Dogs are wonderful companions, but there're some breeds(品种) more challenging to live with and to train. Some breeds are not the best choices for new trainers or owners.
However, if you compare the numerous breeds which are more difficult to train,you'll find differences of opinion, probably based on individual experiences with individual dogs. It's im?portant to remember differences in individual dogs. If you're a novice owner or trainer,talk to a good breeder or trainer. You may need to adjust your choice of dog or adjust your training meth?od. Here,re a few other points to consider：
High-energy dogs can be a training challenge, especially if they don't have sufficient op?portunity to burn off that energy before training sessions.
Don't assume that a dog is dumb just because they're a challenge to train. If you find the
right method and if you're realistic in setting your training goals, most dogs will be more than willing to learn,although it may take some longer to learn than others. Listing a particular breed as being difficult to train may lead owners to assume that their dog can't be trained or that their dog is somehow less intelligent.
Some breeds were bred to work independently，and may not be interested in a lot of inter?action with their owners.
Other breeds are so highly tuned into their particular skill that at times it's very hard for them to focus on anything else.
Dogs bred to be vocal―guard dogs，dachshunds or hunting hounds―will be more difficult to be taught that barking is unacceptable.
Finally，any dog breed can be a challenge to train if you are attempting to train for some?thing other than what they were bred to do or that they are physically able to do. Pugs and Bull?dogs probably won't do well with scent(嗅觉) work―their noses and brains aren't wired that way. Working dogs need jobs to do or you will never train them to stop destroying the house if you leave them for hours at a time. Don't adopt a dog simply because you like the breed;mak?ing sure your dog won't be a challenge to live with and to train is as much about selecting the right breed and the right individual for you,your lifestyle and training abilities.

B驯养一般的犬只并不难，但要驯养具有挑战性的犬只就不那么容易了。作者认为，选择合适的犬种，以及采用恰当的方法(或可叫做"因狗施教") ，这是成功的两大关键。
5.B主旨大意题。本文涉及两个关键内容： challenging和驯狗。恰好B包含了这两个关键词，故是正确答案。
6.C细节理解题。第二段第二句说"要注意狗的个体差异";第四句说"你需要调节对狗的品种的选择，或者调整你的训练方法"，由此可知，作者认为，只要方法得当，再有挑战性的狗都能被驯好。
7.A推理判断题。第六段说:有些品种的狗生性就是独立工作的，可能不愿与主人互动。由此可推知，当主人与它们一起训练时，它们会很讨厌。
8.C细节理解题。倒数第二段说达克斯猎狗天生爱叫唤，所以要训练它们明白叫唤是不受欢迎的很难。其余的可分别根据第三、四和最后一段知道，其说法是错误的。
