Why This Dog Breed Isn't Easily Trainable

The Shiba Inu

The Shiba Inu dog breed is one of the six known native Japanese dog breeds. With small upright ears and cat-like traits, they were originally bred to hunt wild boars. However with time, they have grown into cozy companions. If you’re a lover of both cats and dogs like me, then this is your breed. Generally good natured, they are also known to be very bold and alert.

They are known to be stubborn, notoriously playful and charming which makes them difficult to train. Overall however, they are loyal with an awesome personality and make great companions. They also make great family companions once trained and socialized early as puppies. They adapt well to apartment living and require enough space for training and playing. It must however be noted that, their restless and notoriously playful nature, require that, they are constantly kept on a leash. Unleash a shiba Inu and it would go chasing after birds, cats and other pets in the house. Some of the diseases that the Shiba Inu is prone to are hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, hypothyroidism, and von Willebrand's disease.

Over-all, once well trained this curly tailed, fox-like and ninja-like dog breed is great to have around the house. Due to its notoriously charming personality, some say, owning this dog breed is a way of life. What do you think?
