Akita  

The untrainable dog? 

A powerful, graceful and very strong character dog. Akitas are often misunderstood by other dogs and humans because they have a different body language than other dogs. There is also hardly any educational literature on this breed. 

There is barely a dog trainer who really knows the peculiarities of this breed. Akita body language is often misinterpreted even by dog trainers. As a result, an unknowing dog trainer can even do harm in training and unsettles dog owners.  In fact, that is very likely. 

In the photo you can see my wonderful Chiyo.

• Yes, she runs free, almost everywhere, and she comes back on command! 
• She gets along with other dogs, both males and females.
• She gets along with our cat. 
• She can stay at home alone and is calm about it.
• She rarely barks. Only when she wants to indicate something, like a figure in the dark. And that is what we want. 
• She is infinitely patient with children and very friendly to people.
• She feels comfortable in the car and also on public transport.
• She behaves very mannerly in restaurants and in hotels. In the latter, by the way, she sometimes stays alone for a few hours. So we also have dog-free times on holiday. 
• She never jumps on people. Never. 
• She does not dig up the garden. 
• She does not jump on the sofa and certainly not on the bed. But if that's what you want with your dog, then of course that's ok ☺.

This is all possible if the training and socialisation happens as early as possible and in the correct way! 

I am very happy to meet you and your Akita.
