I'm asking just for fun...does your Shiba have any weird phobias or is scared of certain situations/objects? I just got Koji a month ago and aside from the normal skittishness here and there, I haven't noticed anything that he goes exorcist over EXCEPT for steel plates on the cement and cutting his nails. He is great on walks, doesn't pull (even when he sees another dog, bird, etc) but he just FREEZES right before we are about to walk over any kind of steel plate on the ground. I have been trying to desensitize him to them because they are unavoidable during our walk and sometimes I will nudge him along to walk over it slowly and he does okay, other times he just jumps or runs over it as fast as he can!
Does anyone have any tips for cutting his nails and holding him down because he goes CRAZY and has left scratches on both of us. Luckily he hasn't bit.
What's your Shiba afraid of?
