I've learned that training your puppy as early as possible increases your success of compliance and obedience. Because Shiba Inus and Huskies are known for their stubbornness and willingness to comply only on their terms, we started training Pepper as soon as we got her... and with many hot dogs.
We picked her up when she was 6 weeks old and immediately started to work on her recognizing her own name. A week later and she had already mastered "sit" and "paw." We didn't want to use the word "shake;" she actually shakes (her whole body) when we use that command.
Here's a video of her doing tricks to get her pet bed:
A blog about a pet dog: the search ultimately leading to raising Pepper, a Shiba Inu/Siberian Husky mix, and everyday life after adoption. Follow me as I discover more interesting things about the Shiba Inu breed (and dogs in general) and how love and companionship can come from a 23 lb. canine friend with a lot of personality. I will include cute/fun pictures and videos, along with their stories, and sporadic tips/advice for a better understanding of life with a Shiba Inu/Siberian Husky hybrid.
