Types of Shibu Inus Screams 

There are a few different types of Shibu Inus screams. The most common scream you are likely to hear from your Shiba is when they are running around. This can happen when they are playing or if they are startled. This not only includes when they are puppies but also when they are adult dogs. This is the most common time you will hear a Shiba scream. 

Let’s go over some types of Shiba Screams:

• Silent Scream – This occurs when your Shiba Inu is trying to let you know there is something wrong, but they are too scared to make any noise. When this occurs, your Shiba Inu may tremble, pace, or hide.
• Screeching – This is when your Shiba Inu is trying to get your attention, but they are in a state of panic and can’t quite figure out how to communicate properly. Better known as the Shiba shriek.
• Howls – This is when your Shiba Inu is in the middle of a state of extreme anxiety, but they are attempting to communicate through a howl.
• Other – Shiba Inu Screams can be a mixture of the above. This usually occurs when your Shiba Inu is freaking out and they don’t even know what they themselves are trying to say. 

What Causes Shiba Inus To Scream? 

Shibu Inus are a very excitable breed and can be very energetic as puppies. They can also be very timid and shy. What causes a Shiba Inu to scream is usually a high level of excitement and being startled. The Shiba Scream can be caused by a sudden loud noise or a quick movement. For example, if you were to clap your hands while they were playing with a friend or running around. It can also be caused by sudden movement that startles the dog. For example, a Shiba that is running around might be startled by you suddenly moving toward it. The Shiba Scream is also caused by a Shiba being overly excited. This can happen with puppies that are playing or dogs that are overly excited from a walk or playtime. 

Here are some common reasons why Shibas Scream:

1. Playful – A Shiba Inu playfully makes this high-pitched sound when it’s excited and when it’s excited to play with you or other humans. In this state, the dog might also tilt its head to one side.
2. Scared – When a Shiba Inu is scared, it screams just like other canines and humans would, with a very high-pitched sound. Because Shiba Inus are often confused for smaller dogs and cats by larger predators, they tend to scream when they’re in a state of fear.
3. Unhappy – An unhappy Shiba Inu might also scream, but in a different way. This state is usually caused by another dog barking or people yelling near the dog, but it can also happen when the dog is just bored and looking for something to do!

Shibu Inus “Drama Queens” 

Unlike other dog breeds, the Shiba Inu does not outgrow their “screaming phase.” Instead, they might become more fearful and vocal with time. Shiba Inus are often described as “drama queens.” This means that when something scares them, they have a tendency to show it by howling, barking, or howling and barking. While they are extremely affectionate with their owners, they might also be scared and show their fear by making a lot of noise. 

How To Prevent a Shibu Inu From Screaming? 

There are a few things you can do to prevent a Shiba Scream. Let’s get right into the first step. The first thing is to provide your Shibu Inu with plenty of exercise. This will help them burn off their excess energy and calm them down. It is also important to socialize your Shibu Inu with other people and animals when they are young puppies. This will help reduce their fear of other people and animals as adults.

Important Tips To Remember:

• Do not ever hit your Shiba Inu when they are screaming. Shouting at a Shiba Inu is not going to make them stop.
• Do not ever yell or get loud towards your Shiba Inu. This is only going to make them more scared than they already are.
