Are They Easy To Train ?

Serengeti Ridgebacks - FAQ's Page
Ridgebacks are an intelligent breed and will learn quickly, but like many hounds may become bored, as they are independent thinkers. They are a large breed and obedience training, along with animal and human socialization is to be encouraged. If you are looking for a breed winning at obedience trials Rhodesian Ridgebacks may not be the breed for you.

Border Terrier Frequently Asked Questions
The BT is a willing breed who wishes to please. This makes it easy to train basic house manners such as housebreaking, walking on a leash, leaving garbage alone, leaving clothes and kids' toys alone, not jumping on people or furniture, sitting and staying and coming when called, (barring the presence of a squirrel or rabbit). If your ambitions are to compete in AKC obedience trials, training becomes more challenging, though very rewarding.

Are they easy to house train?

FAQ's
Most BMCs are very clean animals that don't like to soil their space. Crate training a puppy or dog is highly recommended for those times when you cannot directly supervise the dog. Later the puppy will be old enough to be trusted alone in the house. Except at night when he should go to sleep, do not use to crate for longer than three to four hours in the day. Nor should you use it as punishment as the puppy will view the crate as discipline and hate going into it.

Are they easy to potty train?

FAQ
I think so. With basic techniques, consistency, patience and love, it’s a rather fast process. This is an owner thing and this ball is in your court. Cavaliers do not have the normal aggressive male behavior. Both the male and female are loving, kind and dedicated. When you neuter your male it should solve any unuttered problems. All responsible pet owners should neuter/spay their pets.

Are Black Mouth Curs smart and easy to train?

FAQ's
Well, yes, the BMC is very smart, but no they aren't necessarily easy to train if you mean you can just take a BMC that doesn't know you and quickly train it. BMCs by nature need to bond a few weeks with the trainer before training begins. Too many people get in a rush and try to intimidate or force a BMC to do something before the bond has been established. Very often a BMC is sensitive to rough treatment or harsh corrections and if you try force training, a BMC will rebel in various ways.

Are Staffords easy to train?

Beginners Start Here/Frequently Asked Questions
Staffords are a very intelligent dog and do try to please; however the more of them kept together the more difficult training becomes, but a single puppy shouldn't be too much trouble at all. At all times keep your expectations "in the real world". It may take six months before your puppy is house-trained, so don't expect it to be clean overnight from the moment you get it home.

Afghan Hound Club of Canada - Afghan FAQ
No they are not. The Afghan is a free thinker. This was a necessity in a dog bred to course big cats. Afghans can outrun just about anything on rocky and uneven ground, and were often left to themselves in the "catch." While an Afghan is very intelligent and cunning, he will use this to his own advantage. The trick is to make your Afghan think that whatever you wish him to do is really his own idea, and then to praise him for being so smart.

Are German shepherds smart and easy to train?

Frequently Asked Questions about German Shepherds
Yes and no to both. Most GSD's are eager and willing to learn and enjoy training sessions (don't overdo with a young pup - they just don't have the attention span). If you start young and teach your puppy its order in your "pack", problems with training will be minimized. However, GSD's tend to have more dominant personalities than some breeds and can be stubborn, so some care in training is recommended. Classes are extremely beneficial.
