Is the Rhodesian Ridgeback capable of doing obedience work?
The Rhodesian Ridgeback can be taught to obey obedience commands, provided the trainer respects the dog’s individual personality and adapts the training accordingly. The Ridgeback can become bored with constant repetition, and tends to “tune out” when he has had enough. Exercises must be kept short, fresh, and interesting, and should always be ended on a high note. Many patient owners have been rewarded with advanced obedience titles, dispelling the myth that a hound will not do obedience.
