    I'm a proud father of an Akita myself and he's a very gentle boy. Likes to take over the bed like he's king of the hill and loves to play with his ball, or donut. Adopted him a few months after he was born. Poor thing was separated from his sister. It's been 3 or 4 years now since then. Does well with other dogs, children and even people. He..only really gets into a squabble when the opposing animal attacks first, which is a clear cut case of self-defense. He'll jump up on kids and lick'em, but he doesn't realize his own strength, so sometimes I gotta remind him that some other lifeforms aren't as strong as he is, whether big or small. He's on alert when he hears other sounds from outside or other people he doesn't recognize. Other than that, he's truly a really amazing dog. His potential is sky high into the clouds, so I called him Nymbus when he was a puppy.

      I have a question. I had an Akita and he had something I've never another dog have. He was catlike. Meaning, you know when you pick up a dog, they are stiff. When you push against their body, they offer resistance. But not my akita. Picking him up was like picking up a cat. That's the only dog I saw this in.

    It's really great that you emphasize the importance of genetics. Too many people go "there are no bad breeds (true), only bad training", but there are inborn behaviour tendencies and owners need to be aware. I walk an English setter: he has never been a hunting dog, but when he sees a large bird, he instinctively points (goes into the gundog signal pose with one paw up). I also know lots of collies that instinctively herd (children if there are no sheep around!).

      My parents got a new frenchie puppy 3 years ago. Bred for a better physical health by a reputable breeder who has worked tirelessly to improve frenchie lines. Great temper, very social and while a bit stupid, we fell in love with him. We'd take him to the dog park frequently where he played with larger, older dogs and he never met a single mean dog or experienced any trauma. He also frequently had minor play dates with his siblings and half-siblings (same father).
      Cut to him reaching sexual maturity and suddenly all of his good socialisation fell through and he became same-sex aggressive, especially with younger sexually mature males.
      I still take him to the dog park and I take him off-leash in other safe places but I am 120% vigilant and I always, always get him back on leash if I spot another dog regardless of its size or breed. We're slowly working on the same-sex aggression in a way that works for Oscar.
      Apparently (!) his dad is also very same-sex aggressive and generally very territorial and I guess that just happened to surface in Oscar and another of his half-brothers that we saw on a regular basis. The brother has stopped being social with other dogs entirely (the owners honestly should never have had a dog but that's none of my business) and it's only because if my own determination to give our frenchie as many positive new encounters with intact males that Oscar hasn't regressed even further.
      **TLDR genetics matter in more than one way. You *need* to ask your breeder about both parents and you *need* to train your dog as soon as you get it. Get it desensitized and socialized. There are no bad dogs, just misunderstood situations and needs.**
      Oscar is never going to carry on his line, despite his healthy physique and otherwise great temperament just for that tiny flaw. It's not a loss to me or my parents and Oscar lives a fulfilling life both on and off-leash, but the possibility is always there and I am alert and hypervigilant.

      While that's true, there are also retrievers that don't like playing fetch and collies that don't like herding. Breed can give you an idea of behavior characteristics a dog may be more likely to have, but people need to be ready to work with and properly train the dog they get. I honestly feel like people not properly training and socializing their dogs in general (and as appropriate to the particular dog) is more of a problem than breed. That said, I also think there are breeds like Rotties that have gotten too popular at times, not because they're bad but because they're big, strong, smart dogs that can be destructive if they get bored. Note, that I love Rotties and they can be great dogs, but they need training.

    Hi Vanessa. My name is Victoria and I am from Poland. I am currently a beginner groomer with my own small grooming salon. I've been watching both your channels (and subscribing) for many years, even before I chose this profession. I previously wanted to work as a veterinary technician, but that has changed. I want to thank you because you probably don't realize how much you have taught me. Although I have completed a basic grooming course, there are things that only you have taught me. Today, for example, I use your tricks on aggressive dogs, and I'm also going to buy some of the things you use on cats. I watch each of your videos carefully and notice even the little things that can be useful to me. Many of them make my job easier and shorten it by up to 30 minutes. I still have fears about clipping black claws, fortunately there has been no bloodshed because I try to be careful, but your one mention of them has calmed me down a bit and my hands don't shake so much anymore, but I still have that thought in the back of my mind that I will cut too short and hurt my dog. That's why I want to thank you for each of your videos, because each of them is valuable. I hope the day will come when one of my dreams will come true and I will meet you to thank you.

    I had an American Akita, unfortunately he passed 2 years ago during the initial days of invasion towards Kyiv and the massive air raids in our area, he was already weak due to a recent surgery and just couldn't handle the stress of jets and explosions.
    I will always remember him as the sweetest dog breed I've ever owned, they are extremely calm but affectionate and also independent. There is something heartwarming when this sort of huge and dangerous creature is your best friend always asking for a belly rub. They can be dangerous due to the sheer size, but mostly because they don't bother to bark or in any way show aggression like other dogs - no growl, no display of teeth, nothing. The only time I've seen him act defensive is when on walk a small dog did the small dog thing and tried to bite my big boy, after which the small one disappeared between his jaws almost completely. That was thankfully just a warning and the poor thing wasn't hurt, but I never let small unsocialised dogs close to him after.
    He also never liked water and would avoid puddles or mud (and our other dog is a golden, just bathing in mud all the time). It's impossible to get that thick fur wet, even when you try really hard, but on the up side they don't stink as much as other dogs so there's little need for a bath in the first place.

      We dog owners repeat the mistake into believing one's dog will not bite another animal or person. Trust me. It will be irrelevant how much love the dog has for you - and the strength of your bond - we still have to respect other people and leash one's "best behaved" dog. Some people may have $10,000 in the bank to spare in case your well-behaved dog harms another dog or human. However, the potential for harm to you, the owner, is always there too. In summary, please leash you dogs unless they are roaming in your property as small as a patio or backyard.

    I grew up with an almost completely golden blond Akita Inu named Old. No.7, after my dad’s drink of choice. My parents got him the same week I was born and I grew up with him as “my” dog.
    Seven was about half Kahn’s size but definitely lived up to the family/territory protector role as well as the “too smart for his own good” bit. He figured out how to open the gate latch on his inner doggy yard then jumped onto the trash cans and climb them up and over the big outer fence to freedom. Once he was off our property, he metamorphosed from guard dog to neighborhood social butterfly. We’d get calls from friends on the other side of the neighborhood saying they’d seen him trotting down the sidewalk, making friends and playing with neighbor kids. When my dad put an unlocked padlock in the latch, he almost immediately figured out to pop it out. When my dad locked the padlock, Seven went straight Mission Impossible and figured out how to wedge himself between two bushes and use the chain link fence as paw holds to climb the bushes up and over the fence then proceeded on to the trash can steps.

They let me go in and get him because apparently many people had already tried to catch him. He was very mischievous and always getting out of the yard to go visit the neighborhood dogs. Same thing people would call and say by name Chance was here visiting earlier but he has gone now. We had the name and address of every dog in a 20 mile radius from our house. 😅😂❤ he was quite the character! Thank you for your story. Old #7 and Chance would have likely been best friends

      A co-worker had one, from a good breeder, since 9 weeks old. He was a big, sweet bear of a dog. Their friend had him (3 years old) for 2 weeks while they were on vacation. He got out, ended up at the dog shelter. The shelter would not allow the friend to take him out of the shelter, even though owners were contacted & verified the information. Their sweet boy got attacked & merely protected himself & the shelter volunteer that was walking him. So he got labeled as a 'Dangerous Dog.' They had to send him to a farm 'Santuary' as an unadoptable animal or have him euthanized. It took them 2 years and around $8,000 in legal fees to get him back. It is pretty bad when the shelter volunteer has to go to court for the dog (HE PROTECTED ME!!!) against the shelter.

Tore his artery in his bicep and completely mangled his leg, he had to get plastic surgery and get muscle and tissue replaced. Turned out our dog had an infection in his brain, he had shown absolutely no signs of anything until that moment and I thank God that it wasn't one of our toddlers. I miss my dog so much.

Seeing that an average bear weight is somewhere 100+ kg (up to 6-800-1000 kg) I have no doubt that they would have no difficulty in making a bear leave. If they want a fight the Akita will never back down I can tell ou that. Win the fight ? well that is a different answer and it depends on the size of the bear that they encounter. And I also do believe that they could make proper livestock dogs if sufficiently trained in that direction. Just keep in mind that they usually attach 110% to 1 person in family who would be their ultimate master.

      I know why you are saying it but I think it's a dangerous thing to recommend a dog like an Akita as a house dog. To people like you who obviously have learnt about the breed and put in the attention and training this recommendation is fine but there are too many people who buy a dog as a status symbol buy have no idea what they are buying. They don't have the room, the patience, the time, the money and don't care enough to have a dog like this. Instead they strut around with a ticking time bomb on a leash! It's not only Akitas but the big shepherd dogs like the Caucasian shepherd, the Cane Corso etc. They're all becoming fashionable now the pitbull terrier and XL Bullies are being banned all over the world. Soon the backyard breeders will be selling all of these beautiful big dogs and they'll be the dogs everyone is afraid of- until they too are banned.
      Don't recommend them - keep them quiet so that responsible owners can continue to love and enjoy them.

    I have a German shepherd/akita mix, it wasn't a planned litter, but that's besides the point. We did early training, he's excellently well behaved, and introduced him to other dogs and strangers early on. He slowly became more and more protective and weary of other dogs and people. He is extremely lovable and a joy to people who he already trusts, but he has met his limit on people he trusts. We had to come to accept that he wont be able to make friends with other dogs, or meet new people. He is doing what his genes tell him, protect his home and his family. So, when she said they may not like others, there is nothing but truth to that statement. If you are patient and understand the dogs nature, you could end up with the most loyal, loving companion.

    I grew up with an Akita mix - they are stellar dogs, and require a lot of responsive and kind guidance. One of the trickier aspects of the breed is that they don't display body language as overtly as other breeds, which makes it easy for people who don't know dogs to make a mistake worthy of a correction - and a 100lb dog's correction can be big and scary. These dogs are SO loyal and loving, they will straight up be your best friend. I absolutely love the breed, but they are not for an inexperienced dog owner!

    My brother recently got mauled by an Akita that his long time best friend (30+ years) and wife had.
    Broke his fingers and went for his throat in about half a second but he turned his head and got his face fucked up.
    Not saying they're bad owners. My brother loves dogs and has had many "dangerous" breeds like Rots. (Though our Rough Collie was never fixed and I grew up with him and he was a terrible dog and my parents were terrible owners)
    My brother is a decent bit older than me and has been friends with that family for 30+ years.
    It's good if dog owners know their breed, know their temperment, know their triggers, know if they can socialize.
    My brother has his face and hand fucked up for life and was lucky that he turned his head from his good friend's dog.
    A lot of working dogs have a purpose (including our very bad rough collie I grew up with) and it's just not a good idea to have them in urban situations.
    It's not specifically the dog's fault and it's easy for a new owner to get in over their head or not understand socialization because a dog is good at home.

    Akita's are just ridiculously handsome dogs. He was so well behaved for a first timer. Great little lesson on understanding the genetics and the actual purpose of a particular breed. When you have a breed that was designed to be territorial, a guardian and to fight other dogs, don't be surprised at the dog having an "on" switch that can escalate quickly. It's your job as the owner to be aware of this and socialise and train them to mitigate the risks. Also a great acknowledgement on the difference between the Japanese and American dogs. In Japan they don't recognise the American dogs as actual Akita's.

    I had an Akita. He was the absolute sweetest, best dog I have ever owned.

    What a big sweetie! I bet he strutted around like a champ after all the bathing and grooing!

    My last dog was just an akita mix and that breed history still explains quite a bit about his behavior

    He's beautiful. We adopted a Husky when a friend died and she needed a home. Great with children and adults but we have to be careful around small animals because of her hunting instincts. I've never seen an Akita in person but they are certainly beautiful. You did a great job of projecting confidence with him while being careful not to trigger any unwanted behavior.

    What a handsome dog! Takes a lot of care and dedication to keep such an animal healthy and manageable. He requires lots of exercise and good food.
