Yes, Shiba Inus are
friendly and sociable dogs who form strong bonds with their pet parents. Shiba Inus may not always exude overt friendliness with everyone they meet — their friendliness can vary among individual dogs of the breed, with some being super friendly and sociable and others being more reserved or even aloof, particularly with strangers.
Socialization plays a significant role in a Shiba Inu’s friendliness. Early and consistent socialization with a variety of people, animals, and environments can help ensure that they are well-adjusted and friendly pups around others.
