Do you know Hana and Duncan? I always thought Shih Tzus were smart and easy to train if you understand them. Did you know them before watching Zoey and Ryder? They are just keeping the family legacy going. #shihtzu

Are any of you professional dog trainers? I am curious if I am training my Shih Tzus right or if you have any tips. Thanks! ☺️

Hi Puzzle gurus! I have a question for you. Have you taught your dog any commands or tricks? Is anyone interested in getting the AKC Trick Dog title?
I really want you all to experience what I am experiencing with Zoey and Ryder: better communication. It used to feel like we spoke two different languages, but now we have learned each other’s language enough to talk about basic everyday stuff. Not politics or science yet, though! 😉
How about you? Do you feel the same way? Please share your experiences!

The "Twin" Search!
Is your pup a Ryder look-alike? 🐾
We’ve noticed so many comments saying your dogs look just like Ryder! We want to see the family resemblance. Is it the eyes? The color? The ears? That specific Shih Tzu "smush"?
Drop a photo of your Ryder "twins" in a YouTube community post—we’d love to see them all! 👇

Happy Monday, puzzle gurus! Zoey’s AKC Trick Dog Performer patch arrived, so I put it on her harness to brag about it in public. 😂 But I guess most trick dogs are big dogs, because the patch is a little too big for Zoey—it covers her whole chest! lol. Do you think she’s still cute? 🥰

Hi puzzle gurus! Happy Thursday! ♥️
Since my channel’s top search keywords are "chicken jerky" and "black Shih Tzu," I decided to make a video showing you how to make 100% organic human-grade turkey jerky dog treats right at home!
The video goes live tomorrow, Friday 5/15/26, at 8:00 AM Pacific Time!
Ryder “the black Shih Tzu” and our Trick Dog Performer Zoey will be doing a taste test at the end.
I’ll also show you exactly how many treats I made from 2 lbs of ground turkey breast and compare the cost to see if it's cheaper than store-bought human-grade treats like Full Moon.
I hope you find this informative and interesting! Have you ever tried making homemade dog treats? Please leave a comment below and let me know.
