How do you know when a Shiba Inu has claimed its owner? A Shiba Inu that has claimed its owner will be extremely clingy, wagging its tail at you, licking you with its tongue, and even just showing its round belly to you. Shiba Inu is very fond of its owner’s scent, and it likes to chew on things with its owner’s strong scent such as slippers and socks. And when the Shiba Inu recognizes his owner, he will become less protective of his food. It is in the dog’s nature to protect its food, and if a stranger touches its food, it will immediately attack, while if the owner touches its food, it will behave more submissively. After recognizing its owner, the Shiba Inu will remember the owner’s home routine, and when that time is approaching, it will run to the door or window and wait for the owner to come home. A diligent Shiba Inu will also wake you up early in the morning and see his owner out of the house.
