Can a Chow Chow be trained for protection, obedience, and dog socialization?

Question

Could a chow chow be successfully trained in protection and obedience and to get along with other dogs if trained at a young age by a certified trainer?

Jennifer Summerfield, DVM CPDT-KA · Accepted Answer

It really depends on the individual dog. Virtually all dogs can learn obedience skills as long as the trainer is good, but protection work and getting along with other dogs will depend a lot on his individual personality. If you want a dog to do these things, I would strongly recommend getting a pup from a breeder whose dogs have the qualities that you're looking for - this will dramatically increase the chances that your puppy will have a suitable temperament for these things.
