Are Whippets difficult to train due to their independence?

Whippets are moderately trainable, ranking #51 out of 138 breeds in obedience, suggesting average aptitude rather than extreme difficulty. Their memory score of 4/5 indicates they retain commands well, despite a problem-solving score of 2/5 which points to less independent reasoning. While their independence can be a factor, it doesn't make them inherently "difficult" to train, but rather requires consistent, reward-based methods.
