Now dogs are bred mostly as companion pets, but originally, they were used for various jobs; pulling sleds, herding sheep, hunting, guarding, etc. A bored dog is a very unhappy dog, and dogs that have nothing to do will usually fill their time with less than desirable behaviors. Shih Tzu love to play, so having a variety of toys at their disposal is key to having a happy and healthy Shih Tzu.
Different toys have different benefits for dogs. Some toys are for teething, others are for interactive play, while others provide a sense of security. Interactive toys are any toy that encourages your pup to challenge herself, provide mental stimulation and encourage your pup to utilize her problem-solving skills. There are puzzle bones and treat balls that you can hide treats inside, so that your dog has to figure out a way to release them, and there are other toys that you can place smaller components inside for your dog to wrangle free.
Other interactive toys may make certain sounds, vibrate, roll on their own, or light up, and many of these toys are often good for training purposes. Ball toys encourage your dog to get moving and run, so they are a great way to add some exercise into the day.
Since your pup will need you to toss the ball so that she can chase it, ball toys are also a great bonding toy or you and your pup. Then she can roll the ball and chase it, or the two of you can roll it back and forth for a fun game! Most plush toys are great for soft chewers that want to suckle more than chew, which helps relieve stress and anxiety.
