More tips:1) when my Ozzy was a puppy my late husband Dennis took his old socks with holes in them...balled them up...tied the knot and Ozzy LOVED to play with them! Ozzy never chewed on our shoes! 2) instead of rawhide Ozzy LOVED baby carrots! 3) females fur is more coarse than the males! BEST DOG EVER!

I live in an area where 2 of neighbours are very old persons (94 years old) and sometimes they fall in their garden. Every times, my 3 years old shiba alerted us and all the neighbourhood that they were in troubles because it's not usual for him to bark. And my very old neighbours know they can count on him and they called him for his help. He never failed them.

Honestly think this is the PERFECT breed for an individual or family who are independent in nature. My little Shiba plays right into my lifestyle since he naturally will mind his own business. When he wants attention he'll nudge me with his nose. Other than that he may just sit next to a window or lay down next to my office chair.

Some things i learned with my shiba... Intensive play first or second walk of the day helps mitigate his wildness. Make sure to do your training research. Hes incredibly food motivated and has screamed at me if i eat in front of him. Hes an older boy now and basically wants to play hard once a week, wants to sleep around on the pillows, wants to give side eye and attack the mirror.

I miss my boy. He passed a few months ago at only 6 years old. I miss him so so much. He was stubborn as hell and so mischievous. He was sick all the time so he was really bonded to me. He would always lay with me and sometimes he would come over to me while I was laying down and want me to pet him, his eyes would get big and dilate-he would look at me with indescribable love. When the toxins from his liver went to his brain he lost control of his legs and couldn’t get up and wouldn’t even attempt to move for anyone. I rushed home from work and when he heard and saw me he tried to get up but fell over. It was so sad. Putting him down was the hardest thing I ever had to do. Everyday my heart of broken.

Shibas are definitely hard to deal with but very rewarding. Just like holding DOGE for three years and finally seeing it hit .70 lol

Watching this makes me feel so lucky to have my little Mitsuki with me. She is definitely all these traits, and I truly love her for who she is. She wild and quirky and independent and smart, Shibas are the perfect dog for those who embrace their uniqueness!

I love all your videos! I started watching last year because I wanted to get a shiba but was very nervous as it was my first dog. A year later I am so thankful for your videos! My dog is so well behaved (even though he likes to cause trouble some times). I couldn't have asked for a better dog!

Thank you so much for these Shiba videos!

Another great educational vlog !

Thank you for all the great tips. Luv Jimmy.

Jimmy looks just like my Nikko who is now almost 15! My husband and I have raised 4 Shiba Inus through the years, some from babies, some adopted. All have been a Great Joy!🐶🐶🐶🐶

I have a 7 yr old shiba, your video is hilariously accurate!

Really good insight.

Even when I did all the research I wasn't prepared for the sheer attitude of this dog

We have a shiba, he's now almost 2 years old, and only recently have we started to see him basically fully accepting my husband and me and accepting the fact that he has to listen to us. He still does sometimes what he wants, or acts like he suddenly just went deaf and can't hear you xD he's a joker for sure, but I could not imagine having any other dog, then again we have no children as of yet and I have not been working since Covid started, which convinces me that there is no possible way for people to have any dog and work, especially when they are puppies and need to go out every three hours. These are just my experiences though, just wanted to share gor anyone interested in getting one themselves

Congratulations on having a succesful video, this one has more views that usual

This is one of my favourite channel, I like Shiba Inu very much, your advice and teaching are so important, thanks for sharing.

My aunt's Bichon Frise has a similar personality to what you describe. It took a long time for us to get used to eachother but we finally came to an understanding and there is a bond between us now. I believe i can achieve this with a shiba. I am meeting my puppy next week and i am extremely nervous about the challanges ahead. Your videos have played a big part in educating me about owning a shiba and I am sure i will look to them in the future. Thank you.

thanx for your videos, we watch them together with our new shiba-puppy and learn so much

Best Shiba Inu channel on youtube!

Great video! Shibas are the greatest!! The barking part is so true, if your shiba is barking there is a problem, threat, or something that they don't think is normal.

Thank you for this terrific and informative video! You put into words several behaviors that I see, and now understand WHY. Our 2 year old pup has been manipulating us since we brought him home at 3 months. A new training regime is needed, for sure.

Quiet in comparison to other dogs, yes but also Shiba scream.

Very cute

Hahaha. So funny. I am grinning as I watch your video. Love your humor We definitely didn't know the trouble we were getting into. Our Shiba, Kenji, is definitely a rascal

Very cute Shiba!!

This is very cool, thanks. I'm currently in the process of deciding if I want a Shiba Inu or not.

Thank you for your videos they have been so helpful. I begin watching them before we got our dog. We picked up our Shiba yesterday.. I really love him already

Mari and Her 3 Puppies is one of the best movies I've ever seen. I'm a grown man and that movie makes me cry more than anything.

I loved your video. It was so true in every way. I was the proud owner of a (Judah The Lion King) Shiba Inu. He brought us so much laughter, joy and happiness for 16 years. Sadly he passed away 2 years ago but I miss his presence every day. Thank you so much for sharing and reminding me of the BEST BREED EVER🥰!

A tale of Mari and the threee puppies,my favorite doggo movie. The movie was moved me so much,Mari's motherfood and loyality are just like shiba inu. I watched mari in japanese tv show,she was so smart and beautiful.

I have a Shiba Inu i adopted via a friend who didn't have time for her. She took to me within days and now won't leave my side. I was surprised that she took ownership of me rather than the other way around. Very much like living with a highly stubborn agile calm 2-3 year old.

Thank you for the video I will be getting my shiba next year and this is helpful, as for being corky I guess he will fit right on in with his new family 🤣.

i love them

My Shiba always runs away. She is definitely an escape artist.

We have Newfoundlands (2) & Shibas (one senior and a new puppy). Shibas are wonderful companions, definitely run the house. they're very smart and that's appreciated here. They're easy to train if they can be shown why it's a good idea for them. Or, make them think what you want them to do is the best idea they ever had. Training is very necessary. Unfortunately, they can't be left off leash. One rabbit, deer or squirrel and off they go. They love to run and run faster than they can learn the way they went. Making it easy for them to get lost. They're excellent watch dogs, noticing anything or anyone out of place. They scream and that sets off the Big Dogs. Best home alarm system ever. We

I Just Love Your Subject matter as I have owned over 30 dogs but never a Shiba and am now thinking of getting one... Your help Is SO important to me in making That Decision... I am Going to get one, Based on Your Assesments and the fact I love this Dog Personality You Have Described... Love Your Channel and You.... You Should have over a Million Subscribers and will Soon: To My Favorite "Tuber" from your #1 Fan!!!

3:19 wiping away his eye-boogies, I do that daily with my shiba.

I love Jimmy’s smile when he rolls over!!! My tri-color plays the same game, except she plays dead. She will hold this position as long as it takes for someone to pay attention to her. Jimmy’s traits are so much like that of our Sesame male “Rolo” that we lost almost 2 years ago to a rare bone cancer. Roo could actually get the top off any bottle. It was bad if he got ahold of a perscription bottle. He could get the top off that too. His little 30 pounds took me down and licked me like he was giving me a bath. Shibas are such a special kind of love.

Cute dog 🐕

The shedding is the breaking point for me. There's hair all over this person's house. It would drive me insane 😩.

The shedding is no joke. People think I must deal with a lot of fur due to my longhair cat, but in reality my boyfriend's Shiba (that is only here maybe 2 days a week) contributes most of the fur buildup in my house 😭😅

Interesting

My shiba inu puts his face down and butt in the air and jumps on his hind legs to celebrate a good day at bed time… he runs up and down changing directions so fast to celebrate having a good walk… me and my shiba inu have a cosmic connection… they sent him here to teach me about when we will all be together in the other place

My Natsu has certainly all of these traits. He is stubborn and he is sometimes whiny, when he wants attention, but I love him. He is 8 months old and we still need some basic commands, because he just thinks he doesn't have to listen anymore :D. Recall is one of them, everything outside is more interesting than me. However, he is a wonderful dog and makes me laugh every day. Even when he steals a sock and you can see on his face that he is looking for a good hiding spot xD. It is hard sometimes, but worth :) Thank you for these videos, so I know I'm not alone.

I don’t think I could watch that kind of movie without tears either. Yea, I have to make orders seem like they’re his idea. I can call him back into the house but when he outright ignores me, for him, usually means he has to do a couple more things outside. He enjoys going after that squiggle ball too. I like when he does his howl after waking me up. He’ll pick up the bone and sometimes howl with it in his mouth. Funny. Sometimes sounds like a (muffled?) tuba sound.

I can 100% confirm this is true

Best dogs EVER. Anyone who doesn't like them or can't handle them is lame. They are willful and lazy, but you can work around that if you are clever. I call them "cat-dogs" and often talk about their "cat-like" behavior. Work around his habits and allow him to have certain quirks - like nap times, etc. The drawbacks are tiny compared to how fun and loving they are.

When I'm a millionaire because of doge I'm buying one of these dogs

I love the breed but I am not ready for a new dog just yet. I love your videos and look forward to learning about the breed.

It's not an easy dog breed but I think I'm ok at being a shiba parent. She is my first dog, but 5th pet after having 4 cats during my lifetime. She isn't very obedient, but she is doing pretty well for an almost 4 months old puppy. When outside, Ruby is very distracted by everything. There's good days and bad ones but I stay consistent. She likes chicken a lot so I take that when on walks and it often (but not always) motivates her. On bad days nothing makes her listen but I need to keep doing what I've been doing. Sometimes she can be frustrating but it's important to keep calm. On normal and good days, she is a pleasure to have. I'm used to cats so having a mind of her own and not being a people pleaser is familiar. She is loving and cuddly though. She definitely is quirky and makes me laugh. She learns quickly but might not listen. ;) I'm not the most patient person but she's teaching me to keep going and to be calm even in frustrating situations. I wouldn't recommend this breed to everyone, you need to research them. It doesn't matter if someone is a first time or experienced dog owner, they have specific traits that need to be researched.

👍👍👍

I love these dogs. I want one but I'm a bit intimidated by the intelligence in their eyes. Smart dogs are soooo good though, oh goodness. 💕✨️

Shiba inu are my favorite creature. All of them are different and that is what make this breed unique. 😁😁😁 If you Shiba is stubborn, be patient. Because hard work pays off. Shiba inu is very loyal, that is once it accepts you as its pack leader. Make sure to build a bond with your dog, and give attention and love to your dog this is the most important thing. Sidenote: This video is very very wholesome, it has probably become my favorite.😃 Love Your Channel. Dan

my dog also loves winter sun

The belief that the shiba inu isn’t good for first time owners is rubbish if your dog is stubborn you have to find some way to get them engaged In what you want them to do Great video

I have a sheba enu but she is a special case she is a rescue I was given when working at the humane shelter.. she is so scared of everything including her own shadow at times.. she is totally different with me though such a funny, quirky, wierd, loving ball of fur.. wouldn't give her up for the world...

Great content tho.

#9, Shiba’s will fight when they are afraid. I can’t say this enough, but even if there is no reason for resource guarding, it is still possible. It falls into the stubborn and protective trait as well. You may not know why they are doing it, but please get a trainer involved before it gets bad. My little girl decided to resource guard high reward things because the cats kind of taught her that with their food. In one month with the advice from the trainer, it’s almost nonexistent. No more nipping, she just uses body language to let us know. They are so so so smart.

I have a three year old male Sheba. I love him dearly but when he gets overstimulated he is very aggressive towards our other dog and sometimes anyone that’s in his way I guess unpredictable is the way I would describe him at times

Shiba Inu s are the best !!

Yes, my shiba inu likes to trick my other dog to give things up so she can have it.

He gets a reward for going out to do his biz so now he often pretends to need to go. 😂 Prince' has the same giggle ball! He loves to play catch with us.

Put the video on 1.25 you're welcome

Nice haha i also make shorts about my shiba inu 😆

Where do I get the dog sofa? 2:02

can you sit in a Café with a shiba staying calm and waiting under/next to table or will it try to protect you from staff?

🐶🐕🐺

Would you ever be comfortable sharing which breeder you go to, or making a video about how to choose a good shiba inu breeder?

How can avoid the crying when is a puppy ay night?

Does Jimmie do the famous ballet kick? Not sure why they do this, but it is funny.

Someone help us please. We got a shiba puppy 2 weeks ago and our life became a living endless nightmare since then.He chews and eats things that he is not supposed to (And it's literally impossible to redirect his attention, scold him or take whatever he's chewing away from him - he'll run away, bite you, destroy things faster just to irritate you and hunt down what you took away). He barks and screams REALLY loud and tirelessly whenever he is not alowed to do something that he wants, and sometimes we're just trying to protect him from himself (ex: swallowing pieces of his bed / trying to throw himself from our balcony). He gets really aggitated and starts running in circles like crazy for hours, bumping on everything and destroying everthing that's within his reach. We're almost being kicked out of our apartment, we're receiving several notifications from our neighboors because of his bad and uncontrollable behaviour. I was aware of their unique traits and this is not my first dog either. I just thought that it was manageable! This is my first time dealing with an almost 100% wild creature that doesn't want to be a pet. I would be really grateful if someone could shed a light on what to do, we just want him to be happy but he is too wild and aggressive.

Where can I find a puppy?

Doge! 😎👍

I also have carpet upstairs. Did Jimmy ever dig at the corners of base boards and or rip out the carpet fibers? Mine turned 1 yesterday, and he is still doing it.

I love my Shiba to death. Elliot is almost 5 now. They are very intelligent, loyal, & stubborn. I recently got a Pointer puppy and my Elliot has now started buddying up to my daughter as I am working with the pup. Elliot is disgusted with me right now, but he is good with the pup. Hope he forgives me soon. Shibas are the easiest dog on the planet to housde break. They have the best personality, this video is very accurate.

Man even Japanese dogs are clean wow Doge

Ooooo

Mine destroyed all i own unless i played with him during long walks. If i miss a playtime at the park he will scream at me by the door. By the time he was 1 though he acted like a baby and liked to cuddle

what about the female version

Im really close to getting a Shiba within the next few weeks. Can they be left alone during the workday?

My Shiba Inu spoons my fiancé every night and then sleeps between us under the covers with his head on our pillows or neck. He constantly wants attention.

They are quite mouthy and will chew many things, especially shoes, wallets, and woodedges of low tables. They have a large set of teeth and love to chew on things, at least my shiba does. Also, he loves to steal thing and play a chasing game. I can see the wheels turning in his mind at night, looking for things to pull off of counter just to getme to chase him. Nothing is off limits. If you have very nice wooden furniture, shiba might be a problem. I cannot say all shiba do this, but my hunch is many do.

Hi I’m looking for a Shiba Inu to adopt. My 16 year old son and I have been doing lots of research on the Japanese Shiba Inu and love the background, intelligence, quirkiness, loyal traits of this breed. Do you have any connections for a Shiba Inu

Hi, I work as a teacher, 7th to 9th grade in Switzerland. It is a part-time job. I’m allowed to take my dog into class. Do you think a shiba inu would be possible as a futre dog ? Thanks for replying, I love your videos!!!

My doggo is a pure screamer in the car! Everyone knows when he is arriving at park. He has a problem with his eyes running. I wash them but he has it everyday. Could this be from his head out window of car? I will not let him hang out the car window if we are going over 40mph. Any hints as to what could be?

Can anyone tell me if Hilltop Shiba inu is a good company?

I was crying while watching this video. Today my partner decided to sell our Shiba Inu puppy because of his mischievous behaviour. We have two puppies at home and my partner really loves the other one. It is too hard for us to raise two puppies together. Our Shiba came to us when he was 7 weeks old and now he's 5-month old. He used to bite things and humans but now he no longer bites. We do not know how to stop him from whining for no reason during the mid of the night. Now we had to send him away. I really love this puppy but I am not a good parent. So sorry and so sad.

That laying down on their back is called ‘roaching’. Like a cockroach. Greyhounds do it too,

Weirdo lol what made me laugh

Dogecoin!

Stubborn like me

Baby Space Floki is already 10X and it's only going to get better from here, since it's holding the floor. It's less than a month old so get in now! #bnb #bullish #xrp #btc #crypto #safemoon

Not so sure about the loyalty factor . my shiba will go with anyone for a walk and like all guests

Why does dog food cost more that meat balls?

where is my WIFE???????

have you ever met a black shiba?

Doge!

Bandit is my hero, but if you're waiting for some affection, just keep waiting. Lol
