【Test】Table Test Method to Help Dogs Test Intelligence
Dog
Many owners often feel dissatisfied when they see dog intelligence rankings, wondering why their own dog isn’t as smart as other breeds. Actually, these rankings are objective comparisons based on breeds. The editor will introduce a relatively simple testing method to test your dog’s intelligence, but of course this is only for entertainment and cannot definitively determine your dog’s IQ!
1. Implementation method:
1. Place a soft cushion on a table of suitable height.
2. Block the area in front of the table so the dog cannot see under the table! This is very important!
3. While the dog cannot see the tabletop, throw some dog food (or dried meat or something the dog is interested in) from above onto the cushion on the table in front of the dog. What will the dog do?
2. Test results:
1. The dog sees the dog food disappear from the owner’s hand and thinks it fell under the table, so it crawls under the table to look for it.
2. The dog barks at the top of the table because it knows the dog food is actually still on the table! Some dogs immediately jump onto the table to get the food when it disappears!
3. Result evaluation:
Dogs that know the dog food is still on the table are smarter because they can realize that the position of the dog food has changed, showing good attention and judgment. Such dogs are clearly more intelligent.
