Our White Korean Jindo Dog Getting Ready for a Bath

She hates getting a bath, and half the battle used to be getting her into a tub. We've been working on that problem with treats and so far so good. She still looks miserable and displeased during the actual bath but at least we don't have to drag her in.

if i get a jindo from when she was first born do you thing i can train it to be socialized?

[ppoppya]

@therandomdude1999 : Definitely, yes. Knowing her breed, I think that you may have to socialize her for a lot longer and more often to make it really stick. However, the answer is yes. I wish I had had a chance to socialize my dog when she was young, but I didn't get her until she was about 8 months old and a lot of damage had been done already by her being tied up for the first 7-8 months of her life with zero socialization.

How long did it take for your Jindo to warm up to you after adopting her(assuming you did not raise her from a puppy)?

[ppoppya]

We got her when she was 8 months old and it took almost no time. We took a week off right after and took her everywhere including many walks.

Now she's almost three years old and judging from her interactions with overnight guests such as my in-laws who she had never met or with babysitters, she usually warms up after a few full days. Obviously, every dog's temperament is different.

Aww shes adorable :) Are jindos great pets? Id love to have one someday once i learn as much as possible bout them. I wud love to train one too its so fun to train dogs. How long did it take you to train your jindo?

[ppoppya]

Training in terms of teaching commands to a Jindo is just too easy. The tough part for us has been her prey drive and her aloofness around strangers. That seems to take constant positive training.

I like how she nonchalantly tries to walk away as soon as the water is turned on.

[Blueluvbug]

hahaha Jindos hate water. I have three jindo dogs and they are all deathly afraid of water since they were puppies. But you trained your dog so well! She's so well behaved =D

[jedole]

Anyone know why exactly Jindos hate water? Is this just a characteristic of the breed?

[Bohninja]

how can you obtain a jindo? i heard they are very difficult to find.

[LaikaCameBack]

@justusquiver Heh, mine just gets this horribly tragic "I Accept My Fate" look on her face (she's very "Omega" compared to other Jindos, but that's what you get for being owner #7 of the runt of a semi-feral litter).

[TheFunnysamnoob333]

@TheFunnysamnoob333 So feed it healthy dog food from trusted brands from petsmart. And take good care off it. It is a lovely dog it is the best freind you shall ever make. But you must be responsible. YOU MUST BE RESPONSIBLE THIS IS COMING FROM A GUY THAT OWNS 4 OF THESE GREAT CREATURES!!!!

[TheFunnysamnoob333]

@Jindovi Make sure you are fully aware that this is a precious dog. It is a treasure from korea. You must not cross breed. And if you have any other dogs do not get this dog. Because it will bully the other dogs. Even if that other dog is 2 times bigger. You must walk it. And you must be able to be alert because when you let this dog outside without a leash it will run away and taunt you. It is smart enough to find its way back home. But there is a chance it may get injured or killed.

Nice and cute dog. :)

Oh man I have a Jindo and washing her is a battle. She's fourteen now and she still puts up a huge struggle whenever it's time for a bath.

[swordsmith54]

@bagleyy Sounds like you need a squirrel for you bathtub.

[pink017]

Your family has done a fantastic job in training ppobya and she seems very happy and content..which is proof of how well you have raised her! This makes me miss my own 2 jindo dogs.. they're in dog heaven now~ they ran away twice but found their way back home by themselves. I tear up whenever I think about how loyal and loving they were to me, my family, and friends.
