In general I wouldn't call them a shy breed if well socialized. They love to play and they're very obnoxious players. They love to wrestle and bitey-face and can be a bit overenthusiastic.

Joey was a breeze to train. He picked things up very quickly and he's very food motivated so that helps. He was the first dog I'd ever trained so he was pretty forgiving of my inexperience. Lucy, is a bit of a challenge. She's very easily distracted so it's a harder to keep her attention. I think that's more of a personality thing though.
