Anyone knows which is the easiest/fastest to train — dog, parrot, horse, dolphin or others?

parrot training
Universal Love+Truth asked:


Which breed and what are the easy or cool tricks? Answer for just one of the pets is still acceptable, if detailed. Thanks for sharing! :-))

    No matter if your pet is smart or whatever, you need patience with any pet. Theres not certain breed. It all depends on your dogs personality. It could be a lab and be lazy while a lot of labs are active. It could be a shihtzu and be so active when most just love staying on the couch. Explain the trick, show them how to do it, and make hand motions like directions on how they do it.

    there is a new implant available on the black market allowing you to control any animal. its simple cheap and very easy to control. No tests have been done on humans as of yet. however dont tell anyone but i put one in my flatmate. its great, i never have to do a thing!

    The question doesnt really make much sense, because :

    1. A “dog” covers both a beagle and a collie, one is notoriously hard to train, the other notoriously easy. And a parrot covers both a budgerigar and a macaw, one of which is of much superior intelligence and can be taught a lot more.

    2. Ease of training has a lot to do with “understanding” the animal in question, they all have variable psychology, and training will depend on understanding the species you are working with. For example, pack instinct in dogs, the flight instinct in a horse, or the failure of a parrot to understand punishment.

    Ive bred dogs for years and have taught some pretty cool tricks. examples: snap my fingers, dog gets me beer out of fridge, hold up hand dog runs to door and barks, wave my hand dog rolls over untill i stop waving… the list goes on and on. moral of the story, a simple book taught me how to do it.. maybe its an interest..maybe not.

    I’ve trained dogs, horses, and dolphins. Out of those three, dolphins were my favorite. They’re super intelligent, and learn really quickly. They also don’t get ornery like horses or distracted like dogs. What horse can do a flip in the air?
