Three Most Difficult Dogs to Train. It's important to remember that every dog has its own personality and genetic makeup, so a lot of kindness and patience go a long way in teaching them obedience, problem-solving and socialization skills.
These are the 3 most disobedient dog breeds to train
1. Akita
Originally bred to guard royalty in Japan, Akitas were also used for hunting wild game. Although they are affectionate pups, their guarding instincts make them wary of strangers. Therefore, they need an experienced trainer to teach them how to interact with other people and animals.
Akitas are also known for having complex personalities, which makes them a challenge for obedience training. Due to their stubbornness, they are not recommended for novice dog owners, but if early training is successful, you'll have a loving companion for life.
2. Lakeland Terrier
Like other terriers, the Lakeland terrier is a bold, energetic dog that needs a lot of exercise and attention. They're intelligent dogs that get bored easily with repetition, so it is best to keep training sessions in short increments.
If these pups do become bored, they exhibit nuisance behavior such as repetitive barking and digging. This can be challenging for owners who are not accustomed to handling sensitive dogs. Consistent, firm training is advised at an early age for these pooches, but once achieved, the rewards can be endless.
3. Lhasa Apso
Although Lhasa apsos look like beautiful little lap dogs, they're one of the toughest and strong-willed canines of the smaller dog breed group. Their independence and stubborn nature may even require the help of a professional trainer to teach them obedience.
Lhasa apsos are comical pups that are also smart enough to charm their way out of any situation, so it's crucial to instill firm discipline when they are young. Use plenty of praise and doggy treats while training them, and they will end up being perfect family pets.
So. when you adopt your next companion animal, remember that every dog has its own personality and genetic makeup, so a lot of kindness and patience go a long way in teaching them obedience, and socialization skills.
