Is a Shiba Inu easy to train?

Shiba Inus are moderately trainable, scoring a 4 out of 5 for obedience but only a 2 out of 5 for problem-solving. Their independent nature means they can be a challenge, often requiring patience and consistent, positive reinforcement. While they possess good memory (3/5), their drive to please is not as high as some other breeds, making training a more deliberate process.
