I have a 9 month old japanese spitz. He’s very easy to over stimulate, and he struggles with being bored/rest. But he’s very kind good dog. He was horrible biter till he was 4 months old. I found that very challenging. This last month he’s been teenager. Looking forward to him growing up. We use a harness, and I’ll verbally cue him if swapping directions. Has worked well for is. Though he can have a mind of his own sometimes where I have to give him a min. Good first timer dog as he’s been relatively easy. Puppies are horrible and hard, but all things considered, it could be much worse.
Ah! This is brillant information! Thanks! Would love to see some more sit down videos with the Japanese Spitz topic, so little on youtube about the breed.
Thank you so much! Yeah when we were looking to buy our Japanese Spitz I was searching a lot on RU-vid for videos like that but couldn't find much, that's why I thought it would be a good idea to make one with the information I wish I had gotten back then. 😊🐶💗
Thank you so so much for the video and invaluable info!! I’d love to see your journey with your little pup as she grows and develops more of her personality 😍 pls keep making vids sorta like this
The fact you can hold her without getting bitten to shreds makes me jealous lol. I couldn’t touch him without him being a total landshark. Could lift him places, but no pets allowed.
Aw💓they are all so different. I hope it is better with you both now ☺️. Tera is a very gentle girl, I have to tell her to pull when we play tug of war because she just hold on to toys so weak and waits 😆.
@@TeratheSpitz he’s much better now at 9 months old. Biting started subsiding at 4 months old. Before that was hell. Does wake me up far too early though! Hope he’ll let me sleep more soon :)
@@mirawenya That's good☺️ Yeah they do bite a lot in the beginning. But growing and changing teeth does itch haha. All dog's bladders can be held for different amounts of time if course just like people. But something we do to help Tera is to take her out for a quick pee just minutes before we go to bed. 💗
@@TeratheSpitz oh it’s not cause he has to pee. He’s just awake and all over my bf (which despite me doing all the walks and training, is his favorite) cause my bf is getting up for work. There’s no reasoning with the pup after that, best get up or he’ll eat my dresser. Lol One can only hope he’ll become a napper after adolescence is over.
@@mirawenya Oh I see! That's different ^^, From what I hear you are doing very good caring for your family 💗 I wish you the best and that you will get a good morning routine that works for all of you ☺️.
Thank you very much 😄. Yeah they are awesome doggos 💗. She is 19 weeks now and has been shedding for about 3 weeks I think. We brush her for about 2 minutes a day but we also need to roll our clothes. Some of her siblings doesn't shed yet. So I think it depends. She will probably shed more as an adult, and they shed more when their fur changes due to temperature and such 💗. If you don't like hairs at all dogs like poodle and those you need to cut every month or so is an alternative hehe. Either way, there will always be some maintenance or extra vacuuming. 😊
@@cocona__ Hi! Congrats to your new little friend 😁! Tera bit our hands mostly when playing etc. So whenever she bit us we said NO and then instantly offered a toy or a chewing bone so she learnt that this is okay to bite on. Like "not this, but this". So the puppy obviously bites because the teeth are itchy and they don't know better/are playful. If your puppy tries to bite the leash, be consistent and say NO,(don't shout, but firmly say no like you would a human child when they misbehave) and stop moving the leash. As if the play stops or the fun stops when they bite the leash. And then distraction with another toy or treat or so. Instant treat or instant greet when the puppy stops biting. I don't know how old your pup is yet but you could be teaching it the command "leave it". It is a great command for any situation where you want the pup to stop focusing on what it currently is focusing on. I hope some of this helps! 💜
The Vaircanabhisambodhi sutra comes to mind. "What is the mind of a cat? It means to conformingly cultivate the dharma of proceeding slowly. What is the mind of a dog? It means to obtain a little and be happily content with it." pg 11
So cute! You're so lucky to be together and to have each other ❤️ Blessings eternally star sister! You're amazing and powerful and divine and bringing fourth heaven on Earth 🙏 Namaste 🌬️💨💜 ♾️🕉️☮️☯️☃️🎄🦄🦋🌌🕊️💖⛄❄️
There is a secret land called Japan and there is a big mountain there called the Sacred Spitz Mountain, you have to climb it and it takes 100 days and 100 nights. Then, when you find the hidden castle, you have to look for a golden door. It will take you to the wonderful lands of Narnia. When you get there you have to find the lion Azlan and ask him for the old knowings of the Japanese Spitz dog. The first lesson he will teach you is how to care for a dog, the second one will teach you how to train yourself so you will become a good human for your dog and the third teaching will be about how to look up a kennel in your country that is breeding and selling Japanese Spitz dogs. ⭐🐻❄️⭐
@@dolkartenzin448 I can't tell you because I don't know where you live Dolkar. You buy dogs at kennels where they breed them. But it's a huge responsibility so you gotta be a kind responsible human if you are getting a dog. It is a family member and should be treated as such, as your best friend. Dogs need a lot of attention and love just like a child. You need to read and learn a lot about dogs before getting one and make sure you have the time, love and money to spend.
Hi! How old is it? First off, don't play with your hands. Don't wave them and stuff because it will think they are toys. If he/she bites you do a high pitch voice like "auch"! And you become still. Show the puppy that if you bite, I stop playing. The puppy will understand after a while that if it bites hard you won't play with him/her. But do it only for a few seconds and then you can play again. If you wait too long, it won't connect the dots to why you stopped. Use very clear body language. And if it bites, always offer a toy or a bone like "no, not my hands bite this instead". And loooots of affection when it bites the right stuff so it will remember it feels good to bite the right things and get praised. ⛔ Never hit or hurt your puppy to teach it stuff! That will only teach it that it is okay to use harmful action. ⛔ Good luck!
No absolutely not, she would feel very alone most of the time of her life and they are pack animals. They need more company than humans do. Also, it is not kind to a dog to have them hold their bladder for that many hours. She would probably be peeing and pooping on different places in your house. I don't know where you live but in my country it is illegal to leave a dog or cat for more than 4 hours alone actually, so think of it in terms of that. If you really want a dog but work a lot you should consider a daycare for dogs where their needs will be met every hour of the day. Like human children. Also, if you would keep a dog alone that much, you would notice that it will start to behave badly, like being destructive and have very high energy. You would see that it isn't a balanced happy dog. They need a lot of mental stimulation, like challenges for their brain. And if not, they get very bored and start to seek your attention a lot, or might destroy things because they feel frustrated. I would recommend you to have cats instead if you really want a pet. But 2 cats would be ideal so they have one another to hang out with during the long silent days. Side note: All animals like when a day is balanced with different things happening and afterwards chill and relaxed time. Just like us humans do. I hope this info helped!♡
@@TeratheSpitz Thanks alot. I live in Nairobi Kenya. Unfortunately it seems like I will not be getting a dog soon. Facilities like dog care aren't really that much available everywhere in a third world country, also I don't think getting a dog seater would work due to the fact that it's not in my budget. But thanks alot for quick feedback. 🙂
