    Border Collies are very smart and easily trainable.

    The Australian Cattle dog is another good choice.

    Border Collie.

    They have one of the biggest brains for the dogs size and they are extremely intelligent.

    Poodles and poodle mixes are very trainable in terms of tricks.

    Retrievers and Border Collies excel at obedience.

    Terriers are a nightmare to train... they're smart, but anarchistic and stubborn. I love 'em to death but if you want an easy-to-train dog, avoid terriers at all costs! :D

    It really depends on your lifetsyle and what you are looking for. I wouldn't get a dog solely based on it's trainability...many very trainable dogs may not meet your needs and your lifestyle.

    Border collies, as many have suggested are extremely intelligent and bright but require a great deal of exercise and attention from their owners.

    I personally vouch for the doberman...a phenomenal dog and highly intelligent and easy to train, but most certainly not for everyone. Dobies, like shepards are quite smart but are very strong/dominant dogs by nature. In order to make a good family dog they need a very consistent, firm and kind owner that knows how to work with more 'strong natured' dogs. They typically would not make good dogs for first time owners.

    All breeds have their benefits and devoted followers, it really depends on your preferences and needs. If you are looking for an obedience champion you probably are looking for a border collie, a shepard, a dobie or a retriever. If you just want a dog that will quickly learn basic commands (sit, down, stay etc.) any dog can learn those quickly with a consistent, firm and fair owner.

    My dad had quite a few dogs and his poodle was by far the quickest to learn tricks and obediance. It was also very loyal and friendly.

    Border Collies are good. I also like Labs and Goldens. High in energy, but also smart and eager to please. Smart and eager to please is a great starting place.

    Definetely the Border Collie.

    He has the intelligence of a four year old human.

    Wife and i have to spell words.

    Our border collie has a monumental vocabulary.
