1. Beagle
They can find you in any game of hide-and-seek. They can sniff out contraband in airports. But they can’t seem to nail down housebreaking. According to experts, the breed doesn’t have the best score when it comes to the spectrum of canine intelligence for working ability.
After all, beagles are hounds, so they exhibit a focused, one-track mind instinct that can be difficult to temper. They also tend to be excitable dogs with a short attention span, so they get easily distracted and have a rather selective memory.
While it’s challenging to potty train a beagle, with patience and proper training, your feisty beagle will master the bathroom!
2. Biewer Terrier
Biewer terrier dogs have a childlike, fun-loving attitude that makes them wonderful companions for people of all ages. This is a great breed with many great qualities. They quickly make friends with animals of any origin.
They are so fun and cute, but they are also smarter than you think. Not to mention that they can also be a bit stubborn, since they’re, after all, terriers. Being very intelligent, they’re easy to train, although housebreaking may take a little longer, and owners need more patience than with other dog breeds.
3. American Foxhound
An American foxhound has high energy levels and strong hunting instincts. These dogs have an innate drive to explore their environment and follow scents.
They’re easily distracted, and their endless energy prevents them from focusing on the tasks. According to experts, American foxhounds aren’t the easiest breed to potty train. Housebreaking these independent souls can be a real challenge for novice owners.
Moreover, their independent nature means that they might often resist a regular schedule. You’ve been warned!

I was a Cocker Spaniel owner and mine was very skiddish. He had problems with submissive urination. It was difficult to attach his leash because of this. My Vet advised me to Raise my hand up like I was going to hit him, then bring it down with a treat. That trick is what I used to attach his leash. But once he was house broken, he didn’t have “accidents”, just the submissive urination.
Great article! And, wouldn’t you know? We live with two Jacks!
