Title: Puppy!!!
Post by: Madrun Badrun on June 12, 2010, 01:10:16 AM: Nami was rather unhappy when we first meet her but after five mins in the car with me she fell a sleep in my arms for the next hour. She hates her leash. Today was the first day she has ever had a collar and leash on :-\ She follows me every where I go. :heart

She shat massive diarrhoea on the carpet :-X We played a bit outside. She saw her reflection in the mirror and growled at it. She can go up the stairs but is scared going down.

She is currently sleeping cuddled next to me like so

That's amazing! Usually if you coax them to go back to sleep, they'll stay asleep until you get up. Being in the bedroom for our dogs means naptime/bedtime, so that's where I leave them during the day while we're at work too. We have a kennel in there and their bean bag chair. Then when we get home and let them in the living room, that's playtime. Now they go to sleep as soon as they go in the bedroom and stay asleep the whole time they're in there.

Also, when you take her outside, make sure the #1 priority is potty, then if you have time, take a walk or let her play. As soon as we go out, I'm out there like a lunatic, "Go potty guys, go potty!" and if they start getting distracted, I tug their leash and say, "Potty!" If we're getting ready for work and don't have time to play, I praise them for going potty while we walk back inside and they don't seem to mind. Otherwise, they'll end up like our friend's shiba who goes on poop-strikes until you take him for a 2 hour walk, and if you don't take him on a long enough walk, he'll hold it and go when he gets in the house, just to spite you. :lol Little asshole

And make sure you get a no-slip collar and/or no-slip harness, which tighten up when you tug their leash. Because when she starts getting bigger, she will get out of the collar otherwise. Best investment ever (in these two colors too):

Good tips especially the bathroom time one.

Can I give treats to a puppy? When will she start learning commands and keywords? How long does it take a puppy to start responding to her name?
Title: Re: Puppy!!!
Post by: lennedsay on June 14, 2010, 09:41:18 PM: You can try treats, but a lot of shibas I know have a hard time digesting their own food, much less human food and new foods. I always used their own food when training. It took us 3 years of trying various (and expensive) organic dog foods with fairly regular 'rhea until I gave up and started feeding them Iams for sensitive stomachs. The only bathroom problems they've had in the last year were due to people feeding them table scraps or too many treats. So anytime you introduce a new dog food or any types of treats, do so gradually over the course of several days to a week. Or else :poop

She has the capability to start learning her name (and tricks) now, but depending on how you train and her personality, who knows. You're lucky if you can get most shibas to sit, but they have the intelligence to learn hundreds of tricks. A lot of repeating the command and a lot of praise. I use a special hand signal and verbal command for each trick so usually they'll start to respond to one or the other. Personality plays so much into what tricks they do. Our female loves doing tricks and making us happy, so with time, I could teach her anything. Kobe, on the other hand, is pretty stubborn and will only do a few tricks, but he does them pretty well. The other shiba I talked about earlier that goes in the poop-strikes, it took me forever to teach him to sit and I never could teach him to high five or anything. Sooooo stubborn but so loving and cute (he also does the somewhat rare Shiba Smile where he pulls his ears back, squints his eyes and smiles when you come home :heartbeat ).

Kobe can sit, high five, platz (lay down), crawl, be friends (handshake), fetch, whisper and speak (with a ton of coaxing because he hates speaking). Meiko can do all the same except she'd rather just high five over be friends. She can also sit pretty (butt on the ground, paws in the air), up up (stand on back legs), dance (jump and spin on back legs), roll over, yum yum (lick lips twice), peek-a-boo (covers her eyes while she's laying on her back), yuppy puppy (google Yuppy Puppy, we bought one for her and she will high five the lever for food, but she'll do it on her own even when it's empty when her or Kobe need something). The dog I told you about that's walking across the US and back, Emmie, will sit and only rarely give her paw. lol So it really just depends on the dog, but if you work with her now, she'll enjoy the praise and making you happy, and will be far more willing to do tricks.

Edit: And Kobe just learned peek-a-boo in the last 5 minutes. :heartbeat :uguu

lennedsay what kind of brush do you use to groom yours?
Title: Re: Puppy!!!
Post by: lennedsay on June 15, 2010, 06:53:53 PM: Our female is like that too. Any loud noise, her tail is tucked and she's hiding somewhere.

We use the Furminator. It was developed by some lady here in St Louis, but any Petco/Petsmart should carry them now. You can find them on Amazon cheaper though. I also use one of those hoop things too sometimes. They look scary but they work and don't hurt them.
