Are Bloodhounds hard to train?

Bloodhounds present a unique training challenge due to their overpowering scent drive and independent nature, often ranking lower in conventional obedience. They score a 3 out of 5 for obedience and a 1 out of 5 for problem-solving on our scale, indicating they aren't quick to follow commands or solve novel tasks without guidance. While not unintelligent, their focus is overwhelmingly on scent, making them appear stubborn in traditional training.
