Shiba Diary – Sirius Puppy Class
Shiba Inu Diary – Sephy’s exciting first day at puppy class. There were some fun puppies around that Sephy really enjoyed roughhousing with, but best of all there was another Shiba Inu pup!

Dog Aggression – What Does it Mean?
Dog aggression may mean different things to different people. For some, a jumping dog is aggressive; for others, a dog causing puncture wounds just “does not know his own strength”. Dog aggression is also extremely dependent on context and on the energy of the surrounding people. Here we consider what dog aggression truly means.
Thief Shiba, We Hates It, We Hates It Forever!
Shiba Inus are bred to hunt and they love chasing games. It doesn’t take too long for a Shiba to learn that stealing a toy and running away with it will usually start a fun chase around the house, or in the park and beach. The chase game rewards a Shiba’s thieving behavior which causes him to continue stealing. Here we consider how to stop a thief Shiba and turn him into a good citizen (well maybe not good but not-so-bad citizen).
Embarrassed by My Dog
When I got my first dog, I was constantly embarrassed by him. He was very hyper and very stubborn, so training him was a challenge. Whenever he misbehaved in public, I would get embarrassed because his bad behavior reflected poorly on me and my dog parenting skills. The more embarrassed I got, the more crazy my dog became.
