I'm on my 2nd Brittany. Got the first as a pup and she was very easy to train. She was a "Dog of a Lifetime". Great family member, very smart and great hunter.
Beware, they need lots of exercise. I agree that they sensitive to harsh commands. Makes training them easy.
When we lost her we decided to adopt. Found a French Brittany that was a "hunting dog". Was told she had never been in a house. Owner didn't know her age but guessed "Between 4 and 6".
Vet said he thought she was closer to 8. She didn't even respond to her name when we got her.
She immediately became a house dog. She mastered the dog door the first night. Was housebroken right from the start.
We've had her 2 years now and her personality has really emerged. I believe she is as smart as our first Brit. Of course she is a great hunter.
Dogs are a special kind of people.
Good luck with your new pup.
