A dog behaviourist has shared his insights on the best dog breeds for families looking for a canine companion that is easy to train and has good behaviour. Labrador Retrievers, English Mastiffs, and Golden Retrievers top his list.
Choosing the ideal dog breed can be a challenging task. You want a dog that will integrate into your family effortlessly, one that you can train easily and have fun with. Dog behaviourist Will Atherton has shared a 'secret' on his TikTok page, stating that if he doesn't 'see a breed very often' at his centre for 'advanced behaviour modification,' then it's 'probably a good sign they should be on your shortlist' as good breeds.
'These are the three breeds that, as a canine behaviourist, I just rarely see have any bad behaviour problems,' he said, starting off with a dog breed that he personally believes is 'the best in the world'. So, what is Will's favourite dog breed? It's a Labrador retriever. He mentioned that he does see quite a few of them in his training and behaviour centre, but it's 'often very minor behaviours and stems from them just being so loving and wanting to meet people, go see other dogs, and play with them that they might be pulling a little bit or jumping a little bit'.

The PDSA shares that Labrador retrievers are 'devoted, affectionate, loving dogs that will happily get along with everyone', reports the Express. 'They're obedient, quick to learn and eager to please, so training should be fairly easy.' These dogs require a minimum of two hours of exercise per day, so you need to be prepared to commit to this as well. Next on the list of recommended breeds was the English mastiff, with Will expressing his desire to work with more of these dogs. He said: 'I think that they're one of the best breeds on the planet. However, they seem to come out of the womb just wanting to be a chill, laid-back, perfect canine companion.' The PDSA describes English Mastiffs as 'gentle giants – calm, good-natured dogs that tend to get on well with everyone
