How to Train Your Akita Puppies
Akita’s are beautiful and loyal dogs. They are popular because they can be great with people and make good watch dogs. However, they need to be trained to avoid aggressive behavior. A well trained Akita can be a great addition to any family.
Knowing how to properly train your Akita puppy is crucial. These are very intelligent dogs that need to be trained properly to avoid aggression and misbehavior. Here are a few tips to properly train your Akita puppy.
What You’ll Need:
- Collar
- Leash
- Crate
- Toys
- Get a collar and leash that are sturdy and fit well. Put the leash on the collar and let it walk around a little while with it on so it is used to the feel of it. Keep an eye on the puppy so they do not get tangled up in anything.
- Keep in mind that an Akita can be territorial so keep her crate in an area where they will not be disturbed. Put some toys in her crate so she does not become bored or restless.
- Start a strict feeding schedule for your puppy. An Akita can get to be aggressive when they eat and can also eat more than they need to. Keeping them on a schedule is a great way to avoid this. Always make sure they have access to clean water as well.
- Be sure that you let the puppy out often, their bladders are small still. Take the puppy outside immediately after eating and praise them only after they have gone.
- Take the time to socialize the puppy. Akita dogs can become aggressive towards people and other animals when they are not socialized when they are young. Wait until they are completely vaccinated before you let them meet too many other animals.
