Come is a big one. Inside is fine but anywhere outside the ADD kicks in and he is like "oh i dont hear anything". Akitas in general I've learned a lot about through Strikes training. Have to be creative and know when your gonna run up against the independent nature. And he does the typical akita 'face saving act' where he will pretend to do something else while I call his name and he thinks about it and then all of a sudden "oh you called me?". Such a brat.

That and the whole lack of generalizing some things. Like GSDs will do a command anywhere. i started teach Strike 'bang bang' (which was a lot easier then expected and my bros thought he'd never learn) and I would only do it in the living room where there is a lot of space. So I tried it once downstairs and he just completely messed it up like he had no idea what I was asking. So i try to train everywhere now.
