Alert and intelligent, these dogs have a real mind of their own so training must not be left too late. However, if training begins early and they are rewarded with praise and treats, Shiba Inus can be blissfully well behaved. Grooming is fairly easy, and regular brushing with a hard bristle brush will remove any dead hair. Wiping their ears with a specialist solution will keep them clean and reduce parasites.
