic fender strat... they are one of the cheaper electrics and certainly the most common. Cheers!
