I have a super caring Shiba (2)
——-Dividing line———-Someone actually read this, so I couldn’t help but post some more. Actually, we had never had a dog before we got a Shiba Inu. We did a lot of research, and it was said that if you have never had a dog, Shiba Inu is not a breed suitable for novice dog owners. Because they are smart, they are difficult to train. For example, it took only a week to complete toilet training, but it would not pay attention to us if we tried to teach it to do other things such as sit or shake hands. If I have something it wants to eat in my hand, it will perform all the tricks it knows without me having to call it. It likes to be clean, but it sheds its fur twice a year, which is really annoying. It sheds all over the floor right after you vacuum it.
A little trick for raising a dog is to socialize it and send it to dog school during the very small window of 9-12 weeks. We received him from a carefully selected breeder when he was 8 weeks old. In order not to affect his personality and potty train, we did not let the breeder send him by plane, but drove more than ten hours to Ohio to pick him up. When we arrived on the afternoon of the first day, we went to exchange feelings with him. We saw that both his parents were very friendly. Parents with bad personalities will also affect the puppy’s personality in the future. We picked him up the next morning, stopped the car every two hours to let him go to the toilet, and finally got home in the evening. At that time, we still rented an apartment, and the house was well prepared. We strictly implemented crate train, and he would feel safe in it.
On the third day, he entered the puppy class that had been scheduled earlier. In the first year, we took him to various places every day to socialize, such as crowded places, farms, and stores that allow dogs. However, as a dog with good taste, within the first week, it chewed the thin part of my MacBook power cord, picked out a pair of $700 Bottega high heels from a pile of shoes and chewed the heel with relish, and even tried to bite the pedal of a bicycle. When it opened its mouth to the right size to bite it, I happened to see it in the eyes, and we were both stunned. It reacted first, slowly moving its open little dog mouth away from the pedal and closing it again. It was not an ordinary bicycle, but a carbon fiber bicycle used in the Tour de France. A pair of stirrups cost three or four hundred dollars. Finally, when we bought a house and were about to move, it was 10 months old and bit the wooden corner of the wall of the rental apartment. We didn’t blame it, but we didn’t give it enough things to chew. It doesn’t eat ordinary snacks, only real beef tendon sticks. I tried more than 20 kinds of dog food, but it refused to eat any of them. Later, I finally found out that it only eats a very niche grain-free dog food produced in Canada.
———–The original answer is below this line————A combination of a dog and a cat, and it’s super smart. It can judge whether to bark or not. If we are outside the door, it will run down to greet us but won’t bark. If it is a stranger, it will judge for itself whether to bark. There was a time when it liked to estimate our actions. For example, when we go downstairs, it will run down first to try to estimate whether we are going to take it out or not. And it usually doesn’t like people to hold it, but it loves to play. It can always accurately judge whether we are going to catch it or just stand up to do something else before we stand up from the sofa. If someone is going to hold it, it can always tell in advance and run away quickly.
Although it is usually arrogant, it is extremely patient with my three-year-old son. It allows the child to do anything that we are not allowed to do, such as putting his feet on it, using it as a pillow, riding it, and playing doctor games with it wearing a toy blood pressure monitor. It has no interest in other children. My son has been walking with it since he could walk. It never pulls him and keeps pace with him. When other children walk it, it runs without caring and knocks them down.
Kiba took the initiative to give half of the bed to my little devil. Kiba has a very independent personality (cold). Unless we catch it and hold it in our arms, it will not lie so close to others, not to mention in its dog bed. It only allows my little devil to get close to it like this.
