"As a breed they are powerful, agile, clever, love your food better than theirs, have incredible hearing, sight and sense of smell, and are really, really fast. They love to be in your face when you do stuff. They have a terrible "Shiba Scream" when they are not getting their way, but will respond to patient, consistent, firm, loving training. Some of that screaming can be worked out with the early leash training.
A Shiba will insinuate itself into the fabric of your life. They have protected me from a threatening stranger. They tell me when someone approaches and when the mailman and UPS truck come. They share sun with the cats or chase them, whatever the situation calls for. One cherishes the stuffed toys we buy him, the others tear the stuffing out immediately. They steal from each other and us. They will slip into your chair in the blink of an eye.
These dogs learn fast. They will learn lots of stuff, even things you don't want them too. They are also preoccupied with with all of their environment and sometimes choose not to hear you, having more interesting things to pay attention to."
