get a monkey

there are lots of dogs that are smart i think that mutts are smarter than full breds and i also think that toy dogs are hard to train

Poodles are supposed to be among the smartest dogs to train. Also labs and German shepards make good candidates. For example as seeing eye dogs or police K9's respectively. I would choose a lab because they are so friendly.

i love staffy's im not too sure how easy they are totrain to do the kind of thing you are after but they are so loyal they will try to do anything to please there owner.

Doberman Pincer! I have 2 and breed them, they are great dogs. All look and bark, tame and very loyal to owner. They are puppies for about 2 years, but once trainned they are the smartest dogs.

Amongst the most trainable/smartest dogs in the world are Border Collies, Poodles and Labrador Retrievers. I have a Lab and he can sing, bow, high five, beg, roll over etc.

border collie

I have a schnoodle (toy poodle & miniature schnauzer mix) & he is brilliant. Only 7 months old & knows about 15 commands. The smaller version is probably too little to open the fridge, but definitely smart enough to.

on tv last night there were 3 jack russell's doing all kinds of tricks, and one other type of dog (i dont knwo what thought) that was walking a double tightrope
