What Is Dog IQ Or Intelligence?
How can we find out which dog breed is smarter than the many?
Dog intelligence refers to the aptitude or the capacity a canine has to think, learn as well as provide solutions. It is not that simple to classify a canine as a smart breed but these criteria can help you decide to some extent:
- Work and obedience – This criterion refers to the way a canine learns commands and follows them.
- Instinctive – Some dog breeds are excellent at retrieving and others are good at guarding homes.
- Adaptive – This factor indicates how well a canine adapts to her new surrounding. It fluctuates, even within dogs belonging to the same category.
Factors To Consider Before Getting A Smart Dog
- How much quality time can you really spend on training, because the more active your dog is, the more amount of training it requires?

- For dogs: Instincts matter the most; for the training: the learning rate is more or less the same.
- The trainer with the best technique, the difference in learning can be around 30-45 days.
