#13 A puppy’s passivity is the first sign of illness. Shiba needs a lot of activity.
Train yourself to walk a lot with the dog, do not leave alone for a long time. Buy Shiba personal toys and a long leash with a padded collar.
#14 Because of the hunting instincts, the development of the Shiba Inu’s patient behavior towards other animals becomes the most difficult task.
#15 Do not expect Shiba to play with cats, the maximum you can count on is restraint or ignorance.
A Shiba Inu can get used to playing and communicating openly with its breed, but attitudes towards dogs of a different breed, especially smaller ones, can remain indifferent or tense.
