Breed Review: American Akita (18 Pics)

#13 The American Akita feels great in a country house with a spacious yard.

The large territory is her element: there is something to protect, and there is where to feel like a master. Keeping a dog in an apartment, in any case, does not turn your pet into a "prisoner" of your square meters. The representative of this breed needs not only regular but also long walks. Moreover, you need to walk it twice a day for at least 1-2 hours. Walks just "for the show" are not suitable for Akita. They should be interesting, intense, active, with elements of play and training. All these points will help to maintain the physical and mental health of the dog at the proper level.

#14 The American Akita has a wonderful memory and trusts its owner, therefore it is very important not to deceive the dog, she does not like it and remembers such moments for the future.

That is, if, for example, you lured her with a delicacy or gave the command "Eat!" or "Take a walk!", but at the same time did nothing, then you risk losing the trust of the pet: he will cease to perceive you as his leader.

#15 Quite often, a problem arises in the behavior of an Akita, such as aggression towards other dogs, which can cause some trouble for the owner.

It is to dogs: she often shows loyalty to cats, but only to “her own” - there will simply be no outsiders on the territory she controls. As for other people's dogs, adult Akitas, especially males, almost never accept other dogs into their society. On walks, they often show their character far from the best side, provoking quarrels and fights. From this we draw a simple conclusion: once you are with your pet in places where dogs are walking, in no case do not let him off the leash.
