@@TedH71 It's true if there is NOTHING for them to do. But they can easily be suitable for homes. I've had border collies for years and I don't have sheep or cows. I live in the suburbs and have a relatively small yard. I do walk my dog a lot. We average @ 5 miles a day. I do it as much for me as for her. I also play fetch with her twice a day till she is exhausted. ( tennis ball or Frisbee - I let her choose.) We also have two 10 minute training sessions and she knows nearly 100 tricks and is a perfect Lady around other dogs and people. Border Collies are great dogs for all environments. But just like Jack Russels, Weimaraners, Ridgebacks, GSD's etc. they thrive on exercise.
My dog, Ivy, is a shelter mutt. She was a year old when I got her and she came to Minnesota as a transfer from a kill shelter in Tennessee. Within a day she already knew her name that I gave her, knew how to sit, she doesn't run away, never peed in the house, never chews anything up, and she gets along with the cats. I went to the shelter with the idea of getting a 2 year old chiweenie, thinking that would be the perfect dog for my lifestyle since I have a small home and a small yard. But this 45 lb. sweetheart stole my heart and I tell her everyday how lucky I am that I have her in my life.
I feel the same. I had to put my dog down nine years ago. I'm still not ready to get another dog. It's only now that I'm able to visit her grave again, but I have moved to New Zealand since then and her grave is in Tasmania, and because of Covid I haven't been able to see it yet. So I know exactly how you feel. I still miss her. She was a corgi cross. For some reason now, I have been learning about other toy breeds.
Border Collies are always among the most represented in AKC obedience trials. They are possessed of a high energy level and they are eaier to train than to keep. Ditto Australian Cattle dogs. Doberman Pinschers, Briards, Bouviers des Flandards, Giant Schnauzers, Bernese Moutain Dogs, or almost any other large (non-Mastiff) working breed could make the list. In my experience, Rottweilers are super to train. Can't argue with the Pumi because I've never even seen one in real life. But how could you miss the Chihuahua? Most of the "lap" breeds take well to training. Havanese, Maltese, Coton du Tulears, Bijon Frise, and others are all very dependent on human interaction and can be trained to a high level. If they don't train you first.
I’m not sure the first dog you highlighted in the ‘Sheltie’ section was truly a Sheltie or at least not purebred, looked more like border collie. I agree with several others that commented about other working class breeds that could have been included on this list. I grew-up training Collies in Dog Obedience Classes and as an adult became Dog Obedience Judge (not full-time job, just on the side for fun mostly), my Mom was Class Teacher for several years & both my sisters did D.O. Training & Teaching. We loved Collies for this type of competition and even though they are ‘Pleasers’ , you have to practice everyday. Practice, Praise, Persistence, Perseverance, & I’m missing one, are the 5 P’s of D.O. Video Suggestion(unless you have done it): Different types of dog training & showing i.e. dog obedience vs. composition, open-utility vs. agility, or something. And the breeds of dogs best suited for each. Like Whippet breed should not really be used in competitive dog obed. because their bodies are not made for correct sitting position. That’s not to say that all dogs can and should be taught basic heal, sit down, etc. commands. I also like the ratties/JRT’s one you did. Owned, raised & rescued Ratties & Imo they are just a great all-around , fearless, tough dog. And the AKC did not accept until 2010 or 2012. Why?? The JRT’s in your video were beautiful though. Thanks for videos- I’ll keep watching.
Springer, obviously. They’re extremely eager to learn. They love positivity. You don’t need a lot of skill to train most of the gun dog group-just lots of praise.
Thanks for the countdown. My first Lab must have been an outlier - almost too smart for her own good - a Houdini all the way. Most fences, locks, harnesses or halters couldn't keep her for long.
My little Eskie will learn anything for a treat. Sometimes it's like she reads my mind and does things I want her to do and haven't trained her for. My family thinks she understand English!
My last dog was looked a lot like a border collie or shetland sheep dog. But it turned out that she was actually a mix of mostly beagle, parson terrier, afghan hound, basset hound, dalmatian. She was very easy to train too. :)
You forgot to put the Pug on this list. I have had pugs, along with other breeds and mutts, all my life. The pugs I shared my home as a young adult on ward, were very East to house train and manners train. Very clean dogs if you don’t mind the shedding. My pugs were potty trained by 6 months and puppy class trained by 12 months.
Im getting a gsd lab mix soon, does anyone know how easy to train will he be? Ive heard that they're fast learners, and im hoping thats true, he's going to be trained as a service dog so i dont want a dog thats too difficult to train
Both breeds are very smart and easy to train, but GSD is not for people that don’t have experience with that breed. They will try to outsmart you. This is mentioned in this video. They are alphas by nature, combine that with smarts and you will have your hands full. They will look for a weakness and take advantage of it when they find one. I always think of them as toddlers (they have intelligence of one), and they will act as one if you don’t assert dominance from the beginning. In the other hand labs are smart and easy to train but they don’t have the intensity, protectiveness of GSD which makes GSDs difficult to train by someone that is not experienced with this breed. Mixed dogs have dominant personality from one or the other parent. Observe your dog and you’ll see which side your dogs is leaning to. Training a German Shepherd can be really fun for you and your dog if he knows that you are the boss, in return you’ll have the best, easy to train puppy.
Collies are the best :) I'm still waiting for my puppy I can't wait! I've never seen such a beautiful and well mannered pack of dogs than these rough collies I visited. They are so eager to please you
The Miniature Schnauzer loves its people, is eager to please & is an easy to train dog. Caveat: it is a terrier & should be leashed or in a fenced yard at all times.
@@milanka882 Sorry you had that experience. Were you familiar with the dog? Do you know if the dog might have been stressed, in pain or felt trapped? All reasons for bites...
Around 1000 years ago they were close, but then they got divided. "The Swedish Vallhund is an ancient, national dog breed of Sweden and may date back to the 8th or 9th century. Swedish Vallhunds originated in the county of Västergötland, which lies just south of lake Vänern. Here the small dog proved to be excellent for watching, guarding and herding. The breed dates to the Viking settlement of England and is thought to have played a part in the development of the modern Welsh Corgi and the Lancashire Heeler. According to the American Kennel Club, another theory of the breed's origin is that during the eighth or ninth century "either the Swedish Vallhund was brought to Wales or the Corgi was taken to Sweden, hence the similarities between the two breeds"
Please help to select a best dog for my life style. I live single in a condo and I am out for work for at least 10 hours in a day. I need a dog that behaves when it left alone and barks less (Don't want to be nuisance for neighbors). Small breeds are preferred. Please help me I want a dog in my life
I agree, it seems a long time to leave the dog alone for. And a lot of small dogs don't like being left alone that long. Perhaps another option is to look into getting a cat.
Out of all the dogs I've had including Cockers, Pit Bull, Lab, Aussie, Doberman and Basset/cattle dog mixes - the Pit Bull was the easiest to train. Then the Dobie, then the Lab, then the Aussie, then the cockers … my mixes are pretty hopeless lol!
Are you kidding me? :D 1) What da hell.... why are there Border Collie and Rough Collie pictures while talking about Sheltie(Nr.9. in your list Shetland Sheepdog) - makes no sense! Also ... 2) Why are Border Collie and Aussie left out of this video(besides those wrong pics instead of Sheltie) ??? Only myb cuz they are highly about all of those mentioned? Border collies only what - Nr.1. smartest dog breed by any standards .... so weird :D
They are not on the list for the same reason he didn’t want to include GSDs. They are easy to train for experienced people, not a novice, and someone who is not familiar with a breed. They call them German Shepherds on crack for a reason. This is why so many dogs end up in shelters. People watch videos, read stories about these dogs, not knowing much about their temperament. These dogs are really intense, and they are not for average person.
Is your dog easy to train? What kind of dog is it?
I had an Australian Shepherd that was super easy
@@mountainmama7155 They are very smart dogs.
Um do you have a boder terri
@@filibertolara1665 I do and would definitely have more.
A mongrel of St bernard akita descent. It took a while to train him.
Easy to train ? Why yes, I am. My dog had me trained in no time at all.
Joe My Jack Russell makes me fetch !
I was surprised that the Border Collie didn't place #1 on the list.
Border Collie... they are easy as heck to train... I potty trained my in 1 day of home being home. Never had an accident.
Where are all the border collies they are extremely trainable
Yes my border collies mix is really smart and really easy to train.
They're not suitable for homes that literally have nothing for them to do.

I love toy poodles!😍
Same
My sister has a toy poodle, and he's a doll; he's a really sweet dog.

Thanks for the countdown. My first Lab must have been an outlier - almost too smart for her own good - a Houdini all the way. Most fences, locks, harnesses or halters couldn't keep her for long.
I have a labrador retriever and she is the sweetest dog ever. Bonus: she was extremely easy to train.
Jessica Williams ❤❤❤ Great dogs!
I have a Labrador retriever
My Papillon is amazing in every way and she is particularly good with our Siamese cats. Definitely one of the easier breeds we have had.
My little Eskie will learn anything for a treat. Sometimes it's like she reads my mind and does things I want her to do and haven't trained her for. My family thinks she understand English!
I’ve had 2 boxers and both were extremely easy to train. Very good with children too.

Where would you put the American Eskimo
Like most of the Spitz breed I'd put them toward the difficult side. They are smart and can learn easily, but they are strong-willed and independent.
1:35 is a border collie & 1:40 is a Collie. Pls do some more research with that video material and how the dogs really look like.
Im getting a golden retreiver And i want to know how to train him
Why were we seeing more footage of the Border Collie during the Shetland Sheepdog segment?
The Standard Poodle is second easiest to train and the Border Collie is number one
The Mini Schnauzer is a very easy & fun dog to train.
Cocker poo is a easy dog to train they are always left out. They don't shed and real smart.
Boder collie or golden retriever is the smartest dog one of them have to be on number one list
The Miniature Schnauzer loves its people, is eager to please & is an easy to train dog. Caveat: it is a terrier & should be leashed or in a fenced yard at all times.
The only time I ever have been bitten by a dog was a miniature schnauzer. I still have the scars. I'm still wary of anything with schnauzer in it now.
@@milanka882 Sorry you had that experience. Were you familiar with the dog? Do you know if the dog might have been stressed, in pain or felt trapped? All reasons for bites...
what about the boxer breed i had a male boxer he was easy loving boy
Boxers are pretty much average when it comes to training.
I love G S D. Love from India.

Bobby Biker dont get a dog if all of that is what youre working with.
Bobby, look into weather or not if you can take a small dog to work. Ten hours a day may not be good.
Mine rides in a custom made box, on the back of my Iron Head XLH.

Where is the Belgium malinois ?
I have a dog that is part poodle and she is so smart well sometimes (breed:cockapoo part American cocker and mini poodle)
No Australian Shepherd??
Why do you have video of a border collie in number 9
I’ve never seen and even tempered poodle ever.
I think that the breeding for looks has hurt them. A real old-fashioned standard poodle is a super smart and interactive with people
"Which is quicker than I can learn" 😂
Where are belgian malinois? They are easy to train as well.
You missed the Boxer
You did miss the Boxer how can you forget you never mention Boxer
Yeah sometimes it just depends on the individual dog.
1:25 That’s *NOT* a Shetland Sheepdog! Pls if you’re going to show videos of a certain dog breed at least do it correctly.
Australian cattle dogs are one of the most intelligent and easiest to train dogs there is.
Border Terrier is unknown?!? That's Seymour from Futurama!!! :D
LOL... :D
Jack Russell terrier is highly intelligent and very easy to train
Labradoodle!! I have two of the easiest dogs combined!
Rodehovede Delux ❤❤❤ Very true.
They're glorified mutt crossbred. The original creator of the so called breed wishes he had never crossed the two breeds.
Doberman
shih tzu belongs on that list.
Is Rottweiler not easy to train?
Bro I don't need your like, I want the answer
I have met some dogs that are smart and easy to train but the problem for them was that they did not want to listen😬

Toy. Breeds difficult? Never been around a cavalier King Charles spaniel I guess. Some of your information and images were wrong in this video.
doberman
Big mistake. The Border Collie is number 1 in training, and everything else. Do your homework.
what belgian malinois is not in this list man theyve been used for police escort come on cuz
