Shiba Inu

Considered almost cat-like in mannerism, it is an independent thinker and will not do what you want it to, just like a cat. However, they are easy to house-train and must be taught how to behave with strangers and other dogs. They are dog-aggressive especially male-to-male. They are a Japanese hunting breed and love the chase, so best kept on a leash when outdoors. They are good family pets, and are great with kids, provided the kids treat them well. But first-time owners will find them challenging to train. They are bold, stubborn, and independent thinkers. But properly trained, they make excellent and loyal companions. They need space as they are very active. A home with a fenced lawn is best for this dog.
