Bad dog behavior is often very upsetting to us because we attribute them to lack of love, dominance, vengeance, or some other unpleasant human motive.

Shiba Inus are bred to hunt and they love chasing games. It doesn’t take too long for a Shiba to learn that stealing a toy and running away with it will usually start a fun chase around the house, or in the park and beach. The chase game rewards a Shiba’s thieving behavior which causes him to continue stealing. Here we consider how to stop a thief Shiba and turn him into a good citizen (well maybe not good but not-so-bad citizen).
