No truer words spoken. It takes work, but it is worth it. Of course, it takes a lot less work when you have a highly trainable dog like a German Shepherd as opposed to a Beagle. Training a GSD the basics doesn’t take much time at all, but the downside is that they need training many other breeds don’t need, such as problem barking, over protective guarding and separation anxiety. So, you can’t win for losing I guess.
I have been around big dogs that were really well trained, had well trained labs. Being around a well trained dog is a pleasure. But I have never have been around a well trained small or miniature dog. They must exist, I have seen them in shows and TV. I wonder if brain size has anything to do with it, or they just weren’t originally bred for training like working/hunting dogs or what.
