Bloodhounds are known for their big droop ears and long wrinkled faces, but they’re also known for being headstrong, curious, and loving. You can train a bloodhound, but as a breed, they are not exactly a star in the obedience ring.
They are wonderfully independent but they are just not very motivated to perform tricks and maneuvers for their own sake, but they might be more obedient if there’s a treat involved.
Basset Hound
Basset Hounds may be incredibly adorable, but they are also known to be notoriously stubborn, which makes training them quite a challenge. They may be very lovable, but their headstrong nature requires a lot of patience.
We have no doubt that adopting a Basset Hound to your home will make for a great addition, but just be prepared for their demanding character.
Beagles
Beagles are very obstinate and easily distracted. Most people automatically take a liking to beagles, but only once they've been trained. Beagles are clever and require a lot more stimulation than most breeds.
Their independent nature also means that obedience doesn't come easy to them but once they have been trained, they make for a loving member of the family.
Fox Terriers
Fox Terriers are fearless and have a reasonable amount of energy. Essentially, they have two moods: either they can be very lazy and want to sleep, or they are energy bunnies and have a lot of energy to exert.
Training can be demanding with a fox terrier puppy, as they are known to have a peppery personality.
Irish Setter
Irish setters have a very high energy level. With their high spirits can make it difficult to train them for long periods. Shorter training sessions are most suitable for these upbeat yet gentle dogs.
The Irish setter stays a puppy for a long time, this means that an Irish setter will keep its adorable puppy personality for longer than other breeds, which also means more work training him, as well.
