My Story with Autumn Dog June (3)

My Story with Autumn Dog June (3)

I remember that in the first week after June came home, she had to poop at 1:30 every night. She refused to poop in the fence at all, because Shiba Inus like to be clean and don’t like to poop in their own territory, so she scratched the door every night to get out to poop. I was really angry at the time, and I didn’t know why she had such a strange biological clock. I didn’t understand at the time, so in order to make her get used to pooping in the fence, I put her in a small area after she finished eating, and waited for her to poop with my eyes wide open.

But June was also very stubborn, and I spent 3 hours with her, and finally she gave in. But I found that she liked to poop in a fixed place, so I laid a urine mat there, and rewarded her with food every time she pooped on the mat, and finally she learned to poop on the mat. Now as she grows up, she has a stronger ability to hold her poop, and can insist on going outdoors to poop every day, and the hard work has finally come to an end.

I think raising a dog really tests one’s patience, and it feels no different from raising a child. When June was little, she once peed on me, making a lot of noise. I was angry and wanted to be mean to her at that time, but my boyfriend advised me that she didn’t know anything and didn’t mean it, so I shouldn’t be angry. Emma, ​​I had to endure my temper, thinking that a good girl doesn’t fight with a dog.

Another time, the gap between the fence I bought was too big, and the little one actually got out while I was sleeping. When I woke up in the morning, the alarm clock woke me up and I opened my eyes and found her sitting by the bed, looking at me with her head tilted. There were small black paw prints on the ground next to her (who knows where she went at night). My heart almost stopped beating, and I was scared to death. She looked at me innocently…

Don’t be deceived by her smile .

Next, let’s talk about June’s training.

Fortunately, June is a little foodie, so she is happy to learn various actions in order to get some dried meat. Shiba Inu is actually very smart, the only thing is that it is a little stubborn. In fact, many times you see that it actually knows what to do, but it just doesn’t want to do it. Instead, it slowly does things after staring at each other for a while.

I use the lazy training method, that is, when she accidentally does the action I want, I will shout the name of the action, and then give her some dried meat, and slowly she will understand. But this method needs to be repeated for a long time, 10 minutes a day is enough, which is equivalent to playing with it.

At present, June has learned to sit, lie down, stand up, wait, and come over. But recently I am obsessed with wanting her to learn to play dead and jump, but she hasn’t learned it yet. If someone can teach these two things, please share your experience. Some people say that Shiba Inu’s personality is not particularly stable, and it may not be able to learn to play dead. After learning more, can I take her to perform and let her supplement the family income?

In addition, she should be desensitized by petting every day, starting from the day she returns home. Touch her whole body every day, including her teeth. In this way, she will get used to being petted by others, and she will not bite people suddenly when others touch her.
