決める前に知っておくこと

Important behavioral traits that potential owners should understand:

ChallengeThe 'Shiba Halt'

Extreme stubbornness. If a Shiba doesn't want to walk, it will plant its feet and refuse to move. This is not a training failure - it's a personality trait.

CriticalHandling Intolerance

Unlike Golden Retrievers that tolerate hugs, Shibas have strict bodily autonomy boundaries. They may snap or scream if touched in a way they dislike - risky for families with toddlers.

CriticalSame-Sex Aggression

Highly common for Shibas to develop aggression toward dogs of the same sex, typically emerging at 18-24 months. Dog parks become impossible.

CriticalZero Recall

You can almost NEVER trust a Shiba off-leash. Their prey drive and independence override training. If they see a squirrel or decide to explore, they're gone.
