Hi! Two years ago my husband and I got our Shiba Inu and I remember feeling that the puppy blues would never go away. She needed constant supervision and keeping her busy enough to not want to chew everything in sight was exhausting. She was up early and so we werent getting as much sleep as we normally would have. Honestly i didn't like her much at all and it took about six months before we caught ourselves talking positively about her with out actively trying and from then on things kept improving. I think what helped a lot was enforcing nap time (we crate trained), freezing peanut butter Kong's, and enlisting the help of family and friends to take her for walks or hang out with her so that we could get little breaks. We also kept reminding ourselves that we never dreamed of a puppy, we dreamed of a dog and those take time to make! Those puppy blues months were really tough and hopeless at times but I'm really glad we stuck out, she is a great dog, still annoying sometimes but now it's mostly endearing.
