before you buy akita

You should know that so dynamic in action dog is not for everyone. The owner has to rule with an iron hand, be confident and logic in treatment and also be even more stubborn than akita is; sometime react as fast and uncompromisingly as akita does. It should be remembered that akitas feel and read perfectly human intentions, they can decode the falsehood and could even attack. So remember - akita can't understand a joke of someone unfamiliar, especially kids.

You have to be aware of akita's capabilities, which are imprinted in its instincts. This dog is extremely agile and tough in a fight. Therefore you have to take care of its upbringing and never let it show its power. Akita is a „one action” dog, apparently lazy with moderate temperament but when there's dangerous situation or when it's enthusiastic with fun or in hunting, it can in a moment become unbelievably agile and fast that it amazes everyone.
Akita would always make use of occasion to hunt, so you have to remember to avoid dangerous situations for wild or domestic animals.
Akita is able to dominate much bigger intruder who comes into its territory or disturbs peace of its family.
That's why you have to always remember that akita never loses its primary wildness and ability to reactions usually not expected from such a 'phlegmatic teddy bear'.
