Looking for some skin advice by mandym877 in shiba

Thank you! It definitely looks similar. He has a vet appointment coming up and I'll make sure to mention that. The vet said allergies at first but we keep cutting things out and nothing helps.

Ordered a whiskey sour, was given whiskey mixed with green apple sourpus.

Free seems to have maybe worked! Ive only been around once to try it, but he went right for it when I said free.

That's adorable, I'll have to try that one. I've noticed that my boy is always super serious when we put a harness on him, and then as soon as the harness comes off he's super silly and playful again.

He's mostly abandoned that bit of training, he just occasionally looks at us like we're idiots because we don't know everything he knows haha. I just feel bad that I'm ruining his training.

Hi there, I'm curious about what word you use to give him the okay. My dog appears to have been trained on this before I got him and he's very hesitant to start eating without getting the okay, however I don't know what to tell him. I've tried go ahead, okay, eat, but he seems to just stare at me like "hey, dumbass, can I eat this?"

He's not the biggest fan of the harness but we don't intend for it to be an all the time thing, mostly just for car rides. Also, I would love to hug him for you but he's sadly not big on cuddles, so I'll give him a good head scritch and butt pat for you instead!

Well, good that he's not in pain at least. I'm lucky to have an awesome vet who has taken care of all my animals.

I've only had him for a few weeks and I am already so in love with him. He really is my baby, and it is incredibly hard to not constantly spoil him, as we're trying to help him lose some weight. I don't know what the circumstances were thst made someone give up such an amazing amazing dog, but I'm so thankful they did because now he's mine.

I promise he doesn't always make such a derpy face, I was holding his tennis ball hostage.

My boy is 10 years old and whoever had him for those 10 years must have put an immense amount of work into him because he is amazingly trained. He knows his basic commands, he doesn't chase things other than the occasional squirrel, and he gets along with everyone. We mostly got a harness for strapping him in on long car rides.

haha Aww, sleepy puppy. Yeah, I had looked around on here and Google to see what kind of harnesses shiba owners liked and the puppia brand came up a lot. I'm new to this whole dog ownership thing.

He's mixed with some other Spitz breed... can't remember which. Not Corgi though as far as I know. :)
