I have a Shiba too, and like Laurie said, they are a handful--I would say that obedience is not their strong point (not Kito's at least). They are an amazing dog to have though, Kito is so loyal, but he is a little unpredictable around other dogs, especially small ones.
You should check into the SPCA or a rescue organization, or also check petfinder--there are so many great dogs out there who need a home!!!
