They are highly independent and they love to spend some time alone doing their own stuff, so just be sure that they had plenty of opportunities to not get bored, from my experience they are more observers than players, and will prefer to lay down near pond or just walk around and patrol territory, somehow it makes them happy to fulfill their guarding duty.
We have 2 Akita inu now and it’s impossible for us to travel because we can‘t find boarding places for them. But we don’t regret it, nothing can compare to the joy that they brought to our life, especially the tough pandemic years❤
@@minzhu5521 unfortunately that’s something akita owners have to live with, but same as you, no regrets at all here💕 we take them with us if we go on holiday🥰
Life with an Akita can be a real challenge. Also when going on vacation, meeting other dogs and so on. But this dog is also a wonderful asset. We owe our Yuuki incredibly wonderful experiences and adventures. Never again without an Akita
Perfectly fine to leave alone for 8 hours. But if you are asking if the Akita Inu can be left alone every day (for example 5 days/week for work), I think that you will want an outdoor space that is fenced in. If you live in an apartment and are contemplating leaving the dog home alone 8 hrs/day, that is not good for a large dog. Not saying it is not feasible, but I would plan on 60 minutes of vigorous hiking/running in the morning before leaving the dog.
we lived in an appartment with an akita for two years and that's exactly what we did, in the morning and after work you have to make time for a nice and long walk to keep them happy! well said🥰
