This may be the den, or it could be the kitchen, bathroom, your bed, the car, or the computer room. In fact, the average Keeshond pet owner has two, and three Keeshonden is not at all uncommon. In general, Keeshonden are very intelligent even though this may not be apparent to a number of Kees owners. It is not necessarily true that intelligent dogs are the easiest to train, or that dumb dogs can not be trained. Before one can really become a good trainer of dogs, one must understand a bit about canine psychology and be able to determine the best approach for their particular dog.
Intelligent dogs are often easily bored and can be stubborn.
The Keeshond can be very inventive when bored. They generally do not adapt well to repetitive routine obedience exercises, preferring to be challenged with new exercises and games once one command is learned. They are not always the best choice for strict precision obedience as they tend to have a sense of humor and to be clowns. This can be exasperating for the structured obedience person. Fortunately, Keeshonds are very people and food oriented and are quite willing to please, especially if a snack might be forthcoming.
