Are Borzoi trainable?
Of course they are. They are, generally speaking, intelligent and willfull. They do not have the overwhelming need to please your every whim and often they would prefer that you pleased their whims. On the other hand, I think it is a terrible misconception that it is difficult (or impossible) to obedience train a Borzoi. It is a matter of keeping the dog motivated and keeping training sessions short and upbeat. Your dog’s motivation is a personal thing, some dogs are highly motivated by food, others by praise, others by play.
