Who wrote this rubbish? And why? Video voiceover, “However, before you bring one home, it's important to do your research as this breed can be quite difficult to train and live with at times. This video will explore why you shouldn't get a Shiba Inu, no matter how cute they may be. From their strong-willed personality to their high energy levels, we'll cover all the potential downsides of owning this popular breed.” The Shiba is a “popular breed” because they are lovely pets. Duh! They are intelligent, loyal, sensitive, escape artists, stubborn, and everything else. I would never let my Shiba, the Great Gatsby, listen to such fictitious, hurtful BS. 😵💫 It would be more realistic to say that Shibas grow horns and make your furniture a cesspit for skin-destroying fungi that recite poetry. Give me strength. How did this end up in my feed? It's meant to be a joke, right? From the video: “5 Reasons Not to Get a Shiba Inu Dog 1. Shiba Inus are not a Meme 2. Shiba Inus are Strong-willed and Stubborn - Difficult to Train! 3. Shiba Inus are Escape Artists 4. Shiba Inus Can Be Dog and Cat Aggressive 5. Shiba Inus Can Be Destructive if Left Alone Too Much” ‘Nuff said. Oh, for the record, Inu is the Japanese word for dog. So, “5 Reasons Not to Get a Shiba Inu Dog” effectively says “5 Reasons Not to Get a Shiba Dog Dog.” Social media can be a real pain in the ass.
My shiba is 11 yrs old, I’ve had her since she was 12 WEEKS old. She’s definitely stubborn and hard to train because they want to do what they want. However she’s always been very obedient and well mannered. They’re loyal and people pleasers. Yes she always has to be on the leash but she’s never been one to break loose from the yard. I love her and will always have shibas from now on
How much daily exercise does your Shiba get? I find people with "bad dogs" simply do not give them enough exercise. Otherwise, I agree, a Shiba is a great dog. They just need to have an outlet for their anxiety in form of activity, much like people, dogs need dopamine and gain that through activity/exercise, otherwise get bored and anxious.
keep working with your Shib.... the NUMBER ONE thing to do is get her to sniff the hell out of your neighborhood; #2 is: TWICE a day on the same route is a MUST.... if the door opens and she bolts DO NOT PANIC!!!!! it will suck royally when you arrive home and the dog is looking at you like: where have you been? were you lost? yeah, you want to scream but Shiba Inus do it WAY BETTA
I've been the proud Shiba Parent of 5 Fantastic Shiba Inus over the past 17 years. It started with my sweet baby Nikko at 8 weeks old. We just had to say our Goodbyes in July after having him 15 years 😢. For every reason there is not to have one, I can think of 💯 to say Yes! We have two right now. They all have different personalities. They love their families, and Love having Shiba siblings to play. We have had Shiba puppies, 2 rescue Shibas, one with special needs (He was the Sweetest Gift from God Ever!). I wouldn't trade the time with Any of My Shiba Babies For Anything! If you have the time, the energy, and the patience, they will make it worth Every Minute! ☮️💞🦊 I wish they All could have stayed longer on this Earth, but, God called them across the Rainbow 🌈 Bridge. God has plans for them I believe...
I've had my Shiba for about 6 months now (he's about 10 months old), and so much "don't get a Shiba" videos are so exaggerated. I did a lot of research before and after getting him, and these videos caused me to be concerned for no reason at all. He's been very easy to train, loving, and well behaved. They aren't any harder to train or deal with than other dogs I've had. I feel like a lot of these "Shiba are so difficult and stubborn" videos are just to make them seem inaccessible and mysterious for some reason. They're just dogs. They're great
@Bob Bobfrey My shiba died Friday at 14 years old. She was one of the sweetest dogs I’ve ever met. She knew if you just needed to sit with her. She was super quiet, except for at the vet, and was super patient with little kids. I agree some shibas are mischievous and jumpy but many aren’t. She only shiba screamed at the vet or when we clipped her nails. My other shiba chews up slippers but he is also pretty quiet and will be loving at times and he is the most jumpy, scared, paranoid dog I have ever met. I get your point but my shiba was the sweetest dog I’ve known and has set the bar very high for any pets that came before her and will come after her.
My shiba is almost 5, and grew up with a cat in the home. They are good friends. My shiba routinely rushes to my cat's aid if and when a stray gets in the backyard and a fight gets going. IMO, The initial owner of a puppy is critical with this breed. If mistreated and put up for adoption, likely ruined for many years regardless of subsequent owner's love and care. I love mine and she is a absolute blast.
Yes, finally someone mentioned this critical point. The initial owner is very if not the most important factor for cats and dogs on how they behave afterwards. I've had cat that was abused by his original owner and the cat became almost impossible to train after that
This breed is related to the "wolf " that's why you should not own one of these if you have children. They just don't want to scare you, that's why it wasn't mentioned it's related to "wolves" Just check out his teeth. Look familiar right? Like the wolves and when they growl, they show their wolf fangs.🦊
I agree with some of it. But my Shiba stay home all day while I’m working and he’s totally fine. He doesn’t destroy any shoes or anything in the house. Basically he can sleep all days and entertains himself.
My son has one, just leave it home while you out for work, monitor through his iPhone just sleep all day and entertains himself; very playful active and friendly, seldom barks, listen to orders. Nice dog👍
Your best bet by far, unless you are super anal about tricks and obedience and are willing to put massive time and effort into your dog, is to accept that your Shiba will be a faithful and loyal companion, but aside from a few basics, like housebreaking and not pulling on the leash, you will not have a pet that obeys you on command, or is anxious to please, or will do tricks when your friends come over. Set the bar fairly low for behaviour and save yourself a lot of work. Otherwise, get yourself a German Shepherd or Border Collie or some other anxious to please breed. Shibas definitely are NOT.
My daughter has a Shiba Inu. Her Shiba actually turned me into a dog lover. I never cared for them until this dog. He’s 10 months old now and the smartest most obedient animal I have ever seen. Very lovable too. Our whole family is in awe of this dog. For his age to be so smart with such a personality! My daughter has socialized him with other dogs and people. That is the main thing you need to work on with your training with this breed. Love him!❤
This is the GREATEST compliment to the breed for I have heard it MANY times now; they are a cat in a dog's body, they bother no one really and truly...
In the right hands, and with good care and training, and lots of love, that's all no surprise. I think many of the negative points really come into play for people who are not able to meet the Shiba's need correctly (or don't anticipate them). They need exercise and get naughty if they don't get it, they become aggressive towards other dogs if they aren't socialized, when under-stimulated they'll put their smart brains to work on escaping. Your family seems to appreciate it's strengths and characteristics, so it's not using them for any mischief.
Shiba are exceptionally clean though. They hate getting dirty and if they do they clean themselves. They are well known for their scream though when being bathed but I love mine. They are a handful in the first year but great once they have matured.
Shiba make the saddest rescue cases because they are still attached to their original owner. Based on the amount of ppl who have "returned" their rescues during covid, I would say that it's safer to start with "reasons not to get a Shiba" especially ppl who are fickle. (Many exist.)
I guess my shiba is weird. She lives with another cat and shares food and toys, does that too with other dogs at home when they come. She is easy to handle, goes without a leash, behaves very well in restaurants and bars. I've never had a dog before and this one won me all over for her gratitude and love :) To me these are the reasons to get a shiba inu :)
Sure it's a pure Shiba? That no leash thing sounds wrong lol....unless you mean indoors...if you socialize them with other people when young they can do pretty good most of the time...but outside with no leash? naaa....maybe some 100 plot of land in the middle of nowhere lol
My shiba inu is my 5th dog (not counting foster dogs I kept while volunteering in rescue centres). She is the most free spirited, primal, strong willed soul I've come across. It took us a while to bond and build trust, but now she's incredibly bonded to me, cooperative, loyal, sweet hearted. Really smart girl who helped me question myself. Shibas are only for families which will invest the time to socialize, exercise and educate them in a cooperative way. They become great life companions with that dedication.
Shiba has been a great choice for us. Smart, obedient, loyal and super friendly. We trained her well. She follows us everywhere. No leash is no problem. She loves other animals especially other shibas. She loves all the family, no particular person. Very tame and very social when we go out. Attention and training are key. Love is paramount.
Dogs, regardless of "breed" are like people, no 2 have the same exact temperament. I'm on my second and neither of them were stubborn. People talk about the terrible "Shiba Scream" my 2 don't even bark, never experienced that. The problem is that people like to put certain breeds into stereotypes, like we do people. People villainize Pitbulls as vicious, but some are the most gentle dogs I've ever encountered.
Oh my gosh thank you for posting this and sharing this the key word was love.... And it seems so many people get dogs for the wrong reasons they don't understand that they need so much love... But it is so true with the human isn't it?
My shiba Inu came from a Amish family that left it outside in a cage with his siblings and mom for most of its 8 week life. He didn’t know how to react to the toys we got him, but after patience and lots of playtime outside. He is the best decision I have ever made.
These past few days watching my crypto portfolio decline is very disheartening. Holding doesn't really profit much. Any ideas on how to earn better on the short run?
These are what beginners do think, me to I used to think the same way... Thank God I met Mrs Regina Andrew ...she helped me in trading and inculcate how the market works..
I have a shiba inu, and yes the things you listed are right! He escaped his cage more than 4 times and he is an definetly super smart dog! But i promise you that shiba inus are not the naughty and aggresive as you think..They are super loyal and they r definetly worth it..and yes shibas might not engage with thier owners alot and act like they dont care about you...but if u actually need help they will always be there for u❤
Don't. If you don't realize how difficult they are you'll be making a horrible mistake. They are similar to a Dalmatian, Jack Russell or Belgian Malinois. If you are not familiar with these breed you're in for a very rude awakening. It isn't their looks.... it is their behavior. Get a dog that fits your lifestyle. There is going to be a ton of these in the shelters soon enough when people can't cope with the dog they bought.
My son has 3 Shebas. I have NEVER seen such well trained dogs. They will go for a long walk in the morning and evening, with a short walk at about noon. NO Accidents in the house at all. They don't bark. They act Cat Like. When my son yells "Police Raid" all 3 dogs run to the wall and put their paws up and spread their back paws. The only thing I dislike about these dogs is the amount of shedding. Hair is ALL OVER THE PLACE!
They're escape artists, all right. Mine, once slit a second-story window screen, hugged the side of the building and slid to the ground before taking himself for a walk.
Did he come back? And is it usual for them to return after they disappear? Ive always wanted a shiba but I would hate to lose it forever if they escaped
as someone who has had 5 shiba's, this video hit the mark. true story: my fuji (now passed) tricked me out of my dinner twice. i live alone and eat on the couch in front of the tv. he went to the kitchen door way acting like he wanted out, so i sat my plate down and went and opened the door for him when i turned around he was enjoying my dinner, the second time i had forgotten the door was already open and again he was eating my dinner.. 3rd time he tried it i took my plate with me... you could latterly see the expression on his face "damn it, the human figured it out" he never tried that trick on me again. boy do i miss that little shit. my newest shiba sam... at 6 weeks old when we first brought him home, we were out in the yard with him and he caught a mouse before we even noticed there was one. i lost track of how many he has gotten since then. so yeah good hunters.
I bonded with my girl Sheba at first sight. The most beautiful dog I had ever seen, it was a magical moment. I went inside and laid down on the couch, we both fell asleep with her laying across my chest. A year later I got another one, a male and he did the exact same thing. Folks, the bond between these beautiful animals is as real as it gets, I cannot explain it other than share the story. I believe a Sheba picks its person more than a person picks a Sheba.
It’s hard but it’s possible. My shiba is off leash. Took one month of hard core drilling it in. Keep them active and you can actually train them. It’s just x100 harder than training other breeds (from my knowledge of training other dogs.) If you are committed to your dog you can train any dog. No dog is easy to train.
It is the loyalty, most of all. Fair warning from my own experience. #1. The dog was found, a runaway from a previous owner. #2. I agree, Very Intelligent. One night on a 2.5 Mile Walk however, the route was not a simple out and back so I knew the way but the Shiba Inu was persistently looking in the wrong direction (we both were tired enough to head home). It was not until he reached a 2nd spot he had marked with pee that he realized that yes, I was heading in the correct direction. This was when he was older but not elderly by any means.
..if I sound detached it is because the owner, not the dog, is someone I don't keep in touch with now. I'm pretty sure that while it missed her while she spent so much time away, the Shiba Inu knew I loved dogs. No doubting that.
I have a Shiba Inu. And I know there are a lot of people who get dogs for their looks. Shiba Inu‘s need to be trained and they are super energetic so they take a lot of time. But they are awesome. And don’t ever buy a cheap Shiba Inu! If it is cheap it is a backyard bread Shiba Inu.
@@briicksyy most byb dogs won’t have health testing to insure your dog will be healthy, they won’t show the parents and you won’t know if they were kept well, they probably won’t look like a well bred shiba
I've heard horror stories from shiba owners and I have not experienced it. Yes they are very strong willed and HIGHLY intelligent and have a VERY high prey drive. HOWEVER, I think the issue is, unlike pomeranians and retrievers, They are not the kind of dogs that you can get away with spoiling or with very little training and discipline. They are NOT for first time dog owners and they are definitely not for owners you have a problem with training and disciplining their animals correctly. Also what works for a pitbull will not work for a shiba inu. if you think disciplining them means raising your voice and being mean, you are very wrong. Shiba Inus are also very sensitive. I have to train my girl more firmly than I do the other dogs but yet more gentle. For my pitbull/boxer, I have to scold her a lot more firmly. However with my shiba, i have to be firm with her but not scold unless absolutely necessary ( for example if she's about to run into the street or do something that could harm her or another animal). People also forget or don't realize that shibas are HUNTING dogs. 🐶 They have been bred for a particular purpose. And because they are bred to hunt they are very intelligent, alert, and prone to attacking smaller animals, even if they seem to be getting along with them in your presence. There have been countless complaints of a shiba attacking or killing the family cat they grew up with. There had been a story of two shibas killing a newborn baby. They need a tremendous amount of work when it comes to recall and are very wolf-like in their behavior in that they can be elusive or aggressive towards other dogs or humans if they do not know them and if they have not been socialized. They also have to CONSTANTLY be socialized. During the pandemic my girl didn't see other people as much. She saw other dogs outside at their gates but never had to interact with people as much as she did before. She reverted back into a wild state and became very mistrustful of strangers and would either hide in between my legs from them or give them that weird flight or fight look. I had to constantly retrain her and resocialize her. Shibas need to be socialized ALL THE TIME to not lose it. They have to constantly be entertained even more so than a lot of lazy dog breeds and will need a bit more exercise than the average dog breed to release of pent-up energy that they would otherwise use for hunting. my Shiba is one of the best dogs I have ever had the pleasure of loving. She's my baby and I love her so very much! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ She wasn't very affectionate as a puppy but as she grew, and as she saw how the other dogs behaved with us, she became really affectionate and has now bonded completely with me. She's beautiful and elegant and when you look into her eyes, it's a very different undomesticated look that you don't see in many other dogs eyes. I don't really know how to properly explain it, when my other dogs or other dogs i have met look at me, they have a puppy like domestic dog stare. When my shiba looks at me, her stare looks wild. It's not threatening or aggressive, it just looks similar to a cat's expression, just undomesticated if that makes sense. GREAT dogs to own but you need experience and they need a firm hand and a very patient and loving home.
I am a Japanese. Once you adopt Shiba inu, you need to become as if you were his or her true father or mother. Otherwise, you are supposed to fail to train him or her. Personal speaking, I managed to succeed in making my dog obedient, after my struggling to train him for three years.
The Shiba Inu is originally a hunting dog. However, in Japan, the breeding of gentle individuals has continued for generations. As a result, it was improved into a fairly docile family dog. Occasionally, an individual with a hunting dog temperament appears. If you decide to breed such an individual, you will have a hard time. Even now, hunters use Shiba Inu as hunting dogs, but they choose individuals with rough temperaments anyway. The nature of the Shiba Inu is so calm that even hunters have to look for a Shiba Inu with a rough temperament.
kinda just sounds like shibas are obedient. such a trait can be molded into proper hunting, or just family companion. makes perfect sense honestly. I'm not much of a dog person but all my favorite dogs tend to be super obedient, well trained "work" dogs that are clearly just focused on their task. and it seems shibas are specifically bred to be like that.
As an owner of two shibas, I honestly think they are the best dog in the world. I researched the breed before I got them, and they have been consistently socialized with both people and other dogs. My female Shiba loves to groom my cats by licking their ears and faces (if they let her, sometimes they don't) and my male will chase the mist dominant cat around but they do it to each other and seem to have an almost friendly rivalry because one second they are growling and the next they are cuddling. Food possession is a no tolerance policy in my house, and if they do have a fit I make it a point to take it away. They do not bite me, and both of them have bitten me maybe once in their puppy stage (testing their boundaries, and no they didn't get their way because im even more stubborn than a shiba) but never as adults. The only problems I have are grooming and the occasional escape. They hate baths and getting their nails cut, and even with treats is difficult. As for escaping our boy will come back, but our girl will not. Both are extremely fast runners, so be prepared to sprint. Our boy has gotten to the off leash stage around our yard, but he can only do it if we are also in the yard walking with him. Our girl has done it once, but where he is smart and loyal she is dumb yet cunning. More like... she plays stupid, and puts on the cutest act to get her way (which is quite manipulative... which implies intelligence 🤣) All in all, no other breed will do for me. If you have a lot of personality (and the stubbornness and diligence to train them right from the get go) then this is the perfect breed. My shibas have never bitten any children, not even small ones that try to carry them or pull their tails etc, but I can't speak for the entire breed on that front. Honestly, I feel like child tolerance depends on the dog, and how well you teach your children on how to treat animals. I know, huge ramble, but this breed is perfect as long as the owner is a good and hardworking person.
well said. I have a 4 year old shiba. Thinking hard about adding another one... or a Westie. IDK. But everything you said about off leash and even cat tolerance and children , 100% my dog. She's VERY good with small kids, they all want to pet her when I'm out on a walk and has a great nature, as long as she gets daily walk. Can get anxious and edgy if we miss a day due to weather or whatnot.
Oh my God thank you so much for your long perspective it was both enjoyable to read and brought me laughter and you really elaborated on the breed and I really appreciate that for sure stay blessed
Great video. Totally agree on all the points you raised…the lead argument is one I’ve had with other Shiba Owners…..I thought I had my 12 year old trained to be off lead in the park - but one day she saw something to chase and bang, she was off and running. My perfectly trained and obedient girl was heading for the road and tram….luckily she was intercepted and a disaster was averted….but I swore never again to be fooled into believing that this breed can be fully trained to be off lead.
Agree. On my 6th Shiba. He is the highest quality Shiba of the 6. He has very strong prey drive. He never goes off leash without being in an enclosed area. Also picky about other animals, but is great with humans.
Yes the Shiba Inu is a one person dog. He/she will pick one owner to love and disreguard everyone else. It is a "basel" breed like my Akita. Very ancient.
I have three shibas and they all seem to like everyone in my family when they come over. My nephew is the other main person in their lives and they are very attached to him as well as me as their main people.
We have a Shiba. He’s just a little over a year old and loves all four of us. If we are gone a few hours, he gets very excited to see us when each of us return home.
Most dogs will develop a stronger bound with whom ever is the most dominant personality, that has nothing to do with breed. Babies do the same thing, they'll go with whomever has the strongest energetic connection. If a couple calls the dog, that dog is going to choose one over the other every time, regardless of breed.
Thanks, you answered my question. I have a parrot and wanted to know if it would be safe together. As adorable as this dog is, I will look into another one.
My uncle is on his 3rd Cream Shiba.. absolutely wonderful dogs. If I were to ever get a pup, I would choose a Shiba with ease. Fun little characters and very intelligent, just don’t let them find out they can outsmart you!
I'm glad to see a video like this, especially if it helps inform people that get a dog purely on its looks. I have an 11yr old shiba (got her before it was cool haha) after trawling through hundreds of dog breeds in books and online, joining a group of people who owned Shibas and dog-sitting. She was also my first dog, and while I was 100% aware they were not considered first time dogs I met a puppy and fell in love. Her goofiness and sass make me laugh, and most of the time she is obedient, never throws tantrums or screams when I have to do things she doesn't like i.e baths and nail-clipping. She's also been an excellent travel buddy, taking public transport and exploring cities and forests alike, and is polite to all the humans she meets, big and small. It's not all roses; Her prey drive is incredible there never off-leash, and taking her to the dog park is now a no-no when it's not empty. There are times when I feel I've failed her, even after all the socialization in her past that she behaves like a dishonored samurai when meeting strange dogs. But she still seems happy and content, so I try not to let it get to me. She has a couple of dog friends at least, I hope when things calm down we can meet them again!
We have 3 Shibas (red, black and tan, and cream). While none of our Shibas exhibited all of the things you mentioned (even as pups), together they had all of them covered. :) However, when you come to recognize this is in them and work to train them properly, they become the most loyal , loving and obedient dogs you can imagine. We have had many other dogs including Golden Retrieves, Samoyed, etc, but the shibas have probably been the most fun for us to own. And for those who think that have 3 to breed them for money, you are wrong. All of them have been fixed and they are strictly household pets.
I've always been a bully pit dog lover and unfortunately they get tumors you know I think it's the food and my son said start feeding her raw meat and not so much grains so raw meat and veggies were the way to go..... Super smart dog easy to train had the primal instinct enter put another dog on his back and I screamed no and the dog had the other dog on its back and my dog looked at me my bully pit ran towards me left that dog to just go free and she knew that's what I wanted from her bully pits are super amazing and super smart.... But because they're so heavy to lift into the car in case something goes wrong with them I am considering as she I know at this point..... So thank you for sharing I was wondering if there was going to be a bully pit owner or a pitbull owner that's looking at a shiba
Our first dog ended up being a shiba inu despite warnings about their personalities, however, even thought we’re not expert trainers or very knowledgeable, our shiba has been nothing but a blessing. My shiba is 5 now and he communicates with us in very effective ways. He tries to be manipulative in a cute and stubborn way but his love and loyalty always trump those mischievous tendencies. I love my dog and hope everyone who has a shiba experience what we have.
Forgot to mention, if you do not like fur you're not going to like a Shiba Inu. It's has been said that a Shiba only sheds twice a year, the first half and second half. I have just learned to live with it.
yep. for sure. and then after they pass, finding one of those light orange chunks of hair is absolutely the sweetest thing ever. I am saving them in a jar because i miss my sweet girl so much. and... i might be adopting a 10 yo shiba that someone had to surrender to a shelter. I so hope we can bring her home. bring on the fur!
My shiba is about 4 years old now, he’s stubborn but very obedient and playful. Loves to get my attention by leaning on me every chance he gets but once we’re outdoors he’s on the hunt for anything that moves……..I wish I could walk him off of a leash outdoors but I’m sure he’ll hunt down a rat or Chihuahua 😅
I have 11 Shiba Inu currently and I want to say that, although the author makes valid points and on each of them I agree, the benefits of these dogs vastly outweigh these negatives. FYI: In 5 years of ownership, I've never once heard the scream.
Spoken like a typical human , that wants a dog that will succumb to your every wish . that sits home alone in full lotus waiting for his master to return so he can wag his tail as if to say " thanks for abandoning me all day, i had a blast" all of the problems that you listed could be considered unique independent character that has a will,of his or her own and doesn't cater to the every need of the pathetic owner . 🤮
Woot woot can't wait to get my Shiba Inu puppy it's going to be so much fun training such an intelligent and individualistic breed. And should actually be easier than some dog breeds I've trained in the past (at least for me)
I’d say many people can’t deal with many dogs because they don’t have the patience & temperament to own dogs in general (or be a parent) you need your dog to love & trust you by treating them LIKE THE TREASURE THEY ARE! Not spoiling them but feeding them HIGH QUALITY FOODS not garbage dry gluten poison crap & by having confidence that what you’re doing is the best thing for the dog… EASY!
I have 5 Shibas…if you want a dog that will see you as “Master” then don’t get a Shiba…If you want a Smart, Loyal, Protective FAMILY MEMBER, then Get A Shiba Inu!
There is a Shiba that comes regularly to greet us at my workplace. She loves to say hello but doesn’t allow many people to pet her (mostly this sehe knows for all of her live) She is stubborn and bitchy at times and knows how to tell you if she doesn’t like something. But we all love her because she is a sweet girl with a big personality. It took a while to gain her trust but it felt so much more meaningful when she allowed me to pet her for the very first time after nearly two years. I just love Shiba ini for their individuality.
Hey @animal facts I want to say something and if ur reading this PLEASE read it till the end (it’s a very good tip) “hello so I think ur vid is Nice, I know ur telling peoples tips, I like it....but it’s the person who’s getting the dogs chooses what dog he wants, we all haves the right to Choose the dog we want and probably if u make this vid might affect the persons who is choosing the dog and ALSO probably he chosen this dog but by seeing this might make him change his mind (probably canceling the puppy and wasted a LOT of money) or may make him Anxious and unhappy.” So that’s my tip, excellent video!
My shiba is 2 years old and we’ve had her since she was 2 months old… she was beyond easy to train.. we create trained her… potty trained her and all that. It’s not the dog it’s the owner… she has been a dream. No attitude no stubbornness… only chews on her bones and toys. We live in an apartment and she is in her element.
We (my son and daughter in law actually) have two, and I was prepared to be very angry and annoyed by this video. Spot on. Shibas are AMAZING animals. Accept that they are part cat, a large part, and you will be much better prepared for one. Super, super important, they are escape artists. Much as you want to let them off leash to play, you just can't. Next, they are super, super intelligent. When a Shibe puts its mind to doing something, like stealing a stick of butter, or getting that skein of wool, or getting onto the dining room table, it will do it. It may take a while, but the dog will do it. They own you, and will be completely loyal to only one person. Ellie is my son's dog. She loves me, I love her, she expects certain behaviors from me (as in "You will take me for our walk, NOW"), but rarely if ever will listen to my commands. They are extremely mood sensitive. Ellie and Odin know when I'm feeling down, and will cuddle with me and not leave me alone for a minute. They know when all is fine and dandy, they come for their treat, give a quick rub, and they are off and running elsewhere. The sensitivity however is remarkable. And for quiet dogs, they are very vocal. They see ghosts and protect the house from them. If there is a stick on the fence that doesn't belong, there is staring and barking till the cows come home. And as for the Shiba scream, it has to be heard to be believed. If you can imagine a dog having its rear leg slowly and mercilessly twisted out if its socket, you might come close. But only close. The best and safest way to produce the scream is to pick one up, and show it water filling a bathtube. They hate water. Really hate water. They are amazing animals, gentle, loyal to the pack, protective of their master, funny, quirky, and you're right, not for everyone.
I have an extremely hyper male shiba that makes other shibas go calm and just watch him be crazy😂 i take him for 20km trekking in the weekends and he is still full of energy when we get back!!! Shiba is the hardest breed you can get! Remember that it is a hunting breed so they are veryy very active... and they do whatever they want! You would need to spend min 1 hr training, every day +2 hr walks... despite all his trouble, I would only get shiba or akita inu... they are really smart and human like, but that means they have personality and therefore extremely stubborn!
I had to laugh while watching this video! You hit it on the head with Shibas! Everything you said was spot on. We have two Shiba's and they both fit perfectly into the mold you described. One note, we do have a cat and both our Shibas play with him like he is another dog. Of course it probably helps in that the cat thinks he is a dog. He goes on walks with the Shibas. He plays with them and even sleeps with one of them. For anyone who is thinking on getting a Shiba, just know that everything in this video is true.
In reality, there is no "best breed"- there are breeds with different traits/needs and people need to match that up with their lifestyle. The idea that certain breeds aren't recommended for first time dog owners has merit as well, but if the person is committed, does their research, and seeks help with training/socializing any dog can be your first dog. I think this video displays that concept well.
I guess every shiba iv had since I was a kid was fake. Iv had them grab me but never bite over a toy. Was regularly left alone with them as a small child and left my kids with them. They have all been pretty easy to train as they're highly food motivated. Only issue iv had is they view any attention as good attention and will deliberately get caught doing something they shouldn't if they get board. While I've never felt the need in physically punishing a dog, shiba definitely respond to negative punishments.
I cannot imagine NOT owning a Shiba Inu. I've had mine for over 2 years now, since she was an 8 week old puppy. With proper training, applied early on, they can make the best, loyal, spirited dogs. By training, I mean putting them through puppy school first, ideally the first two levels, then daily 10 minute refresher to keep them mentally engaged. These dogs are smart and get bored easily. Ensure to supply enough of toy puzzles, teach them new tricks (they love it!). Not reliable off- leash but it doesn't mean they can't be taught this skill. Off-leash training should start when they are still puppies - before they turn 12 weeks. Start your training the minute you bring them home. I would never have mine off- leash in urban areas (1. illegal, where I live 2. high prey drive - they to chase anything that moves and is smaller in size than them), but when we hike, she is always off-leash and loves it. I do not recommend this breed for people, who like to have their dog in their face at all times - Shibas like their own space and sometimes they may not be in a mood to hang out - respect it. This is why small kids and Shibas may not be a good mix. Little kids may be just a bit too much for them. Mine loves a good kill - they are hunting dogs after all, and if you have mice or rats in or around your house or even flies - she will promptly send them to their respective heaven. Did I mention they are excellent guard dogs as well? Anything out of ordinary outside of your window, they are sure to alert you about. Be it a broken glass that is reflecting sun, a pilon your road crew left behind or your pizza delivery dude - you name it, your Shiba will tell you all about it.
I feel this series should be called something else because the title is Clickbait and it seems very unfair to the animal. I feel it should be called “what you should know before you get a Shiba Enu.”
Let me just say i own 3 shiba inus and a german shepard. My shibas have never shown any aggression towards another dog breed or small animal. We had a cat and my shibs the only thing they would do to him is play with him, clean him, and cuddle him. They have been around rabbits and other small animals and again never once any form of aggression even when left unsupervised. Also mine were extremely easy to train within 3 days of owning an 8 week old shib he was able to sit lay and roll over. They are extremely intelligent and I think are a good fit for first time dog owners like I was when I got mine only thing I would say is do plenty of research on the breed like I did before getting one to be sure they are the right breed for you. I am able to let all 3 of mine free roam outside with me without fence, leads, or runners. I am even able to leave my front door open while bringing things into the house and my dogs will either stand at the door waiting and watching me or they will come out and walk next to me. I am able to fully trust the breed as should anyone else as long as you give them the proper training and treatment.
I have a shiba inu and I'm affraid I have to disagree with most of the facts displayed in this video. Shiba inus like cats and are not destructive. In fact, I have never had a dog before until I got my shiba. If you gain its respect at first hand, they'll never disappoint you. My shiba is good with people, particularly with kids, hates dogs (yeah, that fact is correct), loves cats (either mine or strays), has hardly ever destroyed something at home and, even though he is very stubborn, if you keep him in line, he complies with every order, even though he will let it pretty clear that what you are asking from him is not something of his liking. Another good and strong point of shibas is that they hardly ever bark, they only do so when something is wrong or not of their liking (I mean, in their sorroundings, there are some neighbours that my shiba doesn't like and thus he runs to the door to bark, but just one or two barks and that will be it). They are quite, tranquil and VERY intelligent, and when I say VERY, I mean it. My shiba learnt his name as a puppy in THREE HOURS, and he understands EVERY order even if it's the first time I say it. Shibas don't like water, and bathing them is supposed to be a titanic task, and that's when they use their so well known shiba scream. Mine, in particular, did that once and after realizing that his particular scream was not going to save him from bath, he never uses it again. I highly recommend shibas as pets, I really do. But please, as this video informs, NEVER let your shiba inu walk withouth a leash. Even if they don't run away, they'll do as they please if you don't use a strong and commanding voice to keep them in line. If you are weak for dogs and don't know how to establish limits, rethink about getting a shiba. If you are stern and show the shiba that you are the one in command, then go ahead, but keep this in mind, YOU DO NOT OWN YOUR SHIBA, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE NEGOTIATING WITH IT TO KEEP YOUR RELATIONSHIP HEALTHY, GIVE AND TAKE, if the shiba decides to obey you, then you'd have done things correctly (:
My Shiba Inu was the best dog ever always listened to me never barked are did the shiba scream never pooed are peed in the house the only dumb thing he’s ever done was run in front of a car when he was young and he learned his lesson
i lived in local town in japan, When i see ppl walking with dogs. approx. 75% = Shiba (Blown, and black, white). approx. 25% = foreign dogs. (chiwawa ? or something tiny dogs from outland) such town. much shiba. very common. wow. ( '‘ω‘)b
I’ve had 2 Shiba’s and I highly recommend people to buy one. Are they stubborn yeah of course but being hard to train I haven’t had that issue. Maybe I’ve been lucky but I think they’re great dogs.
Sure they’re great dogs. They’re just not for everyone. I’m a highly experienced dog owner and I’d still not want one. Of course I also feel the same way about some other breeds.
You can fully train a Shiba with time, CONSISTENCY, and following through. If you are just as stubborn as the shibe, you should own one. My Shiba is off leash trained, and has his obedience totally down✨
As you can see we are already in July and I feel those who would allow the market dynamism to determine When to trade or not are either new in space in general or probably just naive, the sphere have seen far worse times than this, enlightened traders continue to make good use of the dip and pump even acquiring more equities towards trading sessions, I'd say that more emphasis should be put into trading since it is way profitable than holding. Trading went smooth for me as I was able to raise over 9.2 BTC when I started at 3.5 BTC in just few weeks implementing trades with signals and insights from Ryan Donald's would advise y'all to trade your asset rather than hold for a future you aren't sure about.
I'm so tired of people spreading false information about this particular breed. Not all Shiba's are the same energetically. My shiba's are both very passive and sensitive. I'm on my second, I had my first one for 18 years. They are no more difficult to train or more stubborn than any other dog that I've had. All dogs have 3 energetic temperament levels, (High, Medium, and Low) It has nothing to do with the breed. If you have a low energy lifestyle then don't choose a high temperament dog, regardless of the breed. If your energy doesn't match or is higher than the dog then the dog will rule and this is true of any breed. I have a type a personality, I am the Alpha, so I don't choose high energy dogs. The point is you choose a dog by energy level, not appearance, or popularity.
Definitely not for people who are looking for the typical dog that is affectionate, attentive, and easily trainable. My poodle displays more affection in a day than the Shiba does in a month. The poodle picks up the names of people from a few repeat visits. The Shiba still does not know who “mommy” is at six years old. The poodle will learn a trick in three days while the Shiba takes over three weeks to learn the same trick.
I hate when people punish their dogs for wrecking their house when meanwhile it often only happens because the dog is lonely, and feeling abandoned by owners that are not home enough etc. Or some other major need like exercise is not being met.
We have a red shiba inu, Miko. He has all those personalities BUT he is sweet, gentle, loving, he loves giving kisses, he loves receiving attention, he is an awesome emotional support for my daughter who is going through rough times, he is funny, he is playful…this is our first dog and im so glad i didnt listen to people who discouraged me into getting one. We love him and he is part of our family ❤
I agree, we have a shiba and she really is very different to all the other breeds. Growing up we always had dogs, different breeds from small to big dogs. So I know how to raise and read dogs very well. We love our shiba to bits and like her free spirited, very intelligent and loving nature. She is very affectionate towards us but is very aloof with strangers. I would however not recommend a shiba for first dog owners or ppl without good knowledge on how to 'read' dog communication and expect a dog to be a follower.
I’ve got 3 shibas, one in every color, it’s almost 1:30 in the morning and they are running around the house like lunatics playing bouncing off the walls…..think twice people.
Let them go outside or take them for walks. They're high energy type dogs. If you expect them to be indoors all the time, expect your stuff to be chewed on or destroyed. Take them to obedience school and you need to be an attentive owner. Letting them run around wild in your home is irresponsible and they can quickly dominate you if you don't set boundaries with them. You need to be the alpha for them; or they will not respect you.
Who wrote this rubbish? And why?
Video voiceover, “However, before you bring one home, it's important to do your research as this breed can be quite difficult to train and live with at times. This video will explore why you shouldn't get a Shiba Inu, no matter how cute they may be. From their strong-willed personality to their high energy levels, we'll cover all the potential downsides of owning this popular breed.”
The Shiba is a “popular breed” because they are lovely pets. Duh!
They are intelligent, loyal, sensitive, escape artists, stubborn, and everything else. I would never let my Shiba, the Great Gatsby, listen to such fictitious, hurtful BS. 😵💫
It would be more realistic to say that Shibas grow horns and make your furniture a cesspit for skin-destroying fungi that recite poetry. Give me strength.
How did this end up in my feed? It's meant to be a joke, right?
From the video:
“5 Reasons Not to Get a Shiba Inu Dog
1. Shiba Inus are not a Meme
2. Shiba Inus are Strong-willed and Stubborn - Difficult to Train!
3. Shiba Inus are Escape Artists
4. Shiba Inus Can Be Dog and Cat Aggressive
5. Shiba Inus Can Be Destructive if Left Alone Too Much”
‘Nuff said. Oh, for the record, Inu is the Japanese word for dog. So, “5 Reasons Not to Get a Shiba Inu Dog” effectively says “5 Reasons Not to Get a Shiba Dog Dog.”
Social media can be a real pain in the ass.
Thanks for the engagement. It really helps the video get more views.
My shiba is 11 yrs old, I’ve had her since she was 12 WEEKS old. She’s definitely stubborn and hard to train because they want to do what they want. However she’s always been very obedient and well mannered. They’re loyal and people pleasers. Yes she always has to be on the leash but she’s never been one to break loose from the yard. I love her and will always have shibas from now on
I have a shiba and she is off leash, u didnt train your enough
How much daily exercise does your Shiba get? I find people with "bad dogs" simply do not give them enough exercise. Otherwise, I agree, a Shiba is a great dog. They just need to have an outlet for their anxiety in form of activity, much like people, dogs need dopamine and gain that through activity/exercise, otherwise get bored and anxious.
@@txchick817 true, my shiba is off leash all the time bc she exercises every day
keep working with your Shib.... the NUMBER ONE thing to do is get her to sniff the hell out of your neighborhood; #2 is: TWICE a day on the same route is a MUST.... if the door opens and she bolts DO NOT PANIC!!!!! it will suck royally when you arrive home and the dog is looking at you like: where have you been? were you lost? yeah, you want to scream but Shiba Inus do it WAY BETTA
I've been the proud Shiba Parent of 5 Fantastic Shiba Inus over the past 17 years.
It started with my sweet baby Nikko at 8 weeks old. We just had to say our Goodbyes in July after having him 15 years 😢. For every reason there is not to have one, I can think of 💯 to say Yes! We have two right now. They all have different personalities. They love their families, and Love having Shiba siblings to play. We have had Shiba puppies, 2 rescue Shibas, one with special needs (He was the Sweetest Gift from God Ever!).
I wouldn't trade the time with Any of My Shiba Babies For Anything! If you have the time, the energy, and the patience, they will make it worth Every Minute! ☮️💞🦊 I wish they All could have stayed longer on this Earth, but, God called them across the Rainbow 🌈 Bridge. God has plans for them I believe...
I've had my Shiba for about 6 months now (he's about 10 months old), and so much "don't get a Shiba" videos are so exaggerated. I did a lot of research before and after getting him, and these videos caused me to be concerned for no reason at all.
He's been very easy to train, loving, and well behaved. They aren't any harder to train or deal with than other dogs I've had. I feel like a lot of these "Shiba are so difficult and stubborn" videos are just to make them seem inaccessible and mysterious for some reason. They're just dogs. They're great
hey good to kno thanks 👍
@Bob Bobfrey
My shiba died Friday at 14 years old. She was one of the sweetest dogs I’ve ever met. She knew if you just needed to sit with her. She was super quiet, except for at the vet, and was super patient with little kids. I agree some shibas are mischievous and jumpy but many aren’t. She only shiba screamed at the vet or when we clipped her nails. My other shiba chews up slippers but he is also pretty quiet and will be loving at times and he is the most jumpy, scared, paranoid dog I have ever met. I get your point but my shiba was the sweetest dog I’ve known and has set the bar very high for any pets that came before her and will come after her.
@@samanthacartwright3407 Many people in the comments have much older Shibas yet they wrote the same thing as Pancakes here did🙄
I love my sheltie aka Shetland sheepdog, she's smart, obedient, and won't leave the yard, can even be walked off leash,
well you sheltie isn't a 7,000 yold breed
My shiba is almost 5, and grew up with a cat in the home. They are good friends. My shiba routinely rushes to my cat's aid if and when a stray gets in the backyard and a fight gets going. IMO, The initial owner of a puppy is critical with this breed. If mistreated and put up for adoption, likely ruined for many years regardless of subsequent owner's love and care. I love mine and she is a absolute blast.
Yes, finally someone mentioned this critical point. The initial owner is very if not the most important factor for cats and dogs on how they behave afterwards. I've had cat that was abused by his original owner and the cat became almost impossible to train after that
This breed is related to the "wolf " that's why you should not own one of these if you have children. They just don't want to scare you, that's why it wasn't mentioned it's related to "wolves" Just check out his teeth. Look familiar right? Like the wolves and when they growl, they show their wolf fangs.🦊
Now we know and that's half the power!
I agree with some of it. But my Shiba stay home all day while I’m working and he’s totally fine. He doesn’t destroy any shoes or anything in the house. Basically he can sleep all days and entertains himself.
My son has one, just leave it home while you out for work, monitor through his iPhone just sleep all day and entertains himself; very playful active and friendly, seldom barks, listen to orders. Nice dog👍
Your best bet by far, unless you are super anal about tricks and obedience and are willing to put massive time and effort into your dog, is to accept that your Shiba will be a faithful and loyal companion, but aside from a few basics, like housebreaking and not pulling on the leash, you will not have a pet that obeys you on command, or is anxious to please, or will do tricks when your friends come over. Set the bar fairly low for behaviour and save yourself a lot of work. Otherwise, get yourself a German Shepherd or Border Collie or some other anxious to please breed. Shibas definitely are NOT.
That is so well put. You basically summed up what people need to know in a paragraph.
My daughter has a Shiba Inu.
Her Shiba actually turned me into a dog lover. I never cared for them until this dog. He’s 10 months old now and the smartest most obedient animal I have ever seen. Very lovable too. Our whole family is in awe of this dog. For his age to be so smart with such a personality! My daughter has socialized him with other dogs and people. That is the main thing you need to work on with your training with this breed. Love him!❤
Exactly my case❤they need to be socialized early on..
This is the GREATEST compliment to the breed for I have heard it MANY times now; they are a cat in a dog's body, they bother no one really and truly...
@@commonsensenow9517 Very true!❤️
In the right hands, and with good care and training, and lots of love, that's all no surprise.
I think many of the negative points really come into play for people who are not able to meet the Shiba's need correctly (or don't anticipate them). They need exercise and get naughty if they don't get it, they become aggressive towards other dogs if they aren't socialized, when under-stimulated they'll put their smart brains to work on escaping.
Your family seems to appreciate it's strengths and characteristics, so it's not using them for any mischief.
I almost have the same story, it's just I'm young boi
Shiba: "hyper intelligent, stubborn ,escape artist"
Siberian Husky: "hold my paw!"
Catahoula: hehe amateurs
They are very similar
I'd rather have a husky sshibas are waaaay worse ask any vet lol
I was thinking the horrors unleashed if both were bred together
Shiba are exceptionally clean though. They hate getting dirty and if they do they clean themselves. They are well known for their scream though when being bathed but I love mine. They are a handful in the first year but great once they have matured.
Shiba make the saddest rescue cases because they are still attached to their original owner. Based on the amount of ppl who have "returned" their rescues during covid, I would say that it's safer to start with "reasons not to get a Shiba" especially ppl who are fickle. (Many exist.)
Where could I adopt a shiba? In my country is impossible.
I guess my shiba is weird. She lives with another cat and shares food and toys, does that too with other dogs at home when they come. She is easy to handle, goes without a leash, behaves very well in restaurants and bars. I've never had a dog before and this one won me all over for her gratitude and love :) To me these are the reasons to get a shiba inu :)
She goes without a leash?!? You are lucky.
They love cats hate other dogs and omg NEEDY
Sure it's a pure Shiba? That no leash thing sounds wrong lol....unless you mean indoors...if you socialize them with other people when young they can do pretty good most of the time...but outside with no leash? naaa....maybe some 100 plot of land in the middle of nowhere lol
@@Whitman1819 Then I guess I socialized her well :)
Shiba get well with cats but other dogs
My shiba inu is my 5th dog (not counting foster dogs I kept while volunteering in rescue centres). She is the most free spirited, primal, strong willed soul I've come across. It took us a while to bond and build trust, but now she's incredibly bonded to me, cooperative, loyal, sweet hearted. Really smart girl who helped me question myself. Shibas are only for families which will invest the time to socialize, exercise and educate them in a cooperative way. They become great life companions with that dedication.
Well put. They are best as indoor/outdoor dogs with owners that enjoy long walks in nature.
Shiba has been a great choice for us. Smart, obedient, loyal and super friendly. We trained her well. She follows us everywhere. No leash is no problem. She loves other animals especially other shibas. She loves all the family, no particular person. Very tame and very social when we go out. Attention and training are key. Love is paramount.
Same, ours loves everyvone and is always off leash
Dogs, regardless of "breed" are like people, no 2 have the same exact temperament. I'm on my second and neither of them were stubborn. People talk about the terrible "Shiba Scream" my 2 don't even bark, never experienced that. The problem is that people like to put certain breeds into stereotypes, like we do people. People villainize Pitbulls as vicious, but some are the most gentle dogs I've ever encountered.
Oh my gosh thank you for posting this and sharing this the key word was love.... And it seems so many people get dogs for the wrong reasons they don't understand that they need so much love...
But it is so true with the human isn't it?
My shiba Inu came from a Amish family that left it outside in a cage with his siblings and mom for most of its 8 week life. He didn’t know how to react to the toys we got him, but after patience and lots of playtime outside. He is the best decision I have ever made.
poor dog
Wow my shiba came from an Amish family as well
I'm glad to learn of that rescue. I hope the mother is saved as well.
I think she would enjoy the house and the Amish would rather enjoy the cage.
@@Kursmashh wait wat?? mine also came from an Amish family👀
Mine also came from an Amish family and he was nearly feral when we got him from how skittish he is. He's still hard to play or do anything with.
Crypto is gaining momentum in the payment space as well, with Mastercard, PayPal and Visa increasing crypto exposure over the past several months.

I have a shiba inu, and yes the things you listed are right! He escaped his cage more than 4 times and he is an definetly super smart dog! But i promise you that shiba inus are not the naughty and aggresive as you think..They are super loyal and they r definetly worth it..and yes shibas might not engage with thier owners alot and act like they dont care about you...but if u actually need help they will always be there for u❤
why is your dog in a cage?
@@SahyuSoley For some cages inside act as a comforting/resting place
Most people here say that they do show their love and attachment, not just when you need them, and even if they need their space
If I become a Shiba Inu millionaire I'm getting one. 🥰
lol
Me too lol
Just reached its ATH. Might want to look around for breeders now, before the rest of the bandwagon beats you to it,
You won't
Don't. If you don't realize how difficult they are you'll be making a horrible mistake. They are similar to a Dalmatian, Jack Russell or Belgian Malinois. If you are not familiar with these breed you're in for a very rude awakening. It isn't their looks.... it is their behavior.
Get a dog that fits your lifestyle.
There is going to be a ton of these in the shelters soon enough when people can't cope with the dog they bought.
I’m first time dog owner and shiba owner.Our shiba is great we don’t know the difference.Shiba has been a great choice for us
My son has 3 Shebas. I have NEVER seen such well trained dogs. They will go for a long walk in the morning and evening, with a short walk at about noon. NO Accidents in the house at all. They don't bark. They act Cat Like. When my son yells "Police Raid" all 3 dogs run to the wall and put their paws up and spread their back paws. The only thing I dislike about these dogs is the amount of shedding. Hair is ALL OVER THE PLACE!
They're escape artists, all right. Mine, once slit a second-story window screen, hugged the side of the building and slid to the ground before taking himself for a walk.
Did he come back? And is it usual for them to return after they disappear? Ive always wanted a shiba but I would hate to lose it forever if they escaped
Lol. U have a super dog!!
as someone who has had 5 shiba's, this video hit the mark.
true story: my fuji (now passed) tricked me out of my dinner twice. i live alone and eat on the couch in front of the tv. he went to the kitchen door way acting like he wanted out, so i sat my plate down and went and opened the door for him when i turned around he was enjoying my dinner, the second time i had forgotten the door was already open and again he was eating my dinner.. 3rd time he tried it i took my plate with me... you could latterly see the expression on his face "damn it, the human figured it out" he never tried that trick on me again. boy do i miss that little shit.
my newest shiba sam... at 6 weeks old when we first brought him home, we were out in the yard with him and he caught a mouse before we even noticed there was one. i lost track of how many he has gotten since then. so yeah good hunters.
No one tricks my dinner
OK, I'm a cat person, and I have to admit, this dog breed is as cute as cat.
Org indo bang?
To me this dog breed reminds me way more of a cat than an actual dog
We agree!
So in short, the Shiba Inu is even more based then the meme implies.
I bonded with my girl Sheba at first sight. The most beautiful dog I had ever seen, it was a magical moment.
I went inside and laid down on the couch, we both fell asleep with her laying across my chest.
A year later I got another one, a male and he did the exact same thing.
Folks, the bond between these beautiful animals is as real as it gets, I cannot explain it other than share the story. I believe a Sheba picks its person more than a person picks a Sheba.
It’s hard but it’s possible. My shiba is off leash. Took one month of hard core drilling it in. Keep them active and you can actually train them. It’s just x100 harder than training other breeds (from my knowledge of training other dogs.)
If you are committed to your dog you can train any dog. No dog is easy to train.
Yes my shiba is my first dog but with a lot of effort I suceeded to walk her off leash all the time
@@ljubiteljicazivotinja1686 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
It is the loyalty, most of all.
Fair warning from my own experience. #1. The dog was found, a runaway from a previous owner. #2. I agree, Very Intelligent. One night on a 2.5 Mile Walk however, the route was not a simple out and back so I knew the way but the Shiba Inu was persistently looking in the wrong direction (we both were tired enough to head home). It was not until he reached a 2nd spot he had marked with pee that he realized that yes, I was heading in the correct direction. This was when he was older but not elderly by any means.
..if I sound detached it is because the owner, not the dog, is someone I don't keep in touch with now. I'm pretty sure that while it missed her while she spent so much time away, the Shiba Inu knew I loved dogs. No doubting that.
Those are 5 reasons why I got one
I have a Shiba Inu. And I know there are a lot of people who get dogs for their looks. Shiba Inu‘s need to be trained and they are super energetic so they take a lot of time. But they are awesome. And don’t ever buy a cheap Shiba Inu! If it is cheap it is a backyard bread Shiba Inu.
What sort of price range do you think is safe?
@@itabobo2393 2,000 and up
And what if it‘s a backyard bread shiba
@@briicksyy same question?!
@@briicksyy most byb dogs won’t have health testing to insure your dog will be healthy, they won’t show the parents and you won’t know if they were kept well, they probably won’t look like a well bred shiba
I've heard horror stories from shiba owners and I have not experienced it. Yes they are very strong willed and HIGHLY intelligent and have a VERY high prey drive. HOWEVER, I think the issue is, unlike pomeranians and retrievers, They are not the kind of dogs that you can get away with spoiling or with very little training and discipline.
They are NOT for first time dog owners and they are definitely not for owners you have a problem with training and disciplining their animals correctly.
Also what works for a pitbull will not work for a shiba inu. if you think disciplining them means raising your voice and being mean, you are very wrong.
Shiba Inus are also very sensitive. I have to train my girl more firmly than I do the other dogs but yet more gentle.
For my pitbull/boxer, I have to scold her a lot more firmly. However with my shiba, i have to be firm with her but not scold unless absolutely necessary ( for example if she's about to run into the street or do something that could harm her or another animal).
People also forget or don't realize that shibas are HUNTING dogs. 🐶 They have been bred for a particular purpose.
And because they are bred to hunt they are very intelligent, alert, and prone to attacking smaller animals, even if they seem to be getting along with them in your presence.
There have been countless complaints of a shiba attacking or killing the family cat they grew up with.
There had been a story of two shibas killing a newborn baby.
They need a tremendous amount of work when it comes to recall and are very wolf-like in their behavior in that they can be elusive or aggressive towards other dogs or humans if they do not know them and if they have not been socialized.
They also have to CONSTANTLY be socialized.
During the pandemic my girl didn't see other people as much. She saw other dogs outside at their gates but never had to interact with people as much as she did before.
She reverted back into a wild state and became very mistrustful of strangers and would either hide in between my legs from them or give them that weird flight or fight look.
I had to constantly retrain her and resocialize her. Shibas need to be socialized ALL THE TIME to not lose it.
They have to constantly be entertained even more so than a lot of lazy dog breeds and will need a bit more exercise than the average dog breed to release of pent-up energy that they would otherwise use for hunting.
my Shiba is one of the best dogs I have ever had the pleasure of loving. She's my baby and I love her so very much! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
She wasn't very affectionate as a puppy but as she grew, and as she saw how the other dogs behaved with us, she became really affectionate and has now bonded completely with me.
She's beautiful and elegant and when you look into her eyes, it's a very different undomesticated look that you don't see in many other dogs eyes. I don't really know how to properly explain it, when my other dogs or other dogs i have met look at me, they have a puppy like domestic dog stare.
When my shiba looks at me, her stare looks wild. It's not threatening or aggressive, it just looks similar to a cat's expression, just undomesticated if that makes sense.
GREAT dogs to own but you need experience and they need a firm hand and a very patient and loving home.
I am a Japanese. Once you adopt Shiba inu, you need to become as if you were his or her true father or mother. Otherwise, you are supposed to fail to train him or her. Personal speaking, I managed to succeed in making my dog obedient, after my struggling to train him for three years.
It's like being married to a Shiba Inu that is most needy. I always say "good luck" to those that decide or already have them in their life.
👍👏👏👏💝
The Shiba Inu is originally a hunting dog. However, in Japan, the breeding of gentle individuals has continued for generations. As a result, it was improved into a fairly docile family dog. Occasionally, an individual with a hunting dog temperament appears. If you decide to breed such an individual, you will have a hard time. Even now, hunters use Shiba Inu as hunting dogs, but they choose individuals with rough temperaments anyway. The nature of the Shiba Inu is so calm that even hunters have to look for a Shiba Inu with a rough temperament.
kinda just sounds like shibas are obedient. such a trait can be molded into proper hunting, or just family companion. makes perfect sense honestly. I'm not much of a dog person but all my favorite dogs tend to be super obedient, well trained "work" dogs that are clearly just focused on their task. and it seems shibas are specifically bred to be like that.
As an owner of two shibas, I honestly think they are the best dog in the world. I researched the breed before I got them, and they have been consistently socialized with both people and other dogs. My female Shiba loves to groom my cats by licking their ears and faces (if they let her, sometimes they don't) and my male will chase the mist dominant cat around but they do it to each other and seem to have an almost friendly rivalry because one second they are growling and the next they are cuddling.
Food possession is a no tolerance policy in my house, and if they do have a fit I make it a point to take it away. They do not bite me, and both of them have bitten me maybe once in their puppy stage (testing their boundaries, and no they didn't get their way because im even more stubborn than a shiba) but never as adults.
The only problems I have are grooming and the occasional escape. They hate baths and getting their nails cut, and even with treats is difficult. As for escaping our boy will come back, but our girl will not. Both are extremely fast runners, so be prepared to sprint.
Our boy has gotten to the off leash stage around our yard, but he can only do it if we are also in the yard walking with him. Our girl has done it once, but where he is smart and loyal she is dumb yet cunning. More like... she plays stupid, and puts on the cutest act to get her way (which is quite manipulative... which implies intelligence 🤣)
All in all, no other breed will do for me. If you have a lot of personality (and the stubbornness and diligence to train them right from the get go) then this is the perfect breed. My shibas have never bitten any children, not even small ones that try to carry them or pull their tails etc, but I can't speak for the entire breed on that front. Honestly, I feel like child tolerance depends on the dog, and how well you teach your children on how to treat animals.
I know, huge ramble, but this breed is perfect as long as the owner is a good and hardworking person.
well said. I have a 4 year old shiba. Thinking hard about adding another one... or a Westie. IDK. But everything you said about off leash and even cat tolerance and children , 100% my dog. She's VERY good with small kids, they all want to pet her when I'm out on a walk and has a great nature, as long as she gets daily walk. Can get anxious and edgy if we miss a day due to weather or whatnot.
Oh my God thank you so much for your long perspective it was both enjoyable to read and brought me laughter and you really elaborated on the breed and I really appreciate that for sure stay blessed
Oh thank you for rambling it was just awesome and perfect and entertaining and made me laugh
Great video. Totally agree on all the points you raised…the lead argument is one I’ve had with other Shiba Owners…..I thought I had my 12 year old trained to be off lead in the park - but one day she saw something to chase and bang, she was off and running. My perfectly trained and obedient girl was heading for the road and tram….luckily she was intercepted and a disaster was averted….but I swore never again to be fooled into believing that this breed can be fully trained to be off lead.
I’m going to pin this comment. It definitely needs to be seen.
Some people do let their Shibas off leash, but only in a,fenced area for my dog.
People who allow their Shibas off leash are tempting fate.
Agree. On my 6th Shiba. He is the highest quality Shiba of the 6. He has very strong prey drive. He never goes off leash without being in an enclosed area. Also picky about other animals, but is great with humans.
❤️❤️❤️

Yes the Shiba Inu is a one person dog. He/she will pick one owner to love and disreguard everyone else. It is a "basel" breed like my Akita. Very ancient.
I have three shibas and they all seem to like everyone in my family when they come over. My nephew is the other main person in their lives and they are very attached to him as well as me as their main people.
@@renlysotherlover294 mine too
We have a Shiba. He’s just a little over a year old and loves all four of us. If we are gone a few hours, he gets very excited to see us when each of us return home.
Most dogs will develop a stronger bound with whom ever is the most dominant personality, that has nothing to do with breed. Babies do the same thing, they'll go with whomever has the strongest energetic connection. If a couple calls the dog, that dog is going to choose one over the other every time, regardless of breed.
Thanks, you answered my question. I have a parrot and wanted to know if it would be safe together. As adorable as this dog is, I will look into another one.
Happy to help!
I have a parrot and a shiba, they get along great
Why is it called Shiba Inu? It just means dog. It should be just shiba.
Shiba Inu is Japanese for "Dog that does not listen."
My uncle is on his 3rd Cream Shiba.. absolutely wonderful dogs. If I were to ever get a pup, I would choose a Shiba with ease. Fun little characters and very intelligent, just don’t let them find out they can outsmart you!
I'm glad to see a video like this, especially if it helps inform people that get a dog purely on its looks. I have an 11yr old shiba (got her before it was cool haha) after trawling through hundreds of dog breeds in books and online, joining a group of people who owned Shibas and dog-sitting. She was also my first dog, and while I was 100% aware they were not considered first time dogs I met a puppy and fell in love.
Her goofiness and sass make me laugh, and most of the time she is obedient, never throws tantrums or screams when I have to do things she doesn't like i.e baths and nail-clipping. She's also been an excellent travel buddy, taking public transport and exploring cities and forests alike, and is polite to all the humans she meets, big and small.
It's not all roses; Her prey drive is incredible there never off-leash, and taking her to the dog park is now a no-no when it's not empty. There are times when I feel I've failed her, even after all the socialization in her past that she behaves like a dishonored samurai when meeting strange dogs. But she still seems happy and content, so I try not to let it get to me. She has a couple of dog friends at least, I hope when things calm down we can meet them again!
You didn't fail, some dogs are just not as social or friendly with other dogs, not just Shibas
We have 3 Shibas (red, black and tan, and cream). While none of our Shibas exhibited all of the things you mentioned (even as pups), together they had all of them covered. :) However, when you come to recognize this is in them and work to train them properly, they become the most loyal , loving and obedient dogs you can imagine. We have had many other dogs including Golden Retrieves, Samoyed, etc, but the shibas have probably been the most fun for us to own.
And for those who think that have 3 to breed them for money, you are wrong. All of them have been fixed and they are strictly household pets.
My Shiba Inu was a total blast to train. From Pit Bulls to a Shiba Inu, it was a no-brainer for me and my family.
I've always been a bully pit dog lover and unfortunately they get tumors you know I think it's the food and my son said start feeding her raw meat and not so much grains so raw meat and veggies were the way to go..... Super smart dog easy to train had the primal instinct enter put another dog on his back and I screamed no and the dog had the other dog on its back and my dog looked at me my bully pit ran towards me left that dog to just go free and she knew that's what I wanted from her bully pits are super amazing and super smart.... But because they're so heavy to lift into the car in case something goes wrong with them I am considering as she I know at this point..... So thank you for sharing I was wondering if there was going to be a bully pit owner or a pitbull owner that's looking at a shiba
Our first dog ended up being a shiba inu despite warnings about their personalities, however, even thought we’re not expert trainers or very knowledgeable, our shiba has been nothing but a blessing. My shiba is 5 now and he communicates with us in very effective ways. He tries to be manipulative in a cute and stubborn way but his love and loyalty always trump those mischievous tendencies. I love my dog and hope everyone who has a shiba experience what we have.
Forgot to mention, if you do not like fur you're not going to like a Shiba Inu. It's has been said that a Shiba only sheds twice a year, the first half and second half. I have just learned to live with it.
yep. for sure. and then after they pass, finding one of those light orange chunks of hair is absolutely the sweetest thing ever. I am saving them in a jar because i miss my sweet girl so much. and... i might be adopting a 10 yo shiba that someone had to surrender to a shelter. I so hope we can bring her home. bring on the fur!
i got one anyway
My shiba is about 4 years old now, he’s stubborn but very obedient and playful. Loves to get my attention by leaning on me every chance he gets but once we’re outdoors he’s on the hunt for anything that moves……..I wish I could walk him off of a leash outdoors but I’m sure he’ll hunt down a rat or Chihuahua 😅
I have 11 Shiba Inu currently and I want to say that, although the author makes valid points and on each of them I agree, the benefits of these dogs vastly outweigh these negatives. FYI: In 5 years of ownership, I've never once heard the scream.
Spoken like a typical human , that wants a dog that will succumb to your every wish . that sits home alone in full lotus waiting for his master to return so he can wag his tail as if to say " thanks for abandoning me all day, i had a blast"
all of the problems that you listed could be considered unique independent character that has a will,of his or her own and doesn't cater to the every need of the pathetic owner . 🤮
Woot woot can't wait to get my Shiba Inu puppy it's going to be so much fun training such an intelligent and individualistic breed. And should actually be easier than some dog breeds I've trained in the past (at least for me)
We’ve had German shepherds, a rough collie/sheltie mix, and chihuahua/jack russel terrier mix. Where would a shiba fall in this?
I’d say many people can’t deal with many dogs because they don’t have the patience & temperament to own dogs in general (or be a parent) you need your dog to love & trust you by treating them LIKE THE TREASURE THEY ARE! Not spoiling them but feeding them HIGH QUALITY FOODS not garbage dry gluten poison crap & by having confidence that what you’re doing is the best thing for the dog… EASY!
I have 5 Shibas…if you want a dog that will see you as “Master” then don’t get a Shiba…If you want a Smart, Loyal, Protective FAMILY MEMBER, then Get A Shiba Inu!
There is a Shiba that comes regularly to greet us at my workplace. She loves to say hello but doesn’t allow many people to pet her (mostly this sehe knows for all of her live) She is stubborn and bitchy at times and knows how to tell you if she doesn’t like something. But we all love her because she is a sweet girl with a big personality. It took a while to gain her trust but it felt so much more meaningful when she allowed me to pet her for the very first time after nearly two years. I just love Shiba ini for their individuality.
Hey @animal facts I want to say something and if ur reading this PLEASE read it till the end (it’s a very good tip) “hello so I think ur vid is
Nice, I know ur telling peoples tips, I like it....but it’s the person who’s getting the dogs chooses what dog he wants, we all haves the right to
Choose the dog we want and probably if u make this vid might affect the persons who is choosing the dog and ALSO probably he chosen this dog but by seeing this might make him change his mind (probably canceling the puppy and wasted a LOT of money) or may make him
Anxious and unhappy.” So that’s my tip, excellent video!
My shiba is 2 years old and we’ve had her since she was 2 months old… she was beyond easy to train.. we create trained her… potty trained her and all that. It’s not the dog it’s the owner… she has been a dream. No attitude no stubbornness… only chews on her bones and toys. We live in an apartment and she is in her element.
We (my son and daughter in law actually) have two, and I was prepared to be very angry and annoyed by this video. Spot on. Shibas are AMAZING animals. Accept that they are part cat, a large part, and you will be much better prepared for one. Super, super important, they are escape artists. Much as you want to let them off leash to play, you just can't. Next, they are super, super intelligent. When a Shibe puts its mind to doing something, like stealing a stick of butter, or getting that skein of wool, or getting onto the dining room table, it will do it. It may take a while, but the dog will do it. They own you, and will be completely loyal to only one person. Ellie is my son's dog. She loves me, I love her, she expects certain behaviors from me (as in "You will take me for our walk, NOW"), but rarely if ever will listen to my commands. They are extremely mood sensitive. Ellie and Odin know when I'm feeling down, and will cuddle with me and not leave me alone for a minute. They know when all is fine and dandy, they come for their treat, give a quick rub, and they are off and running elsewhere. The sensitivity however is remarkable. And for quiet dogs, they are very vocal. They see ghosts and protect the house from them. If there is a stick on the fence that doesn't belong, there is staring and barking till the cows come home. And as for the Shiba scream, it has to be heard to be believed. If you can imagine a dog having its rear leg slowly and mercilessly twisted out if its socket, you might come close. But only close. The best and safest way to produce the scream is to pick one up, and show it water filling a bathtube. They hate water. Really hate water. They are amazing animals, gentle, loyal to the pack, protective of their master, funny, quirky, and you're right, not for everyone.
I have an extremely hyper male shiba that makes other shibas go calm and just watch him be crazy😂 i take him for 20km trekking in the weekends and he is still full of energy when we get back!!! Shiba is the hardest breed you can get! Remember that it is a hunting breed so they are veryy very active... and they do whatever they want! You would need to spend min 1 hr training, every day +2 hr walks... despite all his trouble, I would only get shiba or akita inu... they are really smart and human like, but that means they have personality and therefore extremely stubborn!
I had to laugh while watching this video! You hit it on the head with Shibas! Everything you said was spot on. We have two Shiba's and they both fit perfectly into the mold you described. One note, we do have a cat and both our Shibas play with him like he is another dog. Of course it probably helps in that the cat thinks he is a dog. He goes on walks with the Shibas. He plays with them and even sleeps with one of them. For anyone who is thinking on getting a Shiba, just know that everything in this video is true.
That's awesome, you should upload video of walking your pets.
quiet in door ?
Yet many people in the comments don't agree and claim that this video was at least exaggerated 🙄
Giving reasons not to get one while showing us cute footage. I don’t think your message will be received :).

In reality, there is no "best breed"- there are breeds with different traits/needs and people need to match that up with their lifestyle. The idea that certain breeds aren't recommended for first time dog owners has merit as well, but if the person is committed, does their research, and seeks help with training/socializing any dog can be your first dog. I think this video displays that concept well.
My shiba is looking at me while listening to this video thinking “what blasphemy is this?!? Manipulation?!? Why I never”
Don’t care. Bought me a shiba after the doge coin made me 15k richer 🥰
I guess every shiba iv had since I was a kid was fake.
Iv had them grab me but never bite over a toy. Was regularly left alone with them as a small child and left my kids with them.
They have all been pretty easy to train as they're highly food motivated.
Only issue iv had is they view any attention as good attention and will deliberately get caught doing something they shouldn't if they get board.
While I've never felt the need in physically punishing a dog, shiba definitely respond to negative punishments.
Watching this with my shiba inu rn
100% Agree, don't forget thousand of Dalmatian euthanized due to 101 Dalmatian Syndrome
I cannot imagine NOT owning a Shiba Inu. I've had mine for over 2 years now, since she was an 8 week old puppy. With proper training, applied early on, they can make the best, loyal, spirited dogs. By training, I mean putting them through puppy school first, ideally the first two levels, then daily 10 minute refresher to keep them mentally engaged. These dogs are smart and get bored easily. Ensure to supply enough of toy puzzles, teach them new tricks (they love it!). Not reliable off- leash but it doesn't mean they can't be taught this skill. Off-leash training should start when they are still puppies - before they turn 12 weeks. Start your training the minute you bring them home. I would never have mine off- leash in urban areas (1. illegal, where I live 2. high prey drive - they to chase anything that moves and is smaller in size than them), but when we hike, she is always off-leash and loves it.
I do not recommend this breed for people, who like to have their dog in their face at all times - Shibas like their own space and sometimes they may not be in a mood to hang out - respect it. This is why small kids and Shibas may not be a good mix. Little kids may be just a bit too much for them.
Mine loves a good kill - they are hunting dogs after all, and if you have mice or rats in or around your house or even flies - she will promptly send them to their respective heaven. Did I mention they are excellent guard dogs as well? Anything out of ordinary outside of your window, they are sure to alert you about. Be it a broken glass that is reflecting sun, a pilon your road crew left behind or your pizza delivery dude - you name it, your Shiba will tell you all about it.
This is Soo depressing, I search for Shiba Inu in UA-cam and all this crypto crap shows up most of the time, even the ads.
I feel this series should be called something else because the title is Clickbait and it seems very unfair to the animal. I feel it should be called “what you should know before you get a Shiba Enu.”
Let me just say i own 3 shiba inus and a german shepard. My shibas have never shown any aggression towards another dog breed or small animal. We had a cat and my shibs the only thing they would do to him is play with him, clean him, and cuddle him. They have been around rabbits and other small animals and again never once any form of aggression even when left unsupervised. Also mine were extremely easy to train within 3 days of owning an 8 week old shib he was able to sit lay and roll over. They are extremely intelligent and I think are a good fit for first time dog owners like I was when I got mine only thing I would say is do plenty of research on the breed like I did before getting one to be sure they are the right breed for you. I am able to let all 3 of mine free roam outside with me without fence, leads, or runners. I am even able to leave my front door open while bringing things into the house and my dogs will either stand at the door waiting and watching me or they will come out and walk next to me. I am able to fully trust the breed as should anyone else as long as you give them the proper training and treatment.
I have a shiba inu and I'm affraid I have to disagree with most of the facts displayed in this video. Shiba inus like cats and are not destructive. In fact, I have never had a dog before until I got my shiba. If you gain its respect at first hand, they'll never disappoint you. My shiba is good with people, particularly with kids, hates dogs (yeah, that fact is correct), loves cats (either mine or strays), has hardly ever destroyed something at home and, even though he is very stubborn, if you keep him in line, he complies with every order, even though he will let it pretty clear that what you are asking from him is not something of his liking. Another good and strong point of shibas is that they hardly ever bark, they only do so when something is wrong or not of their liking (I mean, in their sorroundings, there are some neighbours that my shiba doesn't like and thus he runs to the door to bark, but just one or two barks and that will be it). They are quite, tranquil and VERY intelligent, and when I say VERY, I mean it. My shiba learnt his name as a puppy in THREE HOURS, and he understands EVERY order even if it's the first time I say it. Shibas don't like water, and bathing them is supposed to be a titanic task, and that's when they use their so well known shiba scream. Mine, in particular, did that once and after realizing that his particular scream was not going to save him from bath, he never uses it again. I highly recommend shibas as pets, I really do. But please, as this video informs, NEVER let your shiba inu walk withouth a leash. Even if they don't run away, they'll do as they please if you don't use a strong and commanding voice to keep them in line. If you are weak for dogs and don't know how to establish limits, rethink about getting a shiba. If you are stern and show the shiba that you are the one in command, then go ahead, but keep this in mind, YOU DO NOT OWN YOUR SHIBA, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE NEGOTIATING WITH IT TO KEEP YOUR RELATIONSHIP HEALTHY, GIVE AND TAKE, if the shiba decides to obey you, then you'd have done things correctly (:
My Shiba Inu was the best dog ever always listened to me never barked are did the shiba scream never pooed are peed in the house the only dumb thing he’s ever done was run in front of a car when he was young and he learned his lesson
Selfish, stubborn, aggressive, sensitive, aloof, dumb. Terrible terrible breed
The truth is that a lot of dogs shown In this video are not pure shiba's. I see a lot of husky mixes.
i lived in local town in japan,
When i see ppl walking with dogs.
approx. 75% = Shiba (Blown, and black, white).
approx. 25% = foreign dogs. (chiwawa ? or something tiny dogs from outland)
such town.
much shiba.
very common.
wow. ( '‘ω‘)b
“ 5 Reasons Not To Get A Shiba Inu” - 🤓
Bro I thought you were talking about the crypto currency shiba inu.
Just let me have a happy life
I’ve had 2 Shiba’s and I highly recommend people to buy one. Are they stubborn yeah of course but being hard to train I haven’t had that issue. Maybe I’ve been lucky but I think they’re great dogs.
Sure they’re great dogs. They’re just not for everyone. I’m a highly experienced dog owner and I’d still not want one. Of course I also feel the same way about some other breeds.
Oh God, Is this dog more stubborn than weimaraner?
I got a shiba inu and it was bery fun to play with and was a little. Stubborn but not hard to train
You can fully train a Shiba with time, CONSISTENCY, and following through. If you are just as stubborn as the shibe, you should own one. My Shiba is off leash trained, and has his obedience totally down✨
As you can see we are already in July and I feel

I'm so tired of people spreading false information about this particular breed. Not all Shiba's are the same energetically. My shiba's are both very passive and sensitive. I'm on my second, I had my first one for 18 years. They are no more difficult to train or more stubborn than any other dog that I've had. All dogs have 3 energetic temperament levels, (High, Medium, and Low) It has nothing to do with the breed. If you have a low energy lifestyle then don't choose a high temperament dog, regardless of the breed. If your energy doesn't match or is higher than the dog then the dog will rule and this is true of any breed. I have a type a personality, I am the Alpha, so I don't choose high energy dogs. The point is you choose a dog by energy level, not appearance, or popularity.
I wish i could have a doge... the doge looks like my dog bella who had sadly passed away to old age
I've got a house full of bull dogs...I know all about stubborn
There’s a new coin called STB Shib giving away free Binance Peg Shiba Inu! Check it out! How could you miss that??lol
I bought some just cause I couldn't pass up that cuteness.
Why shouldn’t i get one? Because I’ll fall in love 😍
Definitely not for people who are looking for the typical dog that is affectionate, attentive, and easily trainable. My poodle displays more affection in a day than the Shiba does in a month. The poodle picks up the names of people from a few repeat visits. The Shiba still does not know who “mommy” is at six years old. The poodle will learn a trick in three days while the Shiba takes over three weeks to learn the same trick.
For sure.
It's a Shiba Inu fact, each shiba owner has to buy shiba crypto
“The dreaded shiva scream” oh boy I know that one lmao every time I try to bathe my shiba it sounds like I’m trying to kill her🤦🏼♀️🤪😂😂
5 reason for not subscribing this channel
My 2 shibas love their sisters two cats they actually lay together.
I love my Shiba inu I don't care if he's stubborn..
Shiba inus are popular bc its an Roblox adopt me pet
I hate when people punish their dogs for wrecking their house when meanwhile it often only happens because the dog is lonely, and feeling abandoned by owners that are not home enough etc. Or some other major need like exercise is not being met.
We have a red shiba inu, Miko. He has all those personalities BUT he is sweet, gentle, loving, he loves giving kisses, he loves receiving attention, he is an awesome emotional support for my daughter who is going through rough times, he is funny, he is playful…this is our first dog and im so glad i didnt listen to people who discouraged me into getting one. We love him and he is part of our family ❤
I agree, we have a shiba and she really is very different to all the other breeds. Growing up we always had dogs, different breeds from small to big dogs. So I know how to raise and read dogs very well. We love our shiba to bits and like her free spirited, very intelligent and loving nature. She is very affectionate towards us but is very aloof with strangers. I would however not recommend a shiba for first dog owners or ppl without good knowledge on how to 'read' dog communication and expect a dog to be a follower.
I’ve got 3 shibas, one in every color, it’s almost 1:30 in the morning and they are running around the house like lunatics playing bouncing off the walls…..think twice people.
Sounds like they need to be trained, and crated as well at bed time.
Lack of training and exercise. Routine helps. Give them attention.
Let them go outside or take them for walks. They're high energy type dogs. If you expect them to be indoors all the time, expect your stuff to be chewed on or destroyed. Take them to obedience school and you need to be an attentive owner. Letting them run around wild in your home is irresponsible and they can quickly dominate you if you don't set boundaries with them. You need to be the alpha for them; or they will not respect you.
