Are Shiba Inus hard to train?

Shiba Inus are hugely independent and may be challenging to train, especially for novice dog pet parents. Because of their independent nature, they may question commands and may require more motivation and patience during training. Training these pups may also be more complex because they are high-spirited, incredibly fast runners, and have a high prey drive. 

Shibas also become bored easily, so keep training sessions quick, engaging, and fun with plenty of treats. Consistency in training is crucial for this breed.
