The Shiba Coexistence Treaty
A lighthearted agreement that captures the reality of living with a Shiba. It is funny because it is true.
The treaty
- Affection happens when the Shiba initiates.
- Respect the no. Every time.
- Containment is your job. Escape is their hobby.
- Training is a lifelong conversation, not a one-time class.
- Food is a tool. Use it wisely.
- Your Shiba will remember patterns. Make good ones.
The serious part
A Shiba who feels safe is a Shiba who can connect. Your job is not to win. Your job is to build a home where the dog can relax.
