Hmmm interesting. I’ll post on the fb page too.

in Prevalence of Epilepsy in Shikokus? Comment by Shibafox December 2018

She’s finally learning and almost never doing this now thankfully! The stop like a tree, then waiting till she calms, make her sit then stay there for a long time until that phase has passed and then move on has worked. Thanks for everyone’s help!

in Anyone have experience with jumping and mouthing? Comment by Shibafox November 2018

Well I’ve started petting her more on the walks and that stops her from jumping after petting but she still does it after training and when bored. I’ve been trying to train more during walking to get her over the excitement of it and ive been trying…

I’ll try and see how it goes. She started doing it again today. The treats seem to make her even more hyper though :/. But I’ll keep at it and see if it changes eventually... Thanks everyone!

Kaiya is about 1.5 years now. We do let her on rocks and in sand pits too. She just seems to go from 1 to 100. Sometimes she’s ok and goes crazy on her own while on walks. Sometimes If I engage with her outside she’s fine but other times even just…

Thanks. Yes, I’ve tried to add in some training which helps but right after, she goes right back to it. I did use to bring a toy and occupy her as a pup, until which, I hoped she’d grew out of it but I’m afraid that it will or may have encouraged he…

I guess for me, we researched a lot but didn’t think the dog reactivity was soooo difficult to overcome, as well as the mouthiness and just how much boundless energy they have. I thought I was an active individual but apparently I need to be going…

in How much does your Shikoku weigh? Comment by Shibafox May 2018

The vid is what I've been doing with the tapping...the main difference though is that I'm left to do it by myself...another person restraining and giving treats would definitely help.., not sure if I should try it with a lead attached so she can't j…

in Nail trimmings... Comment by Shibafox August 2017

I'm not sure. She's at home with my dad when I am at work. He didn't mention anything but I'm not sure what could have happened :(. Thanks for the link, I'll check it out.

in Nail trimmings... Comment by Shibafox August 2017

Thanks! I'm not sure if I'll try the dremel route but I'll definitely consider it if we don't make any progress. She's generally ok with handling I'm not sure what the trigger is but there are times where she doesn't mind when I handle her feet, toe…

in Nail trimmings... Comment by Shibafox August 2017

I was hoping to get more insight from owners but perhaps the lack of responses means that they are in agreement with you. Back to de-sensitization and baby steps. I just want to make sure she doesn't become a problem dog when she is full grown with …

in What did your shikoku weigh at 3 months? Comment by Shibafox July 2017

Hahaha what a consensus about normal Shikoku behaviour! It sounds like the time outs and making her sit or something is the way to go. I will keep trying and see if it will help. She's also afraid of the hair dryer and I'm not sure how to get her u…
