Training dogs isn’t easy. There are certain breeds that are highly trainable, but their ability to follow your command largely depends on three factors: the breed’s ancestry, the effectiveness of your training methods and the type of commands the dog is getting from you. This is why getting to know your puppy breeder is pivotal.
If all three factors fall into place, you can enjoy an amicable friend, who will do whatever it takes to keep you safe and comfortable. However, if, for example, your commands are against the dog’s nature, you might find yourself struggling to keep the dog on the leash.
Intelligence in dogs usually equals high trainability so check out this list of super smart dog breeds to help you choose the devoted life companion:
1. Australian Labradoodle
You can’t go wrong with Australian Labradoodles! These dogs are so intelligent that they hardly need any training at all. They are smart and open to new experiences. Their social nature allows them to enjoy family activities, but they will remain alert and guard your kids’ safety.

This is a herding dog, so Australian Shepherd will get bored and even destructive if he doesn’t have work to do. They are always up for a physical activity, exercise or herding.
10. Shetland Sheepdog
Shelties can’t sit still. They will keep themselves busy, entertained and create a lively atmosphere for the whole family. If you don’t have much time to train them, they will still take on a role of a carer, making sure the kids are safe and cats are kept at a distance.

A beautiful breed, Dobermans are very easy to train. They also have a very good memory. Even though this dog breed has a bad reputation, when trained properly, he can become a great watchdog and an easy-going companion.
