Answer: Absolutely! This is one reason that we say you must be totally consistent in making and enforcing the rules for your Akita. For example, if you tell them to get off the couch 9 times but then you let them on the couch the 10th time, they will remember the one time they were allowed to get on the couch and you will have a lot harder time keeping them off in the future.

Answer: That depends upon the temperament of the individual dog and how it was raised. We feel that many Akitas are good with the children who live with them but will be less tolerant of playmates or other children who are only visiting. Parents should never leave children under the age of 10 years alone with any dog. Not even for a minute or two. Dogs are not Humans and they sometimes do not understand the quick movements and unusual sounds that small children can make.

Answer: Yes. Akitas are very loyal to their families and usually have a possessive sense about their territory and their people. Because of their natural instinct to protect, we feel that you should never encourage aggressive behavior in your Akita. There can be a fine line between protecting the back yard from intruders (a real threat) and being dangerously unpredictable in Public (a perceived but unreal threat). You should never do any protection or guard dog training with an Akita.

Answer: Quite often they are not. The Akita has strong hunting instincts and prey drive. Because of this, they naturally try to be aggressive to other animals. In some instances, they can be taught to coexist with other animals (usually if they were raised together from puppyhood) but they will not often tolerate neighbor's animals or new household pets that are introduced after the Akita is mature. Akitas are naturally aggressive to other dogs, especially of the same sex.

Answer: All dogs, and especially Akitas need to have consistent rules to live by. Your Akita needs to have loving but firm Human leadership to look up to. If your Akita thinks you are not in charge, he/she will take over. Respect for leadership is a huge issue to Akitas. Dogs are born with a set of instinctive behaviors. We can shape these behaviors through training but we can never completely erase them. For this reason, you must remember that Akitas were originally bred to hunt and fight.

Answer: No. Akitas need to have structured lives with lots of Human contact. If you do not believe in rules and structure - you may not have the best experience with an Akita. If your life is so busy that the dog will stay in the back yard and rarely see you - you should not choose an Akita. Answer: No. Earning an Obedience title demonstrates that the dog was trainable by the person who taught them the Obedience exercises.

Hold your puppy on it's back in your arms like a baby, at least twice each day, whisper loving endearments and play with their feet. This is mostly for the younger dogs, up to a year old.

Can a 3 month old puppy sleep outside in a doghouse in winter? My mom won't let him inside because he messes there and it smells.

There is no simple answer to this question because, like people, and most other breeds of dogs, individuals do vary. However, in general, most hounds are somewhat more challenging to train. When talking about beagles, it is often said that they "live on their own agenda". This doesn't necessarily make training difficult, it just means you have to find the training method that works for your dog. Most people find that food is the best motivator for beagles.

b) Wash a pinky in soap and water, rinse, and dry. Then present to the hatchling. Try live, then a dead one. Washing apparently can remove some scent that can inhibit eating by some hatchling snakes. d) Place a moistened section of a skin or shed skin from a lizard on the head and back of a pre-killed pinky. A lizard kept frozen can be a good source of bits of skin. e) Wiggle the mouse in front of the snake. If you don't already, make sure you use forceps and the snake may lunge at your hand.

Well----stubborn, sometimes, but not hard to handle! Kids that are separated from their dams at birth and hand-raised will bond to you and will be very easy to handle even as adults. They are, in fact, one of the most delightful aspects of goatkeeping and are as affectionate and loving as any family pet! Bucks raised in this manner are also gentle as adults but we always advise caution when bucks go into their rut. They can become more aggressive during this time.

Don't we all hate washing? Especially those difficult ring of scum stucked on the inside fermenter. Hard scrubbing will leave scratches that eventually harbour bacteria or beer spoilers.

No. Those negative traits in the donkeys you may have known are a result of feral breeding. In contrast, the Mediterranean Miniature has been treasured and selectively bred for centuries. They are naturally affectionate and will return the love extended to them manyfold. They will not "break" as with a horse and choose to follow you as "Alpha Leader" in a trust relationship. Trust is the key to their training.
