"But he was wagging his tail!!" Look at the whole body! All of the body language from this dog was showing exactly the behavior that happened:

Lip licking
Hard stare
Forward on his feet
Ears back
Pushy behavior

Don't ignore the whole body! This dog was looking for an excuse to attack this guy and the guy wasn't respecting the dog at all. He was leaning over him slightly and continued to pet over the top of the head. The wagging tail literaly meant nothing other than a stimulated dog that was getting moderatly excited about having to do his job (protecting his space).

Meet Mylo the Shiba Inu! He's my friend's dog and unfortunately he needs a new home (divorce and with the current housing market, cannot keep him).
He's a nice boy with good energy, up to date on vaccines and neutered. He's 3yrs old. Good with kids. Unsure about other dogs and cats.

Please message me with any interest in doing a meet and greet. I'm offering a couple private lessons to help him get settled in his new home.

Yup! And the good breeders will already be training your puppy before you get it home!

Imprint periods start around 4-6 weeks of age and go until 12-16 weeks of age. This is KEY timing on training your pup and working with exposure.

Having your distemper and kennel cough vaccines started no later than 8 weeks of age will help keep your puppy safe while you are working on socialization/exposure in the real world.

I’m often asked. When should we start training our . Well a puppy is learning from the moment you bring them home. What you mean to teach and what you don’t mean to teach. Before you get your puppy. Mom is teaching them. Sometimes the breeder also teaches the pups. So when should you start. The answer :”the moment you bring the puppy home”.
