#361, "Mostly it makes him trainable"
|
Stanley Coren does a pretty good write up of intelligence in dogs and he would say yes, but I disagree with his weighting of learning ability and problem solving ability.
The best thing to remember when you start thinking of dogs as smart is that a dog in a kennel will pee in it's only source of freshwater when it is 100+ degrees outside.
