I appreciate your advice & taking the time to answer. I am NOT letting her try rawhides or bully bones. I bought her 2 kong toys. She loves them w/ the treats...
Hi Donna, Jindolyi did this to me the first day I had him (2 months old). I started taking the dish away then hand feeding him then putting it back down so he...
Hi Lola, Timberwolf Organics (http://timberwolforganics.com/) has a good line of food. I've had Jindolyi on the Wild & Natural Dry Canid Formula since he was...
Donna- If in fact your Cayenne is becoming aggressive toward food and toys- and is guarding those things- than it would help to call in an expert on...
I am noticing more and more Shiba's popping up on Craigslist because people are getting them on a whim and can't handle them. It is very sad! I have been...
I ran across a large number around the age of 2 when I was searching for information on aging. Looks like there are a couple of ages when it's most...
Those are great ideas!! I wish that there were more responsible breeders out there versus the ones that are looking to make a buck! I am sure that...
I take owner surrenders. I figure that is better than the dog turning up in a kill pound somewhere. I would have to go there and get it anyways. But I am in an...

just go to www.craigslist.com and search for "shiba". Unfortunately, you have to search community by community as far as I've been able to tell but I...
What area are you in? I can e-mail you the information for the one I found. He is a 4 month old puppy and the owner supposedly bought him from a...
Hi Donna, You are definitely doing the right thing in starting to deal with the issue early. I agree with the earlier posts, it is best to get some ...
Oh my goodness, your Shiba is SO HANDSOME!! Out of curiosity, why do you suppose Shiba's are so consistently characterized as being aggressive in the US?...
My Shiba spent her first 3 years on a farm. I think that was an easier place for her to learn what was appropriate aggression v. inappropriate aggression...
Yeah, when my puppy was 4 months old I had him in the small dog area and a guy yelled at me to take my dog out of the small dog area at a dog park. "You should...
I have a 7 month old male Shiba. I've had the basic puppy problems that everyone goes through. But what are the classic problems that Shibas present that other...
I can only compare to a Lab which, best I can tell, is the opposite end of the training scale. My girl's mellow - as long as she gets her way! Independent,...

Haha, Jindolyi's gentle and respectful disposition is not as evident in his interaction with other dogs! He's *respectful* with other dogs but still a tough...
Wow! Mouthy games! What type of games did you play- and what did you do if he bit down too hard? Just asking- It's been my understanding that depending...
I saw Yogi in everyone of those! Though Yogi was never a mouther- that would mean actually interacting with me! He is a landshark though- doesn't take...
Hm, I think Jindolyi is maybe just naturally more touchy than other Shibas. He's usually fine with being handled and loves having his face and ears petted....
Wow, I'd forgotten the mouthy games. Lab pups are always mouthy and trainers discourage encouraging it; has to do with them getting too mouthy...
Yay, soft-mouth, I totally agree with you. I did a lot of bite inhibition exercises with my Shiba too when he was a puppy. I mostly followed techniques from...
