Are Akitas good with kids?

Yes, Akitas can be good with kids if they are properly trained, socialized, and raised in a household where children are taught to respect a dog’s boundaries. Akitas have protective natures, so they may be wary of strangers or unfamiliar children.

As with any breed, it is recommended that your child is always supervised when interacting with your dog to keep both the child and dog safe. Teaching children how to properly approach and handle dogs is crucial to ensure positive experiences for both the dog and the child, as is teaching dogs how to interact gently with children.
