Animal expert unveils the easiest dog breeds to train for family life


Mark Vette, an animal behaviour expert who has worked with dogs on TV shows like Pooch Perfect, has shared his top picks for the easiest dog breeds to train

"I'm not looking at the most highly intelligent breeds who would best excel at agility or high-level training challenges," he clarified, pointing out that some of the brainiest dogs might not be the best match for newbie pet parents. "Standard, miniature, and toy poodles are known for their ability to grasp commands quickly, making them excellent family pets," the expert noted. "However, while they're sharp and easy to train, they require plenty of activity and exercise to stave off boredom and frustration, and their guarding instinct calls for a confident owner to keep it in check."
