5 Things Shiba Inu Owner Should Start Doing on DAY 1

[@danieldeanharrison]

I’d like to add a vital part to owning a Shiba Inu for the first time. Make sure you give your new Shiba lots and lots of love, seriously. Through pets, hugs and kisses. Reason being is that if you don’t give that type of attention they’ll become more and more aloof and won’t listen to you. There will be times when you will have to discipline them, but after a while reassure them that you still love them. This type of bonding will especially help you with your shiba coming back to you when they’re off the lease or free roaming on a farm or acreage.

[@SuperShiba]

True, your Shiba knows whether you love him or not and the owner can still be firm on rules and discipline but with love.

[@jenniferking2243]

ayyyye!!

[@rubys.shibanigans]

I agree! I've done that with ALL of my pets and people always wondered why they were so nice. I've had 4 cats in my life, none of them were mean and they all loved cuddles and affection. I've been doing this to my shiba puppy and she is still cuddly even after almost a month of being with me.

[@jenniferking2243]

@@rubys.shibanigans How old is your shibe now?

[@MisterZimbabwe]

Huh, I wonder if that's why of the three people that own shibas in my neighborhood, mine is the best behaved and friendliest. The other two owners don't seem to give their doges the same amount of attention and love I give mine. Their doges definitely shape up a bit whenever I get to interact with them and tell them how great and fuzzy and adorable they are. I think people should just give me their shibas, they clearly can't love them as much as I do.

[@larabarbatowolf803]

another tip is to remember to touch your dogs food, interact with them while they eat (don’t overdo it) take the food away and give it to them again so that they don’t develop aggression do to possessiveness towards the food. the same applies to spots in the house and toys!

[@shortyrok211]

1st tip is so crucial. I took my Roo with me almost everywhere. It made him so aware, comfortable and smart.

[@lifeofashibapuppycooper4243]

i just got a shiba puppy.. been caring for him for 2 weeks now, whew! it's both exhausting yet rewarding. Your tips are super helpful!

[@SuperShiba]

Glad it helps!!

Same here!!

[@daria_zorina]

Hi! How is your shiba doing?

[@TVeres-3dRm]

I've had many Shibas, some raised from pups, some adopted off the street and from agencies. All of them have been a Complete and Absolute Joy! You have 3 have lots of patience for this breed. You don't pick them, they pick You! So, if they did, consider yourself Blessed! We just lost my first boy that I raised from a tot, he was 15. Lett me tell you, he was oh so Special to me ♥️. My heart and soul were touched by his presence here in Earth. He got me though many tough times in my life, which I can never repay.🌈. Jimmy looks just like my first Shiba! God Bless You Jimmy!😘

[@SuperShiba]

Thanks so much for sharing. They are indeed very special and you’re right about they pick you and not the other way around. I am sorry for your loss but I am sure he’s had a wonderful 15 years with you❤️

[@kaaesz]

Thanks for sharing your experience with Jimmy 🙏🏻 We are happy owners of a 9 week old shiba Inu puppy and we’re following everything that you published :)

[@SuperShiba]

Congrats on the new puppy! Remember to take lots of pictures because they grow fast. 9 weeks is such a cute but also chaotic period. Enjoy the journey 👍

[@gabooper]

I've had my 13 week old puppy for a week and oh my goodness it is hard! I adore my little baby and your tips are giving me motivation to keep working hard on our bonding and house breaking!

[@Sea-o3h]

When I took my Shiba to her dermatologist for the first time, they had biting gloves and a thick towel to hold her down since they had bad experiences with Shiba Inus. They asked me if she was violent and I told her she is very stoic and will allow them to do the check up. They adore her since she is the nicest Shiba they know and it's because I always touched her paws, looked in her ears and mouth basically mimicking what a vet does at a check up. Your vet will thank you and the experience will be easier on your precious Shiba.

[@blueshibai]

Yes to all this. I had NO idea that a dog could be so judgy. Shibas are the unicorns of the dog world in that they have the personality of a cat in the body of a dog. But WOW!!! The rewards are worth it. My sheeb is amazing and I wouldn't change a thing and I don't think I could go back to other breeds (god help me) 😍 💕 ❤️

[@ayenor1111]

[@mariana7802]

Are they good with two little hyper toddlers you think?

[@Datbombboody]

@@mariana7802 no, if it's not a puppy i would probably not introduce them to toddlers

[@derrickhess2591]

I just got my shiba last week and he’s doing so good! Your videos are very helpful

[@larabarbatowolf803]

here’s a list of some things that my shiba lightly destroyed for new owners to stay aware when puppy proving: toilet paper coffee table books water bottle caps bedside table leg plant pots socks cotton a small bit of the wall and others that i don’t remember... be sure to think like a dog when puppy proving your home (;

[@larabarbatowolf803]

some thing my family did to stop the dog from doing that in order: close the bathroom door put books out of reach always close bottles a SMALL amount of chilli paste (it licked it once and stayed away forever, use with caution) aluminum foil on top of the soil store them close drawers and again the chilli paste

[@SuperShiba]

Hi thanks for sharing. Indeed puppy proof your home is very important because puppy is going to bite EVERYTHING. The things Jimmy destroy are such a long list I cannot even remember all of it 😂

[@Carterwash3re]

This is an identical list to what my shiba destroyed

[@DeuceGort]

I love how you add chapters to your videos. Thank you!

[@SuperShiba]

I always work on make it easier for the viewers. Thanks for noticing 👍

[@larabarbatowolf803]

just to put some more light in the first thing: touch your dog EVERYWHERE when they are a puppy! paws, snout, paws, tail, ears ALL OF IT!!!

[@MichelleSMV]

I'm thinking about getting a Shiba in a few months or so. I already have a puppy who's almost a year, so I hope that they will get along! This video is pretty helpful for understanding shibas. Thank you!

Hi thinking getting one but I have little kids in grade school, and don't have a yard just a deck. wondering if I can make it work. How long are the walks first thing in the morning? And how long after he wakes up can he wait to go potty outside Thanks I appreciate the help!

[@melanophore]

OMG we also have the trash pickup problem! I walk my girl in the mornings, and Tuesdays are tough. I think she even recognizes that it is Tuesday when she sees the trash bins on the curb. It is a very stressful walk.

[@AbsoluteZia121]

Shiba inus are introverts and are stubborn I feel this will be a great bond!

[@titch7695]

I had a Shiba Inu for 14yrs 2months. Poppy was my world. She died a Queen. My Shiba was red and white, like your Shiba. Poppy was stubborn , thing's were done at her pace. But my favourite moment with Poppy we when she spoke saying "no no " she was loyal and very loving and did as she was told. Sadly, I had to have her put to sleep, nearly 5 yrs ago. I miss her everyday 😢😢😢😢😢

[@larabarbatowolf803]

when my family got our puppy, before she was vaccinated and was allowed out of the house, we took her out for walks but we carried her! that way she does touch the dirty ground, but still gets used to other dogs, the street and smells

[@reginagrobosz8807]

Your dog is super adorable ♥️💕 If I ever met him, surely I would want to pet him just for a while.

Very good tips. We have been doing the same things with Shinji. We still got lots to learn. 👍🏻

[@hellabella8295]

This is for EVERY dog but especially dogs like Shiba’s who are aloof. Being a pack leader is extremely important as this breed can become dominant and insecure if the owners don’t know what they are doing.

[@blueshibai]

They can sense weakness, and since they have supreme confidence in their superiority, its better to be a pack leader from day one. Train yourself too! Shibas (and all dogs) need to KNOW what they are expected to do.

[@juancasanova2449]

This video is right on point with shiba behavior 👏... I own one...also ones they trust you and you became the pack leader...now you have to deal with a 2 year old kid that follows you every where and I mean every where it could become annoying at times and also ones stablishing their routine you best stick to it because he will demanded and your dog will act up if you break his routine. Good luck

[@martindegn3777]

Lovely tips for a beginner ☺️. Looking forward to get my own girl 🦊

[@ClintonSiegel]

So good!!! Thank you!!

[@Pompomeranian7]

I invade my shibas personal space all the dang time and he's cool with me playing with his feet and trimming his nails/bathing/brushing/etc but he gets huffy when i move him over when he is laying down or resting. You have to wake him and ask him politely to move over or he throws a little shiba tantrum like "IM HECKIN SLEEPIN HERE WOMAN!!" Very dramatic breed😅

Our 10 month old shiba does this too.

[@commentarytalk1446]

It's good advice and Shibas are more difficult than other breeds so the advice is quite applicable in general. It's also so GOOD that USEFUL advice that benefits the dog is SHOWN to people to show: 1. How much work is needed if you get a puppy (times x for Shibas) 2. What works to make your dog come out well for itself and for the owners 3. Sharing tips and experience to increase general knowledge vs people who choose a dog based only on looks/cuteness. These are some of the best Shiba videos on youtube because of this.

[@mariadln777]

Shiba Inus are a very elegant and intelligent breed of dogs, look like a teddy, clever like a fox. But they can be stubborn and have a cat like personality to easily ignore you if it is not to their best interest, which is usually food. There are not too keen on petting or cuddling, very aloof about cuddles, and shed a lot, but they are super clean and easily potty trained...but not really for first time dog owners.

[@PianoDummy]

assuming the dog lives 15 years... u are saying everyone should wait 15 years to get experience and then get a shiba :)

[@kimgordon3695]

Cuddling comes after 18mos. & Only with the people they have total trust. It's a delightful reward... 🐕

So adorable... The training is for the human, not the dog....

[@windowwithaview4209]

We have a 4 months old Shiba inu yes he is very difficult and we try our best to do everything but he did something that is really strange 2 times when I disciplined him, he went upstairs to my room, peed and poop on the carpet and came down running fast, But I did not see him doing it. The interesting thing I have blocked the stairway From day one and he knows going upstairs is and no no he actually never seen it. I'm also not sure how he went up and came back so quickly and twice after I disciplined him On 2 different occasions. What does that mean ?

[@SuperShiba]

Sounds like he is showing his displeasure by pooping in a prohibited area. It can also simply be he didn't get enough potty breaks and he cannot hold too long. Make sure you are taking your dog out 3-4 times, especially after he has a big meal or drink a lot of water. Also should make sure the blocking mechanism is working as it intended to be 100%. Shiba inus are sneaky creatures and they love to explore prohibited space if given the chance to do so. Good luck!

[@kimgordon3695]

Often urgent behavior such as #Shiba500 means "OUTSIDE!" THEY are super clean & hate to release in their sleep or play area Watch for timing following meals, play time & rest periods. 💞

[@SuperShiba]

Hi thanks for the comment and welcome to the channel. 14 weeks is still really young, with our dog Jimmy I would say his behavior gets better after he is 2 years old. To correct the biting your legs issue I would apply the same discipline method by verbally tell him no and also don’t give him any attention for the action. You can also make an yepping sound like it hurts, that should help as well. Good luck!

[@kimgordon3695]

@@SuperShiba Yes! 💞

[@alissaspafford8846]

if he is doing it out of boredom you can try going on a sniffari its a walk but instead of just waling in a straight line you go to an open area like a park of field and wander and sniff about.

[@qtkatasmr238]

Question, do you put your shiba inu in a kennel when you are away from home or at night? If no, do you let them roam free?

[@SuperShiba]

Hi Mama Dess, thanks for reaching out! When Jimmy was young(under one year old) we absolutely place him in a playpen/crate overnight and also when we are not around. Jimmy is now 3 years old and now he doesn't have a cage anymore. He is roaming freely all the time at home. But for a puppy I would recommend a cage. I have a video that detailed step by step how we eventually remove the cage that might be helpful - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIvZd2WhnMh8aLM Good luck!
