Which breed of dog has the best temperament for training?

You've asked an interesting question that many have wondered about. Perhaps another way to look at it is to ask - what is the best dog type to match me and my personality and lifestyle. When the pet and you are well matched the likelihood that bonding and training will be successful are much better.

That said, how do you determine the right dog or puppy match. First, ask yourself these questions and reply as honestly as possible: 1. Am I very active on a daily basis or am I more settled in and sedentary in my routines?

2.Do I spend time at home or do I perhaps work many hours out of the house or traveling?3. Am I prepared to commit to a dog for his or her lifetime, no matter what (up to 15 or more years for many breeds)?4. What kinds of behaviors do I expect that my dog will be able to learn and what behaviors will I NOT be able to tolerate?

After you respond, think about these things. Dogs, overall are eager to learn and most dogs can be taught to respond to voice and hand commands with patience and praise. The more time you spend with the dog, actively engaging him and 'teaching him' the better 'learner' he will be.

Also, give any dog a balance of positive social exposure and other experiences to learn about the world. Remember that negativity (punishment) can create fear and teach your dog to AVOID you and learning altogether. Certain breeds (mixes too!) have somewhat stronger desires to 'follow' you, such as retrievers (like labradors and goldens) and other working dogs like spaniels.

Herding and other working dog types, such as border collies are also great at learning and respond to challenging environments, but be aware that strong instincts to herd need to be channeled properly. It really depends on what kind of owner and trainer you'd like to be! Hope this helps.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
