Shiba Inu can recognize its owner. The Shiba Inu has a strong, brave and decisive personality, and is a very just and loyal dog. A Shiba Inu that is about two to three months old can already recognize its owner. Generally, once a Shiba Inu recognizes an owner, it will follow that owner for its entire life. It is more difficult to forcibly change its owner midway, so it is not recommended to change the owner of a Shiba Inu casually.

Performance of Shiba Inu recognizing its owner

1. Will obey the owner’s instructions. When the owner calls it from a distance, the Shiba Inu will immediately run to the owner. When the owner issues some commands that it has learned before, the Shiba Inu will obediently follow them.

2. Will lick the owner frequently. In the world of Shiba Inu, if they lick someone else's face, it means they are willing to obey the other person and admit their weak position. If a Shiba Inu licks your face, it means that it recognizes you as its master in its heart.

3. No longer protecting food. It is natural for dogs to protect food, and the same goes for Shiba Inu. When it is eating, it will not react violently when its owner approaches it.

4. The belly will be exposed. The most fragile and sensitive part of a Shiba Inu is its belly, which is generally not easily touched by others. After a Shiba Inu recognizes you as its owner, it will often lie on the ground with its belly exposed and let you touch it without any precautions.
