Are Akitas stubborn?

Absolutely! This is one reason that we say you must be totally consistent in making and enforcing the rules for your Akita. For example, if you tell them to get off the couch 9 times but then you let them on the couch the 10th time, they will remember the one time they were allowed to get on the couch and you will have a lot harder time keeping them off in the future. One of the reasons that we have been so successful in training our Akitas is that we have learned how to clearly show them what is allowed and what is not allowed. Then we are totally consistent in enforcing the rules. Also, we show them that we are more persistent than they are.
