People often ask; “what is the most obedient breed of dog?” but the truth is that obedience really isn't something that is bred into a breed. Obedience is born of training, and successful training is born of time and patience on the part of the owner and mutual respect between dog and owner.
Any dog will be obedient if you educate yourself and invest 5-20 minutes everyday in training the dog, or take him through a session or two of formal classes. A dog has to be educated as to what "obedient" is before he can act that way!
As for being trainable, that's really up to you and how you raise a pup. (If you choose to get a puppy) "Trainability" is largely relative. If your definition of a trainable dog is one that lives to please you, a retriever is probably for you, but if you have patience and are willing to train a dog with a mind of it's own (i.e. what many people call untrainable) the rewards can be much greater.
Keep in mind there are people out there showing
every breed in advanced levels of obedience
and there are dogs being turned into breed rescue
because they "just don't behave"-
the difference isn't the dogs' attitudes, it's
the owners'.
