Easy to Train Dog Breds

Gundogs (Pointers, Setters, Spaniels and Retrievers), some Terriers, and most Spitz-type dogs (except the Laika dogs, Finnish Spitz, Swedish Lapphund, Black Norwegian Elkhound, German Spitz, German Wolfspitz, Eurasier, Chow, Nordic Spitz and Japanese dogs) are generally highly trainable, while primitive dogs, such as the Dingo, Canaan dog and Podenco Canario are usually not easy to obedience train.
