Sneaky Blue

In the sleeve have a trick or two

not us, this technique is new! 

According to this article I've read a while back on www.sciencedaily.com dogs are on the same intellectual level as a typical two-year-old. Now, that does not mean that your Chihuahua can get her GED, finally, but that there are some dogs who are adept at learning and memorizing much better than others. 

"As for language, the average dog can learn 165 words, including signals, and the "super dogs" (those in the top 20 percent of dog intelligence) can learn 250 words"-WOW, more words than the ones existent in my vocabulary.  Those of you who follow the blog (yes you baby) may have noticed. 

Dogs can also count up to four or five.

They also have a basic understanding of arithmetic and will notice errors in 

simple computations,

such as 1+1=1 or 1+1=3. 

 

According to  dog behaviorists there are 3 distinctive INTELLIGENCE types IN dogs:

INSTINCTIVE (what the dog is bred to do)

ADAPTIVE (how well the dog learns from its environment to solve problems) 

WORKING AND OBEDIENCE (the equivalent of 'school learning')
