9. Basenjis

Basenjis don't do well with long training sessions, so short bursts of instruction with a focus on commands and reinforcement will be best for this breed. They're clever and not prone to barking, but their intelligence means they will enjoy innovative ideas for play and training. Since this breed is agile and hard to catch when they're off-leash, proper on-leash training is a must before an owner can even consider play off-leash in an open space.
