You could try getting Sissy acclimated to a crate inside or a comfortable bed. Also, feeding Sissy all of her meals inside will help get her more comfortable with being indoors. Making use of an Adaptil collar for both Sissy and your Shih tzu may help resolve some of the anxiety they may be experiencing.
