The smartest dog of all, the Border Collie learns a new command in under five repetitions and can follow it at least 95% of the time.

Command obedience is more of a measure of neuroticism and slavishness.

I had a male husky that always learned in one repetition but would obey less than 1% of the time unless I was holding a treat. If i ever made him do a trick but didnt give him a treat he’d stop paying attention entirely. If i ever scolded him he’d stop paying attention and disobey harder. He started digging a hole in someone elses yard once because I scolded him for trying to pull to the side to sniff and piss on the curb for the 10th time that block. I gave him a leash pop and he growled at me, i smacked him, and he just refused to walk further. He didn’t show me any affection or excitement for months but was always excited to see other people. I felt horrible.

A border collie would never do this
A smart person would

From that day I treated that dog like a person instead of a “working animal” and didnt have further problems. But he also never 100% liked me ever again.

>muh workin dawg!
>doesnt farm sheep but if he did he’d have a fence and an ATV
>doesnt hunt but if he did he’d use a gun and bait or lures
>doesnt protect his property but if he did he’d get better locks, window film, cameras, and a gun
>isnt blind but if he was he’d try and get bionic eyes first
Working dogs are usually the worst way to do things
Except for pest control, because I dont have time to sit around with an air rifle waiting for a groundhog to show up in my garden
Spitzgods and terrierchads just let their dogs do their own thing and kill every mammal under 20lbs like a giant cat

My cattle dog can learn a new command in under 5 repetition but will decide never to do it again if he doesn't feel like it
