Last week in puppy class, I casually mentioned that Ace is a bit harder to train than Colby was because he doesn't have that "need-to-please" mentality that she has. She is (and has always been) very serious and a piece of cake to train. She'll work for ANYTHING. The trainer stopped short and went off on a rant about how "No dog in the world does anything to make a person happy or sad or mad and if they did they'd be the ones running the world and we'd be in crates."
To an extent, I can see her point. It's probably true for many dogs (like her doberman, AHEM), but I disagree with her. If there is any dog smart enough to do things to get a particular reaction out of you, it's a Border Collie.
I held my tongue and figured that it'd be best to agree to disagree...but I had to bring this up to you all. What do you think?
