Are Akitas easy to train?

No, Akitas are not easy to train, especially for inexperienced pet parents. Their dominant and independent nature means they may try to assert themselves as leaders if not properly trained and managed.

However, t raining any dog takes substantial time and effort, regardless of breed. Consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement-based training methods are essential when training Akitas. They respond best to firm but gentle guidance and praise for good behavior. Harsh training methods are not recommended as they can lead to distrust and resistance from your dog.
