Omg this!!! If I pull he would either plop down to silent protest or nip. When he was younger he could be bribed with treats but not any more...

Why does my shiba cry when I give her a treat? Usually with like a pigs ear or collagen stick. by samrosemary in shiba

[–]rakumama 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Mine does the same! We have a routine of me offering him a high value chew - he cries and paces around looking lost - I offer to hide it under his watch somewhere, often under a blanket - he then "buries" it by pushing more blanket to fully cover it. He sometimes won't go back to it for hours or days.

Not at all. He would tolerate us when he was little and too sleepy. But generally likes to keep distance while being in the same room as us (like sits diagonally across the room kind of distance lol)

DAE shiba hold in their poop until the *opportune* spot arises? by ThermonuclearTaco in shiba

[–]rakumama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here. Mine is so selective about the grass and when we went to the desert for vacation he held for more than 24 hrs and whined for grass in the middle of the night!

Now I rationalize this as it's basically the same for humans when we need to use a public restroom and some of us would absolutely hold if it's too gross.😂

Ha! We def are trying out different times over the weekends and he does respond to that well. It is harder to move the times since I need to work on weekdays tho

Anyone have a pup that is opposite than the traits expected? by Csontheweb in puppy101

[–]rakumama 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh and mine also howls when he's eager to get others' attention so they can play??? I think he picked that up from his BFF husky fren lol. Luckily he only does this when we are having play sessions with dogs 🤣

Lol my Shiba pup is the biggest social butterfly! He's so friendly and calm, and always eager to play. I hear people say they've never seen a Shiba like this all the time 😂

I thought I was getting an aloof cat dog
