Raising and training a puppy is an important aspect of their upbringing. Dogs don't always live up to their owners' expectations, and sometimes they prove difficult to handle. And you really wanted an obedient dog! The fact is, some breeds are known for their obedience, while others are not. We present five dog breeds that will understand you instantly.
Border Collie
The undisputed leader among obedient dogs—active, cheerful, non-aggressive, and great with children and other pets. The breed was developed to help shepherds look after their sheep. At home, family members, especially small children, become the flock, as they need protection more than anyone else.
It's worth remembering that dogs of this breed are very active and thrive on long walks outdoors, especially games like frisbee. They can also learn commands through play.
Poodle
Dogs of this breed are more often seen performing than others. Circus poodles perform a variety of tricks, responding to every word from their trainer. This is not surprising, as these dogs are very intelligent. They are easily trained—they learn a command within two or three tries. They also understand words. They get along well with children and love walks and baths.
Historically, this is explained by the fact that poodles were bred as hunting dogs for water work. Nowadays, the breed is generally considered a toy pet.
German shepherd
The most recognizable breed in the world, often serving in the military, customs, and police. These dogs are highly intelligent, not only understanding commands but also able to make independent decisions when necessary.
Training German Shepherds requires patience and, sometimes, cunning. Training should be regular, and the earlier it begins, the better. Dogs of this breed are very attached to their owners and respect their authority. Even children as young as 10 or 11 years old can begin training.
Golden Retriever
This dog is kindness personified! Extremely patient with younger family members and other animals. Obedient, non-aggressive, and highly intelligent. Experts say 95% of retrievers obey commands the first time.
Pets eagerly follow their owner's orders and respond to opportunities to play, especially if the games involve water. Like poodles, retrievers were bred for water hunting. Even a child can train them at home. However, if you plan to train your dog to hunt game, it's best to enlist the help of a dog trainer.
Doberman
A large, intelligent service dog. It responds quickly to human commands but does not tolerate rudeness. It chooses one owner—preferably an adult, not a child.
Dobermans are extremely wary of strangers, sometimes even aggressive. However, this is often due to a lack of training. Dogs of this breed, like other service dogs, require regular training, preferably from an early age. Walks and exercise are also essential, as Dobermans are extremely active.
Even if a dog has the potential to be the most obedient and is a representative of the breeds mentioned above, it still requires attention, training and, of course, love.
