What owning a Shiba says about you?
With his marked stubborn streak and mischievous sense of humor, the Shiba Inu does best with owners who are firm, confident, and utterly consistent. Shibas are possessive of their toys and food; it is said that if they could utter one word, it would be “Mine!” A Shiba Inu may be right for you.
How do you get a Shiba to like you?
I frequently press cheese bits onto my dog’s chew toys, which entices him to work on them with even more gusto!
