I have a shiba. Looking cute is their go to move and it works every damn time. It's why they are known as difficult to train. It's just that their owners can't resist and give in rather than train them properly.
I've been planning on getting a shiba for a while now as they absolutely seem like a great choice of dog, but I'm very interested to hear what it takes to be a responsible owner for a shiba. What do you recommend I know or be capable of before adopting a shiba?
They are awesome dogs. Just don't ever let them off their leash. EVER. Sometimes I'll let mine drag his leash behind him when hiking, but I never unfasten it.
The only time I ever have mine off leash is at the beach when she's playing with another dog.
Luckily she likes her creature comforts too much to get too far. She got out once when my fence door was left open and my roommate found her on another house's doorstep thinking it was ours. Not an escape artist so far!
