The Shiba is a “popular breed” because they are lovely pets. Duh!
They are intelligent, loyal, sensitive, escape artists, stubborn, and everything else. I would never let my Shiba, the Great Gatsby, listen to such fictitious, hurtful BS. 😵‍💫
It would be more realistic to say that Shibas grow horns and make your furniture a cesspit for skin-destroying fungi that recite poetry. Give me strength.
How did this end up in my feed? It's meant to be a joke, right?

‘Nuff said. Oh, for the record, Inu is the Japanese word for dog. So, “5 Reasons Not to Get a Shiba Inu Dog” effectively says “5 Reasons Not to Get a Shiba Dog Dog.”
Social media can be a real pain in the ass.

My shiba is 11 yrs old, I’ve had her since she was 12 WEEKS old. She’s definitely stubborn and hard to train because they want to do what they want. However she’s always been very obedient and well mannered. They’re loyal and people pleasers. Yes she always has to be on the leash but she’s never been one to break loose from the yard. I love her and will always have shibas from now on

My daughter has a Shiba Inu.
Her Shiba actually turned me into a dog lover. I never cared for them until this dog. He’s 10 months old now and the smartest most obedient animal I have ever seen. Very lovable too. Our whole family is in awe of this dog. For his age to be so smart with such a personality! My daughter has socialized him with other dogs and people. That is the main thing you need to work on with your training with this breed. Love him!❤

Shiba: "hyper intelligent, stubborn, escape artist"
Siberian Husky: "hold my paw!"

I guess my shiba is weird. She lives with another cat and shares food and toys, does that too with other dogs at home when they come. She is easy to handle, goes without a leash, behaves very well in restaurants and bars. I've never had a dog before and this one won me all over for her gratitude and love :) To me these are the reasons to get a shiba inu :)

My shiba Inu came from a Amish family that left it outside in a cage with his siblings and mom for most of its 8 week life. He didn’t know how to react to the toys we got him, but after patience and lots of playtime outside. He is the best decision I have ever made.

My shiba inu is my 5th dog (not counting foster dogs I kept while volunteering in rescue centres). She is the most free spirited, primal, strong willed soul I've come across. It took us a while to bond and build trust, but now she's incredibly bonded to me, cooperative, loyal, sweet hearted. Really smart girl who helped me question myself. Shibas are only for families which will invest the time to socialize, exercise and educate them in a cooperative way. They become great life companions with that dedication.

Shiba has been a great choice for us. Smart, obedient, loyal and super friendly. We trained her well. She follows us everywhere. No leash is no problem. She loves other animals especially other shibas. She loves all the family, no particular person. Very tame and very social when we go out. Attention and training are key. Love is paramount.

Shiba make the saddest rescue cases because they are still attached to their original owner. Based on the amount of ppl who have "returned" their rescues during covid, I would say that it's safer to start with "reasons not to get a Shiba" especially ppl who are fickle. (Many exist.)

I’m first time dog owner and shiba owner.Our shiba is great we don’t know the difference.Shiba has been a great choice for us

I've had my Shiba for about 6 months now (he's about 10 months old), and so much "don't get a Shiba" videos are so exaggerated. I did a lot of research before and after getting him, and these videos caused me to be concerned for no reason at all.

He's been very easy to train, loving, and well behaved. They aren't any harder to train or deal with than other dogs I've had. I feel like a lot of these "Shiba are so difficult and stubborn" videos are just to make them seem inaccessible and mysterious for some reason. They're just dogs. They're great

[switchbladekid]

They're escape artists, all right. Mine, once slit a second-story window screen, hugged the side of the building and slid to the ground before taking himself for a walk.

I have a shiba inu, and yes the things you listed are right! He escaped his cage more than 4 times and he is an definetly super smart dog! But i promise you that shiba inus are not the naughty and aggresive as you think..They are super loyal and they r definetly worth it..and yes shibas might not engage with thier owners alot and act like they dont care about you...but if u actually need help they will always be there for u❤

[deanguinn]

as someone who has had 5 shiba's, this video hit the mark.
true story: my fuji (now passed) tricked me out of my dinner twice. i live alone and eat on the couch in front of the tv. he went to the kitchen door way acting like he wanted out, so i sat my plate down and went and opened the door for him when i turned around he was enjoying my dinner, the second time i had forgotten the door was already open and again he was eating my dinner.. 3rd time he tried it i took my plate with me... you could latterly see the expression on his face "damn it, the human figured it out" he never tried that trick on me again. boy do i miss that little shit.
my newest shiba sam... at 6 weeks old when we first brought him home, we were out in the yard with him and he caught a mouse before we even noticed there was one. i lost track of how many he has gotten since then. so yeah good hunters.

If I become a Shiba Inu millionaire I'm getting one. 🥰

I'm glad to see a video like this, especially if it helps inform people that get a dog purely on its looks. I have an 11yr old shiba (got her before it was cool haha) after trawling through hundreds of dog breeds in books and online, joining a group of people who owned Shibas and dog-sitting. She was also my first dog, and while I was 100% aware they were not considered first time dogs I met a puppy and fell in love.

Her goofiness and sass make me laugh, and most of the time she is obedient, never throws tantrums or screams when I have to do things she doesn't like i.e baths and nail-clipping. She's also been an excellent travel buddy, taking public transport and exploring cities and forests alike, and is polite to all the humans she meets, big and small.

It's not all roses; Her prey drive is incredible there never off-leash, and taking her to the dog park is now a no-no when it's not empty. There are times when I feel I've failed her, even after all the socialization in her past that she behaves like a dishonored samurai when meeting strange dogs. But she still seems happy and content, so I try not to let it get to me. She has a couple of dog friends at least, I hope when things calm down we can meet them again!

My shiba is 2 years old and we’ve had her since she was 2 months old… she was beyond easy to train.. we create trained her… potty trained her and all that. It’s not the dog it’s the owner… she has been a dream. No attitude no stubbornness… only chews on her bones and toys. We live in an apartment and she is in her element.

[emilyh.]

Our first dog ended up being a shiba inu despite warnings about their personalities, however, even thought we’re not expert trainers or very knowledgeable, our shiba has been nothing but a blessing. My shiba is 5 now and he communicates with us in very effective ways. He tries to be manipulative in a cute and stubborn way but his love and loyalty always trump those mischievous tendencies. I love my dog and hope everyone who has a shiba experience what we have.

My uncle is on his 3rd Cream Shiba.. absolutely wonderful dogs. If I were to ever get a pup, I would choose a Shiba with ease. Fun little characters and very intelligent, just don’t let them find out they can outsmart you!

[shenmoney]

My Shiba Inu was a total blast to train. From Pit Bulls to a Shiba Inu, it was a no-brainer for me and my family.
