How Do You Care For A Shiba Inu?
Shiba Inus are the smallest of the Japanese dog breeds. They are reddish-orange and look like red foxes. They are very loving and actually act more like cats than dogs. When you adopt a Shiba Inu, you have to understand how to properly care for it. Leash train your Shiba early. Since Shibas were originally bred to be hunting dogs, they still have the instinct to go after small animals. If you’re out walking your Shiba and he sees a cat, he’s likely to dart after it and if he’s not on a leash, he can easily get hit by a car because the driver can’t see him due to his small size. Provide plenty of activities for the dog. To care for a Shiba, you must keep him mentally stimulated. Shibas like to run and play with other animals as well as humans. Install a 6-foot fence to contain your Shiba when he goes outside. These dogs can jump very high, considering their small stature, and some can even climb. This is especially important if you have an intact male. Give your Shiba Inu plenty to chew
