Any breed can seem useless,disobedient,headstrong,you just need to form good habits, if a dog is let off the lead too much it will not not see that it's place is by your side,never let a pup do something that you don't want it to do when it's an adult,I have a boreder/lakelandxwhippet,she was so hard to train,she's 2 1/2 now and not been worked, she now walks to heel through ppl kids dogs chickens, retrieves to hand jumps, responds to whispered commands,
Just keep it on the lead if it's disobedient, train it while it's on the lead, never let it see any prey till it's trained to the standard
