AKI POO

Care

Exercise

Daily exercise is vital for Akipoos which include half-an-hour of walking or playing. They can be suitable for fetching, running, tugging and swimming regularly. It needs these activities to stay healthy both physically and mentally.

Grooming

They need frequent brushing, at least four or five times a week for their dense coat.

Health Problems

These are a healthier breed compared to others. The only common issue is hip dysplasia.

Training

Akipoos are the most receptive to commands when they are 8 or 12 weeks old, that is when they should begin training. They should be taught patience and tolerance with younger kids. Teach it to control its aggressiveness and not be dominant. More importantly, never yell at them while they are barking, instead use the ‘quiet’ command to make it stop.

Feeding

Since it is almost the size of an Akita, its diet should be similar to them. Its food should be high in protein and should provide high energy.
