To read and consider before completing the form:

If you're thinking of owning a Shiba Inu puppy, know that you play a leading role in his life. Several aspects need to be considered before welcoming a dog into your home.

Do you have time to take care of a dog?

This question requires a lot of thought. Ensuring the well-being and safety of a dog takes time.

Education

A puppy needs to be educated especially regarding cleanliness or walking on a leash or so that it does not jump on people. Education is essential so your dog does not develop behavioral problems. A dog must learn to behave in public!

So patience is in order. The cohabitation with your dog will then be more pleasant.

Exercise and interaction

Dogs need to exercise. They also need to play. Your presence is required! Are you often absent? Do you travel frequently? A dog needs contact with his owners. It is a social animal and for them interaction is absolutely necessary.
