The Least Obedient Dog Breeds

Bluthunde

They are high-energy dogs that require plenty of daily exercise. This makes them great companions for people who enjoy getting out and exploring in dog-friendly areas! Like many breeds, Bloodhounds can be difficult to train. To ensure success, consistency and patience should be used in training sessions along with positive reinforcement.

Chow Chow

Chows are strong-willed, independent dogs who don't necessarily want to be pets or cuddle buddies. They require a lot of love and training to become confident, but also possess remarkable resilience and independence. When they are puppies, you should train them from the beginning to help them develop good behavior. Otherwise, as they age and become more stubborn, this could make it harder to control.

Basenji

Basenjis don't bark, but they do express their emotions through yips and yodels. Additionally, these independent creatures will act out if they feel their needs are being ignored or misunderstood. According to The Intelligence of Dogs, Basenjis are the second least obedient breed when given human commands (behind only the Afghan Hound). Additionally, these energetic dogs should never be left alone for long periods of time without supervision.

Bassethund

Basset Hounds are often considered the least obedient dog breed, but they actually possess an incredibly loyal and devoted personality. Although they may seem aloof at first, these pups are actually very loyal and devoted to their families. They tend to be patient with children and other dogs if they have been properly socialized. Although they can be stubborn when training, they respond well to positive reinforcements such as treats.

Beagle

Beagles are canine hunters known for their skills in hunting small game, especially rabbits. Although they make excellent family pets and are friendly to everyone they meet, Beagles can be stubborn and difficult to train.
