I won't train such a dog, as its prey drive is too "out of balance" and it takes a lot of negative pressure to get compliance. Much more than I like putting on a dog, so I leave these hard dogs to hard trainers. Such animals are products of inferior breeding. It is, in my opinion, genetic. You can train around genetics, but you cannot change them.
My own personal dogs are well balanced mentally. I also prefer a softer dog. A soft dog with good bidibility is a pleasure to train. A hard dog with good bidibility is good too, but it is going to take a little pressure. A stubborn dog that is soft and cannot take pressure is truly almost impossible to train. A hard dog that is stubborn is hard to train, and best left to those who do not mind working with such animals.
