Does a Shiba Inu only recognize one owner?

The Shiba Inu only knows one owner. Shiba Inu usually only knows one owner in its life unless it changes its owner. Breeding from an early age is conducive to developing a bond with the Shiba Inu. They are very loyal dogs and very intelligent and reliable. Normally, a Shiba Inu will recognize people at one month and recognize its owner at six months.

Performance of the Shiba Inu recognizing its owner:

1. When the Shiba Inu regards you as its master, it will turn its belly in front of the owner. The belly is a very soft part of the dog's body. They usually hide their belly and only turn it over in front of their owner.

2. After a Shiba Inu treats you as its master, it will stick to its master like a follower and will respond quickly when it hears its own name.
