Are Akbash dogs easy to train?

No, Akbash dogs aren’t particularly easy to train compared to other breeds that may be much more motivated by treats and play. However, you can still use positive reinforcement and relationship-based training to communicate and teach cues. 

For a highly independent breed like the Akbash, it’s important not to force training sessions on them. Instead, prioritize choice and find ways to gently engage with them. You may find that you need to use high-value snacks, such as bits of fresh meat, to keep their attention.
