Akita owners this my frist dog and akita 5 months old male is there any thing i got to look out for?

Answers:
Make sure he is socialized and I would find an experienced handler to help you train them. Get the book The monks of New Skete The art of raising a puppy. With this type of dog you want to raise them right.

Yup, get him neutered now..And if you are going to have him around other dogs, get out there and socialize him around other dogs while he is still young.. Akitas can be very dog aggressive. Socialize him to everything you want him to like, be able to do, that you want him to accept.. kids, people, other dogs etc.

Akitas are very active dogs and can be aggressive, so make sure it gets good, early training. Try to find an obedience class and get started as early as you can. Other than that, they're great!

go to dog school, stay in close touch with your breeder, make an appt for neutering now.

They are a very aggressive breed of dog, get him fixed ASAP, the longer you wait the more aggressive he will be and 5 months is already way over due

I always wondered about these dogs because you don't see too many of them. The are gorgeous. I'm almost surprised to hear that they're agressive.
