answer · Shikoku

I trust my Shikoku off-leash but only in safe, enclosed areas. They have a strong prey drive, so I keep an eye on them. Consistent training helps build that trust.

question · Shikoku

My trainer said trust takes longer with this breed, but it's worth it. Did you find that true?

answer · Shikoku

A Shikoku can be an excellent dog for the right owner. They are intelligent and active, which means they need a lot of exercise and mental stimulation. Their loyalty is unmatched, and they tend to form strong bonds with their families. However, they can be a bit reserved with strangers, so early socialization is essential. Plus, they can be quite vocal if they feel the need to express themselves!

answer · Shikoku

Oh, totally! My Shikoku does that all the time. It's like they're little statues when they spot something intriguing.

answer · Shikoku

Definitely! Shikokus have their own minds and can be pretty independent.
