Is a Beagle easy to train?

Beagles present a moderate challenge in training due to their average obedience (3/5) and below-average problem-solving skills (2/5). While they possess good memory (3/5) and excellent social intelligence (5/5), their independent nature and strong scent drive can make them less eager to comply. This places them in the lower-middle tier of canine trainability, often requiring more patience and consistent effort than breeds like Border Collies or Poodles.
