Although Borzois are quite intelligent dogs, they are notoriously hard to train all thanks to their stubborn streak and their strong desire to take off when the mood takes them. With this said, in the right hands and with the correct amount of training which has to be consistent and started when dogs are young, the Borzoi can be trained to be obedient although it would be unwise to let them off their leads in a public park or when walking in the countryside. In short, with a lot of patience and understanding of the breed, it is possible to train a Borzoi although they would probably never be 100% obedient.
