Miley being my first dog that isn't a herding breed that I've ever trained I'll admit she seems right stupid sitting next to my boys. Bandit is more stubborn than Spanky (who will do anything you ask simply because you ask) but even he does things at lightning speed in comparison. She isn't stupid though. She lacks the will to please a human and remains placid regardless of what you are doing.

I would probably get along with Paps very easily(you know, you have really made me interested in the breed)!

I have to say, Peaches is not food motivated at all. During all her obedience training her 'reward' was a tennis ball. In public, she does not like to eat(really odd thing about her, ever since she was a pup), so I resorted to tossing her tennis ball as the reward. Worked wonderfully for agility with her, after she did a run(no competition, just fun classes) I would toss her ball. Of course, she loved agility so much...there were times she couldn't handle watching other dogs do their run so she would dart in and start doing the course herself:yikes:. She sounds like your paps. She does everything because she wants to, she has no interest in food or any real reward other then being told 'good girl' and being praised.
You probably would get along with them easily! Like shelties, they're pretty sensitive and really smart and really devoted to their people- actually mine are a LOT more so. Someone called them 'superattached' once, and I think that's pretty accurate.

Peaches sounds a lot more like the paps temperament wise than either of my shelties. Though the shelties are typically more obsessive. Beau is super toy obsessed though. To the point that when he'd see a dog with a toy, he'd get overexcited.

Trey is really only food driven (he is not a dog that enjoys petting or anythign like that) and Nikki just doesn't care to listen anymore in her old age. Both were easy to train but they seemed to want more in it for them than the paps do, lol!

the families current dogs:

the cocker: easiest dog in the world to train, he was 10 weeks from a pet shop when we got him (pet shop was sending him back cause he handt sold and a friend whent and picked him up so he woudlnt have to go back, she couldnt keep him so we got him...)
hed NEVER been outside of a pen so we were expecting a problem housebreaking...since day one...not an accident...ok i lie, theres been like 2 but those were the result of a VERY upset tummy. he picks up on things incredibly quickly and LIVES to please...

a dog that wants to please its person is easier to train than one that loves you but asks why?!

the chis: very easy to TEACH, but there stubborn and getting them to do somehting requires bribery much of the time. (or only when they want it) the chis have ups and downs, basic commands were easy but teaching them QUIET was tough...

the cresti...
probably the most inteligent of the pack...but i swear shes a sighthound...she asks WHY...the cogs are always working she figures things out easy but ask her to do something...
playing fetch is impossible because she watches you throw the ball then looks up at you and if you could read her mind it would say something like this "very good human...now go get it!"
she knows many tricks...most of them she taught herself...but she usess them when SHE wants to.

Yuppers, my corgis learn things very quickly. It's the getting them to do those things that gets interesting.

Morgan is the type that - when training - if you do it once, she starts to think about it, if you do it a second time, she understands it, if you do it a third time, she figures out a way to not do it.
OH. Yes. I agree with that one. Lol

I have found my jrts very easy to train but Petie is the the exception.
He is amazingly easy to train and is always very motivated but the problems that have come up are the times I have made a mistake........
The worst mistake I ever made was pretending I had a reward for him and then not producing it when he gave me the desired behaviour.........whoa big mistake, you can fool him once but never again and he doesn't forget nor forgive lol.

It is important to note that all dog breeds can be trained to learn and obey commands. You’ll see just about every dog breed competing in obedience competitions. However, these breeds (listed above) learn training commands faster than other dog breeds do. This means that training them is a lot easier and requires a lot less patience and time. Just because these breeds learn faster than other breeds doesn’t mean they are more intelligent. Unless, you’re definition of “intelligence†of a dog is “it’s ability to learn training commands quicklyâ€.

Some of the dogs I've had that were easiest to train was Buddy, our brindle pit bull. And Charlie, our Beagle. Believe it or not, Beagles want to impress you and LOVE to work it! :D
