This is typical of the dog’s personality and makes having guests over a bit difficult. Quite literally, the Shiba Inu likes to put its mouth on things, particularly its owner’s. This breed is well known for getting a taste of its surroundings. These dogs are also tolerant of heat and cold, with their puffy coats acting like a natural insulation for temperature extremes. Puppies are an entirely different matter. We’re talking about adult Shiba Inu dogs. They’re not likely to get into any more bad behavior than they would with their owners around, and are ideal for people who are not home for large portions of the day. The Shiba Inu’s independent personality makes it tolerant of spending prolonged periods of time alone, so they may be a good choice for those who work long hours. Some barking can be minimized through early and ongoing training. It’s best to be prepared for this alert yapping when getting this dog. Giving the dog more things to bark at will stress it out as well as everyone nearby. However, with their tendency to vocalize, they may not be the best choice for those living in high population density areas. The Shiba Inu’s small size and reserved personality may be suitable for apartment living. Shibas can tolerate other pets through early socialization and training though it’s not an easy task. Smaller pets are often looked at as prey, and with the breed’s mouthy personality, they are put in danger as well. They are particularly unfriendly with other dogs and are notoriously not well suited living with them. The Shiba Inu is also not very fond of sharing the home with other pets. These dogs should always have a solid enclosure when outside and owners recommend using a leash when walking them. These dogs usually regard strangers as threats, as they are infamously territorial. They prefer to be with their own owners, and even then they are independent, and don’t mind being alone. The Shiba Inu is also NOT a very hospitable breed. They may be just a bit too much for toddlers, but may do well with older, respectful children.
The Shiba is not recommended for families with very small children.
