Akita Inu - training

Training the Akita is a challenge because it is an assertive, stubborn dog that gets bored easily. He may use his intelligence in ways that suit his own personal goals, not necessarily those of his owner.

However, an owner who knows how to lead will be able to train the dog well with methods of giving praise and rewards. This breed should be treated with respect - certainly without teasing - but we must also demand that it return a respectful attitude, otherwise it will simply do what it wants. Usually the Akita Inu is a dog that is suitable for those who take a first dog.

Unlike other large breeds, the Akita Inu needs many hours of running to get its energy out. He enjoys long walks at a good pace and an occasional brisk run, especially in cold weather. The Akita loves cold very much.

Recognized behavior problems in the breed: Aggression towards humans if he has not undergone appropriate exposure Aggression towards animals Independent opinion, needs an owner who is able to control him Possessiveness towards food - children and animals must be kept away from Akita while feeding

It is very important to purchase a puppy from a reliable breeder who will help you find the right dog for you from the litter. You should work with a good trainer from a young age to prepare the dog for a good and correct life.

Exposure should allow the pup to meet friendly humans and know how they behave to reduce his fear of strangers. He will also recognize the difference with a person who is behaving abnormally. Without adequate exposure, they may behave suspiciously towards everyone.

Akita may show aggression towards other dogs of the same sex and for this reason two males or two females should not be left together without supervision. The problem is that sometimes it is difficult to understand what the dog is planning to do - often he does not "take a pose" that indicates he is going to behave in a certain way - on the contrary, an Akita can live quietly and peacefully with another dog until suddenly, for no apparent reason, a small dispute arises or the other dog pushes the Akita beyond what he is willing to tolerate or approaches the food bowl or his favorite toy, and then the dogs may attack each other. Akitas tend to be very possessive of their food and children and other pets should be kept away from them when they are eating.
