Then you brought this upon yourself. Husky and Shiba owners picked hard mode dog keeping themselves.

Seriously. I have a husky mix and the few times she has gotten loose, I've had to throw myself on the ground and pretend to be hurt to get her to stop and come back cause her ass is fast and while she knows quite a few commands, we have struggled with "come". Also, pretending you have a treat sometimes works.

🤣 I knew huskies were a handful, but didn't realize Shibas were too.

Is he a runner too? I know they are high energy and need to work.

Australian shepherds are extremely intelligent. And you have to keep their brains occupied and challenged. Or they will use that brainpower to disrupt your life as much as possible.

After I was married, my wife and I wanted a low maintenance dog, so we got a Brussels Griffon. That dog could stare at a blank wall for three hours and be entertained. He was not bright. Took us forever to house train him but he didn't really enjoy playing like other dogs. He wanted to be petted. He'd bark when someone was at the door. That was the extent of his life. He snored like an idling chainsaw, though.

I feel your pain, my Shiba was a runner, too. And an escape artist. It was hard not to take it personally some times!
