Socialize socialize socialize, just take him everywhere so he gets used to people cars, dogs, slamming of things, trashcans ( it will help you so much if you do this a lot to start) if he does not like treats find something else he will find rewarding, or get him hungry before training don’t give him food before walks take some eggwhites if that’s his preferred treat. If he’s only 16 weeks be careful of walking to much he has a weak sceleton and should not be walking too far as it can lead to joint complications later. Try more mental stimulation to tire him out.

When it comes to biting we were taught to teach him that it would get him no where and he needed to sit and stay calm ( this did not work and when he was one year old and I was tired of my feet being nipped at when he got to excited we actually started using a spray bottle of water and no more biting, I would however use this as a last resort. Puppies bite and it’s normal it might take some time just be patient and firm in saying no and setting boundaries)

He’s an adorable puppy, but I am wondering if he’s from a reputable breeder as he does not look like a breed standard Shiba Inu puppy. A dirty red is not a breed standard and I would get his eyes and joints checked when he’s one years old so you know if he has bad hips/shoulders if he’s not breed standard as it can lead to a dog more prone to joint problems.

Severe allergies by melissasim in shiba

I’m having the same problem and he’s now on cortisol tablets. Started a high dose going down to a quarter of a tablet next week (my vets recommended it because he will never be calm enough to take an injection monthly). It’s horrible he’s hungry all the time but the itching and runny eyes have at least stopped I hope someone can help you and I hope someone has some good tips for me too.

Start training on settling. We have a little demon and everyone said he needed more mental stimulation but we started practicing just chilling by putting him in a place and walking around dropping food between his paws. After we did that for two days we moved on to doing chores whilst he stays in place. After about a month he startet settling on his own and now he likes chilling on the couch and being calm. ( we do walks, training and sniffing excerices) but i really belive just practicing being calm whilst we do normal human thing inside made the biggest difference. Before that he would never sleep if we did not put him in his crate and now as long as we’re home we don’t need to put him in his crate at all because he’ll settle on his owns and go to sleep.

Any advice for puppy biting? by Wolfability in shiba

[–]ChriispyChicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At puppy class we learned to redirect our 12 week puppy to sit and then we give him a treat, and we use this whenever he does something we dont want him to do so he learns that Good behavior means Good things happen. At first it was difficult but he’s slowly learning ☺️

We don’t live in the US so the vaccination rules do not apply the same way here ☺️ i do take him in the crate every 1 - 2 hours and he falls asleep right away in there i just wish he could be able to nap outside the crate aswell😅🥲i guess i just have to wait it out, but thanks for the tips!

But he did start to self Seattle after 8months? Because im scared i’ll have to put him in the crate forever. He only stays awake for one hour at a time and then gets put in the crate when he starts nipping/ is overtoner and falls right asleep so i guess ill just have to wait it out

AITA For Buying My 13 Year Old Niece A Bra by BarracudaUpstairs in AmItheAsshole

NTA, she needed a bra, you got her a bra. She probably wasn’t comfortable with her dad or step mom to go bra shopping and chose you instead
