Buster is an 11 year old Black & Tan Shiba Inu and he came from Asbury Park, NJ out of the Tinton Falls Animal Shelter. He has been with us for 5 years and has really come far since being rescued.

Buster is an 11 year old Black & Tan Shiba Inu and he came from Asbury Park, NJ out of the Tinton Falls Animal Shelter. He has been with us for 5 years and has really come far since being rescued. No doubt living with the Working Shiba herself has played a big part. He is quite the good walker and a great leader. He is selective with his friends and prefers pups that don’t bother him but rather walk. He’s such a good boy and definitely Junha‘s #1 right hand pup! We are so glad he is part of the Working Shiba family

Dalton is a 9 year old Husky mix who brings a ton of excitement to the team! His larger prescence comes in handy for the bigger overeactive dogs who play and socialize at too high a level. Dalton also works well with nervous dogs by being a calm prescence while the nervous dogs deals with large or loud objects. Nervous dogs will stop their high level reacting when Dalton does not, as they understand from him the objects and/or sounds are not a threat. Dalton also has the stamina needed to work with over a dozen dogs or more a day, with his tail pointing to the stars all day long! Dalton’s obedient behavior and his happy attitude make him a valuable animal behaviorist and a big part of the Working Shiba team! 🐕

Jackson is a 5 year old Shiba Inu who started as a client and has fully graduated as a star pupil of Junha and is now an acting Working Shiba and he is available to our clients on a weekly basis. Jackson is a strong leader with a playful attitude. He is eager to get going and presents a focused and balanced energy for all our clients who lack confidence. Jackson works best in cooler weather so we must limit his sessions during the summer season. Slightly less strict as his mentor Junha, Jackson will engage in play at the proper time which is also helpful for our pups who have difficulty engaging with other dogs. We are sure your pup will love Jackson as much as Jackson will help socialize and teach your dog to be all around well balanced canine.
