| I think they are both the same. I also think it is easier to train two or more than just one.

| Never had a girl...just boys...one was horrible, a nightmare to train, then there is Winston who was a dream, he was simple, easy to train...so smart and caught on so quickly!!! They were total opposites.

| I've had some very smart dogs, both male and female, that were a breeze to train and some that were not the brightest bulbs that were impossible (again both male and female). It's the individual dog that makes the difference.

I Love My Lil' Punkin's Donating Member | I can say - FOR SURE - that my male is soooooo MUCH easier to train than my female! And that's with EVERYTHING (not just house training) I'm talking teaching tricks, etc. Although when I think about it, my male is just extremely, extremely SMART. He will learn ANYTHING you teach him so quick! I have never in my life owned a dog as smart as he is...and I've had alot of dogs in my time!

| Well I think my girl is more intelligent than my boys, and she was definatly easier to train but I guess it depends on the dog. |

| I think it depends on the dog. I had lots of girl dogs growing up and Kingston is just as smart as they were. |

| Mia, my girl, is/was much easier than Yoshi, my boy. But, I agree it depends on the individual dog.

It's a Yorkie Thing Donating Member | I now have one of each, both young and in the potty stage age. Niether are catching on quickly. They do great during the day when I'm gone use potty pads in thier area, but when I get home and let them out, they then go where ever in the house they want to. Ideas anyone????

| I have a girl and two boys. Gracie was by far easier to train and I might go so far as to say she is smarter. The flip side is the boys are way more loving.
