What the current scores canâand cannotâshow
Trainability is not the same as intelligence or obedience. The available 3/5 and 4/5 scores indicate general responsiveness, while stubbornness, attention span and a preferred training style require more specific evidence. Reward-based, consistent training and early socialization are appropriate starting principles.
