My last Akita, Jack (may he rest in peace 🪦) would eat peeled cucumber slices 🥒. Where as my my Akita took a bowl of chicken noodle soup off of the counter and spit out the carrots and celery. 😂.
Oh my goodness this is my akita!!! He literally only take the “gourmet” food and never the cheap snack 🙄 he’s beautiful though I wish him a long healthy life 🥰
Any chance we get a video about the break and down commands? I used similar ones with my GSDs but now that they are gone and the home is ready, I’m getting an Akita. Just me and my lady, Perfect home for a bear!
I have an Akita mix I rescued and I’ve watched all your videos he is the calmest dog I’ve ever owned he’s great being introduced to the dogs I have (might be because they are all female two males but one was his pup and the other he met as a pup) he’s also great with people a huge couch potato all around great dog but I’ve taken him with two trainers and went through at least 8 months of my own self trying to train he’s around 3 now and we moved homes for the most part he’s doing good but he’s taken to jumping over the fence my concern isn’t him with other dogs or people it’s that we live on a big avenue and I don’t wanna come home and find him run over, but I don’t wanna have him tied all day what can I do.
Only two options are getting a higher fence or keeping him on a run or inside. The problem with training is it can work 99% of the time, but that one time it doesn't could be fatal.
we're just in training with our pups , so this wouldnt work weel for me yet . I wouldnt get the time to put the snacks down cause it would be gone. So good to see your dog so patiently waiting the first time. Hope mine will get that behaved as well
@@TheAkitaLife oh thank god 🙏 am not alone I thought I may have done something wrong bringing him up , he's good with people and female dogs but not the males so I thought I may have been me that I did something wrong but if its in his genes then its all good I will just try to drill in a command to stop him while he's out on his lead.
The vast majority of akita's have same sex aggression. Mine will walk past other male dogs with absolutely no problem unless the other dog lunges, growls or barks at him and then he will silently make a move to assert his dominance. I give a quick snap on his leash(Martingale collar) and say "NO, leave it" and that's the end of it. He is 20 months old and it took about 12months to get him to this stage. I've never used a prong collar on him. Trouble with akita dogs is that they have a dominant look with their pointed ears and high tail which sets alot of other dogs off. I've had previous akitas and my present one is super dominant, so I am quite pleased to get him to this level of control because I never thought my guy would ever get there. However if a dog is off leash and runs up to him and the owner cannot recall their dog I give mine alot off slack and let him show the other dog they have made a mighty error. I don't give a shit what the owner says as they should have their dog on a leash. I don't get into an argument with the thick shits as it's a waste off time and just tell them to remember the next time they see me their dog had better be on a leash. Akita pups are okay with same sex dogs until they are about 12-18 months old and then everything changes when their predisposition to dominance kicks in. It can be quite a shock to some owners when this happens. The predisposed gene for dominance is one of the last genes to kick in.
@@simonjeakings4470 I wasn't sure what genes were going to be dominant in my furbaby because he is half American Akita and half siberian Husky but once he hit 14 months old some akita behaviours were starting to show and it's taken time but he is learning to sit when I say no to him but if the other dog is off lead and doesn't take his growl and dominant stance as warning and comes closer he will go straight for the face and neck the last dog was an XL Bully off lead and I had a go at his owner but at least the owner of the other dog learned a lesson he now slips a lead over his dogs head when he sees me and my boy , I just wish others would learn to because its not a joke and I don't want to see any dog get hurt.
No one likes to see dogs get injured, but in reality it will always happen because unfortunately there will always be idiot dog owners out there with a brain the size of a pea. Some advice I will give you is don't tell or make your dog sit when a dog is running up to yours off leash. You do not know if that dog is friendly or not and no dog has the right to invade your personal space. You have no way of knowing whether that dog is friendly or not. Your concern must be for you dog and he has the right to defend him/herself. Sitting just encourages the other dog to keep on coming closer. Let him stand and give him enough leash to defend himself (friendly or not). I put mine on a 10 ft leash just for this reason. If a fight ensues, which ever dog gets injured, under the law as it stands, the off leash dogs owner has to pay costs for any of the dogs which gets injured. My dog was attacked 4 times in one week. The biggest of the 4 was at least 20 pounds heavier than my dog and was put flat on his back by mine in a matter of seconds. Never had any bother from that dog since.
