In a former life I raised and trained bird dogs. Springer spaniels are extremely intelligent, highly motivated, and they love to learn new things. When I trained a dog to do something, it was unmistakably proud of itself. It was a pleasure to help my dogs learn valuable skills -- they loved it, and I did too.
Interestingly enough, springer spaniels are really two different breeds. The field dogs are fairly small and wiry and, as noted above, very smart. Springers have also been bred as show dogs, where the goal is perfect conformation (mostly physical appearance). The show springers are considerably larger than the field dogs and have other physical differences. Also, they don’t seem to have the active intelligence and curiosity of the field dogs.
I agree that untrained dogs are a problem and sometimes dangerous especially of they have been mistreated. Dogs are relatively easy to train, but of course you must think like a dog to get it done!
