Which Dogs Are Easy to House Train?

Hi everyone,

I am considering getting a new dog and would like to know which breeds are generally easier to house-train. Are there certain dogs that tend to pick up house training more quickly or have a reputation for being more reliable in this area?

A coonhound is what you would want if you wanted to train it to tree coons. However, good luck training a coonhound to, say, herd sheep.
People intended dogs to perform particular activities, which is why there are hundreds or thousands of different breeds of dogs. I want a herding dog of some kind if I want a dog to herd sheep. I want another one if I want it to hunt boars.

The Australian Shepard was by far the most easy dog to train. It was crazy how quickly they picked up on things.

Breeds like Labrador Retrievers, Poodles, Border Collies, and Shih Tzus are generally easy to house train due to their intelligence and eagerness to please. Consistent routines, positive reinforcement, and patience are key to success, regardless of the breed. Early training also helps in achieving better results.

Why not just get an already trained dog? Saves you so much time.
