I think it depends on the person and how much experience they have with a certain breed or just dogs in general. It also depends on the dog and how they are trained.

For me, out of my 3 dogs, I find Nebo the easiest to control...and he's the breed that should be hardest to control. Huskies are known to be independent, hard to train, etc. Plus he is a larger dog and much younger than the other two.

Reggie is a schnauzer, Smokey is a poodle....dogs you'd *think* would be easier....uhh no. Neither one of them listens very well to me....

The reasoning? I was just a kid when we got Reggie and Smokey, and I did not train them, nobody did. We didn't *teach* them how to behave. It's not their fault. And I personally trained Nebo and have worked with him. That's the difference.

p.s. Nebo *is* independent, and he wasn't hard to train really, more like hard to get him to listen when he's distracted.
