The Complete Guide to the Shiba Inu: Selecting, Preparing For, Training, Feeding, Raising, and Loving Your New Shiba Inu

Great book. I am a first time Shiba Inu owner. Very helpful.

Bulleted summaries would be very helpful at the end of chapters. Lots of good recommendations and information. Be nice to have a recap of most important points at the end of chapters

this is a really helpful book. I got it to train my pup and so far nothing but great tips in this book. But finding what you're looking for in here, is a challenge. But whatever you are looking for, it's there.

Good book, very informative. If it was in color I would have given 5 stars.

Some of the accurate info in this can be found on blogs, and the glaring inaccuracies make it hard to trust.- The author pushes raw food, and if not raw that you can cook your own food and just give some to your dog. No thoughts about spices, how much goes in, that you shouldn’t be giving your dog heavily seasoned food, etc- Recommends grain free even though this has repeatedly been cited as a bad option for dogs- Your dogs paws should never leave the floor. Not really sure how this one was decided. Puppies are often too small to jump into vehicles or go down stairs on their own- The author makes many sweeping statements, such as “train your dog for five minutes at a time” without taking into account age, temperament, training level, etc. You’d be much better served taking training advice from a generalist that teaches you how to read your dog and adapt like Zac George, vs this.- mentions things like marker words with no explanation

Some inconsistencies, and needs editing - there were glaring grammatical errors. Information was decent enough, but nothing you can't find online.

The house breaking tips were very useful as well as the training tips. Being an owner of a shiba inu they can tend to be on the stubborn side. The book had so much useful information. I have other books that pertain to care but this one was so much more resourceful. Bonus our shiba inu was featured in the book. Loved looking at all the wonderful pictures of all the shiba inus. Would recommend to anyone. 5 stars

Well organized and lots of great information for a first time Shiba servant. I wish I had had this book when I first got my shiba, because they are a very unique breed...general training/puppy books just don’t prepare you the way breed specific books like this one do.

Lovely book but online photos are in colour (they are in greytone in the printed edition - would have given 4 stars if colour as advertised).

Full of contradictions and not very useful

Very very basic information, some of which could be considered contradictory. Everything can be found online for free but it’s a hard copy quick reference. If you don’t like hard copies this definitely isn’t worth the money
