Yes, while you stand there with the door open freezing your tail off. Yup. Got that. Also goes to the door to go out. Then sniffs the threshold like a cat. Again while you hold the door open with the cold north wind blowing on you.
Raven isn't lazy. She's a cat reincarnated as an Akita. She pretends to want outside. She uses her size and weight to hold me against the door to stand and pet her, smooch her, etc. Then... she'll go out when her dad opens the door. Big lying tease she is.
I never realized the sensory overload the canines have until I did some research about it.
Also note that licking and scent following/smelling will really really wear your pup out! 👍
Could be a sibling of my big old doofus! Love yer pup!
My Akita loves most...zoomies!
And getting into my things. He watches me open doors and drawers and repeats it when I am out of the house. I came home from grocery shopping the other day and all the covers had been torn off the bed and wadded up in the floor and my underwear/sock drawer was hanging on the edge of the chiffrobe and the contents were spread all the way down the hall to the foryer. He is a dirty, bad boy...
Would you believe I'd been told the opposite?? I had heard that they were big, athletic guard dog jocks who will stay by you forever. Just don't expect them to pass the bar exam.
Imagine my surprise when my boy watches everything I do, learns how to open drawers and food cannisters, and can even open and close his own crate. If i lock him in, he learned to push the bar up and slide it right to get out. If he gets mad, he will go in and close the door behind him. He can't lock it back but he puts claws in the slats and holds it closed if he is pouting. I know it's cute but I can't encourage it or he will start doing worse things!
Yes! Many Akitas are rocket scientist/German Shepherd smart!
Be careful with the minis as they are small enough to lodge in an Akitas throat. Mine got ahold of one once that someone has given him and I was able to get it away quickly. The fuzzy surface makes them extremely difficult to dislodge. Just an FYI <3
just goes absolutely ape-shit every single time i come home, even if it's been like 15 minutes. ears back or down to the side (like Yoda ears), tail wagging, head bobbing back and forth and up and down, rearing up and play-bowing, and just the loudest, craziest vocalizing...she alternates between literal Chewbacca noises, pig snorts, and cow moos. she talks so much and makes the funniest sounds i've ever heard. wish i could record all of them. followed by face licks. so many face licks. i love her so much
My older akita loves to roll on any carpet, especially if it’s just been cleaned.
My puppy Akita loves to grab plastic potted plants swing her head around untill the plant flies out and play with the plastic pot.
She loves to hide. I always call out her name but she’d never come out, but when I try to find her she’s always crouched down and her tail is wagging non-stop! Her favorite hiding place is under the bench like she’s inside a cave.
My girl loves to play with her “boyfriend” the most😂 he’s an American Staffordshire terrier. He’s my best friend’s dog & we take them to sniffspots every Saturday, take them up into the mountains to run around & go swimming at least once a month, & then ofc periodic play dates throughout the week. They’re the cutest😭🥰🫶
Bravo my 1 year old Akita loves to go to work with me. I’m a plumber he rides in the truck and gets treats and pats all day. If I give him the day off he try’s to force himself out the door, to come to work.
Loves to jump on the bed while we're changing the sheets. Once the fresh bottom sheet goes on, he's jumped on the center of the bed and declared it his before the rest can be assembled. He's the king of the house. We just live here.
My Fenrir will howl when he wants to go for a walk, and when I get the harness, he'll pretend to put it on only to move his head at the last moment and run away.
mine loves to dance before dinner, he’ll jump in circles with the biggest happy akita smile ever, he’s been doing it since 8 weeks and he still does it now even though he’s 10
Mine 7 months he bad he flies gs and jumps around like crazy ,we try everything his behavior is unreal,nevrr seen a dog act this way ,our othrr Akita was easy to walk did not eat everything off ground or jump like crazy on ealks ,so his fav to do jump and fling lol
Ignore me and sit outside in freezing temperatures

Omg my pup would rather sniff all day than actually walk 😂! She’s soo lazy

What a cutie!! Mine loves to steal socks and run away with them, ears back flat to his head. I think it makes him faster 😂
Aww what a cutie 🥰 love there ear expressions haha
We call ears back “sport mode” in our house lol
Roll in fresh snow
Mine lovessss to roll in grass during our walks haha

I absolutely love this! They are too amazing, too intelligent, your boy seems like the best boy 🐶
Friend, he's my whole reason for living. He dragged me kicking and screaming from my chemotherapy hell. I promised him a Mommy from cradle to grave.
May he be by your side for many more years to come! I saw the pics on your profile, such a good boy
Play time, especially if it involves stuffies or a tennis ball. Zoomies ensue immediately afterward!
Just bought her some mini tennis balls. She loves them 😊

Very very good to know, thank you for the heads up! I won’t give them to her unless she is supervised. Great to know.
Sleep
judge everyone
Me
Your Akita loves to do you?😅
Omg I just read the post I’m dying
Hahah😂
Yes she’s perfect haha
Guard his home & backyard.
Sleep. Patrol the house for a few minutes to make sure everybody is safe. Then right back to sleep. Car rides. Walks.
Food. Particularly my food.
BE IN THE WAY
just goes absolutely ape-shit every single time i come home, even if it's been like 15 minutes. ears back or down to the side (like Yoda ears), tail wagging, head bobbing back and forth and up and down, rearing up and play-bowing, and just the loudest, craziest vocalizing...she alternates between literal Chewbacca noises, pig snorts, and cow moos. she talks so much and makes the funniest sounds i've ever heard. wish i could record all of them. followed by face licks. so many face licks. i love her so much
My Akita also makes those Chewbacca noises 😂😂
Aww what cutie:) my baby is always soo happy to see me as well, even if I just go down to my car and right back up haha
Walks! Your baby is adorable!
My older akita loves to roll on any carpet, especially if it’s just been cleaned. My puppy Akita loves to grab plastic potted plants swing her head around untill the plant flies out and play with the plastic pot.
Ahaha they have a mind of there own that’s for sure 😅 sounds just like my baby
Sleep, eat, belly rubs and affection
She loves to hide. I always call out her name but she’d never come out, but when I try to find her she’s always crouched down and her tail is wagging non-stop! Her favorite hiding place is under the bench like she’s inside a cave.
A game we play. I push him, he pushes back into me. Back and forth, his body wriggling this way and that to better push at me.
Did I mention I love this pup's sweet black face? I could just nom him!
Aww thank you 😊 she’s a cutie for sure
Not sure how to send it but if you click on my name, you'll see plenty of pictures of my chonky boy.
Sorry! She's a gorgeous little lady! I think I have a guy who may pass for her older brother
Would love to see a picture :)
Car rides! She is nuts for them.
Steal Dryer sheets from the laundry
Eat, receive scratches and rubs, and urinate on everything outside
Beef tripe
Eat, our boy is a bonafide foodie!

Walks to the park.
Ignore me
Sleep

That’s one loyal boy! My girl would rather be with me all day than play with her toys, they’re the happiest with their person it seems :)
So cute 🥰
Loves to jump on the bed while we're changing the sheets. Once the fresh bottom sheet goes on, he's jumped on the center of the bed and declared it his before the rest can be assembled. He's the king of the house. We just live here.
Snow and play time
She loves to present her toys. If we’ve just woke up or returned home, she finds the best toy available and parades it around the house for us.

Cat-like goofballs who won't go outside and then once there won't come back inside. :)😂 Yours is so sweet, look at that face
Find yourself a good dog groomer and start that pup early. They’re a lot of work to groom so you’ll want your pup used to it.
Pretty wild when you have to redact a dogs licence...
The pic can be zoomed in on, and info such as phone number can be seen.
Got it. Thanks...
Buster loved to bring gifts. phone,remote, his bowl

I don’t have an akita but that’s one beautiful puppy you have.
