#10 The American Akita is distinguished by boundless devotion to the owner and his family members.
Like the Cane Corso, she gets along very well with children, often even caring for them like a nanny. But, unlike the “Italian”, our “American” of two young children cannot be trusted. It’s not at all because he is capable of offending them. On the contrary, when he feels a threat, then, without hesitation, he will rush to protect small households. Akita cannot be a full-fledged nanny because of its size. Leaving the baby alone with her, you cannot be completely sure that the dog will not inadvertently push him or injure him in some way. For which of the younger members of the Akita family will become a true friend, it is for adolescents. They will not find a better companion in active games and various pranks!
#11 At the same time, such features as obsession and importunity are absolutely not inherent in the breed.
Although Akita was specially bred to live with a person, she still needs personal space. The "American" will never get tangled under your feet, but at the same time, you should not impose on him once again.
#12 The peculiarities of the “inner world” of the breed include intolerance to rudeness on the part of the owner and other household members.
If you shout at an American Akita or punish her unfairly, she is very offended. Never raise your voice at your pet, do not offend him, and even more so do not apply physical punishment to him.
