#13 Training requires a lot of patience and understanding of the characteristics of the breed.
So, if a dog is carried away by some smell, it is almost impossible to get attention from it. Experienced dog handlers actively use the curiosity of the animal, turning the learning process into a game. High intelligence allows the Shiba Inu to solve even very complex problems, however, a wayward character is often an obstacle to full-fledged training.
#14 It is important to understand that animals have a negative attitude towards personal contact, have proprietary tendencies and are very freedom-loving, therefore, from an early age, the Shiba Inu must be educated and socialized.
Untrained adults are difficult to train, do not tolerate tactile contact. This breed will be an ideal companion for strong, charismatic people who are confident in themselves and understand what they want from life.
Hardy and active, the Shiba will be happy to practice coursing, dog-frisbee, canine freestyle, agility.
#15 Although dogs of this breed are not picky about food, the food must be balanced and contain all the necessary elements.
Given the origin of the animal, fish, seafood, rice and algae are necessarily included in the diet of the Shiba Inu. Wheat, corn, chicken, and beef are given with caution - these products can cause allergies. Eggs, smoked meats, chocolate, and sweets are strictly prohibited, they negatively affect the digestive tract and the vascular system of the dog. The Shiba Inu diet can be enriched with vegetables. These pets do not eat much, so special attention should be paid to the quality of the feed.
