Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://bitly.im/aMQW1
A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

No - one of the top rated breeds for obedience training is a Papillon http://www.akc.org/breeds/papillon/index.cfm !
Many people that own small dogs let them get away with more than they would a large dog. This is why there are more badly behaved small dogs. The owner makes the choice - train & teach manners, or let the dog rule the house & say things like 'Isn't he cute? He thinks he's a big dog!' when he yaps at every noise, charges the door & nips at the ankles of guests.

Don't think so - depends more on the person doing the training. If the trainer is flexible enough to adapt training methods to the temperament of the individual dog, small dogs are just as smart as large ones.

It depends on the breed. Certain breeds of dogs are more difficult to train than others. However small breeds are harder to train in one aspect and that is housetraining. I've included a source that will take you to a website with loads of info. on small breed dogs, including how to train them.

I have a small dog and a large dog and the small dog was definitely easier to train than the big dog.

small dogs, large dogs, doesn't really matter... the smarter a dog is, the harder it will be to train.
I am not saying, get a stupid dog...
It is worth it to take the time to train a smart dog... it is harder, but much more rewarding when they respond!

I've had both. Both are easy if you work hard. HOWEVER, small dogs are easier to handle physically if you need to (i.e., training to walk on a leash, needing to "help" them to sit, etc.) But the trainER is the main ingredient. Good Luck.

Housetraining is a little more difficult because they have such small bladders. But I found with my small dog (Bichonpoo) that teaching Basic Obedience is easier than when I had a big dog.

i had a Yorkie. the first yr was Kane!!! she was smart and thought she was smarter than me!! i loved her. but yes!!!!!!!!! in my op ion small dogs are harder to handle and train than large dogs. but i am a German Shepard fan. so it all depends on you. the best way to train a dog to potty is to have a older dog teach them. big brother or sister. also if fixed it is easier. either sex. but to me.... males are the easiest ones to train.. if fixed.

I have a Yorkie and a Westie. I would say that the Westie is a lot smarter and a very fast learner.
