Is a Shiba Inu easy to raise?
part1：先来说说看优点
(1) Shiba Inu loves to be clean, not dirty
Shiba Inu is one of the few dogs that will lick their own hair and clean, and it is a little clean, other dogs jump into the puddle when they see it, it won't, it will even avoid it, or let you hold it over, which is really fragrant, and you don't have to worry about bathing at all.
(2) The body shape is suitable, and the requirements for the feeding space are not large
The size of the Shiba Inu is just right, not too big, not too small, there is also a sense of presence when you pick it up, walking on the road, you are not worried about scaring people, and even very popular, this is my obvious feeling since I raised a dog for five years, my friend's big golden retriever has a very good personality, but there will still be people who will be afraid when they go out.
(3) It's quite quiet, and doesn't like to scream
Shiba Inu is still quite quiet, keep it at home, don't worry about noisy, if the neighbor hadn't seen me walking the dog, he wouldn't know that I had a dog, of course, if someone sneaked around at the door, it would bark!
(4) Special beauty is not necessary
Shiba Inu is a short-haired dog, and it is not like Teddy, Bichon and other dogs that need to be styled to maintain their appearance, so the grooming cost is saved, and you can comb your hair every day.
(5) Independent personality, not easy to be anxious
Shiba Inu is actually very independent, they don't have separation anxiety, even if they stay by themselves, they can entertain themselves, sleep or play with toys, in short, they won't let you worry.
Part 2: Let's talk about the disadvantages again
(1) Shiba Inu is really stubborn
It is said that Shiba Inu is stubborn, this really does not wronged it, if you are hard with it, it will directly use its face to tug of war with you, so if you raise Shiba Inu, your patience must be enough, otherwise you may really be angry with it.
Raising a Shiba Inu for five years, I found that this product must be trained more, it requires some skill and patience, it is best to focus on rewards, don't always beat it violently, it will do the opposite with you, when it does well, you must reward snacks in time, so that it can deepen the impression!
(2) Shedding is really much
Although it is said that it is a lot of hair loss during the moulting season, in fact, it usually falls a lot, not the most, only more, and it needs to be cleaned every day, and it needs to be combed all over the body.
If you want Shiba Inu to shed less hair, you must not feed too salty food, before it was fed for a period of time, the hair loss became significantly more, and then after adjusting the diet structure, it lost a lot less, and the staple food dog food is also selected to contain fish oil, which can toughen the hair.
(3) Shiba Inu is more irritable when he sees his kind
It's a male Shiba Inu, before being neutered, the sense of territory is very strong, and when you see the same kind, you have to fight, and you can't pull it at all, but after the neutering, obviously the character is much better, and you don't love to fight so much, and it also makes people worry a lot, in general, Shiba Inu is still a dog worth raising.
