Meet Bosco the shiba! We have been wanting a pup for a long time (especially me) and we finally got one. Shibas are really smart, but also a lot of work. We take him outside about 6 times a day minimum for potty training, and are also trying to socialize him A LOT when he's young. He's 3.5 months old, and we got him at 3 months. We are really happy about the new addition, and hope he takes to his training well. After two weeks he knows sit (100% if you have food) come (50 % of the time) and heel (er....let's say 50% on this one too, Bret has better luck than I do). I think he knows his name too, but if he's in the Shiba zone and distracted, there's not much you can do. I want to buy a clicker and try that out since he responds really well to claps and snaps. If he's meeting a new person, he gets really excited and sometimes a little nippy, but clapping works well to distract him and get him settled down. Bret's taking him to puppy school next week, so hopefully that is good too!
