Lee Gahagan Posted May 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 i have heard they are not particularly good at learning/following commands, although they are very intelligent.. is this true? and if so is there any tried and tested technique that works with them as i have had other dogs but know these are a breed all to their own.

26nikita Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 She is beautiful! Can't wait to see pics of her as she grows! Training will not be the issue, your girl will be able to learn anything you want to teach her. The struggle is getting them to follow a command when they don't feel like it.

James Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 awww she is a cutie! Teaching Sibes commands isn't hard...its quite eaasy infact, getting them to listen to the commands after a while it where the challegne lies, They get bored easy and will stop doing commands for the sake of praise. This is a general conscensus, However each dog can present an exception to the rule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
