Dogs, with their varying smarts, may be able to tell us more about the nature of intelligence in all animals – including humans! Try out these three canine intelligence tests to see if your pet is above or below average – or right on par with the dogs in this study. Keep in mind that we’re comparing the results to border collies and everyone’s testing environment is a little different, so below average/average/above average is the most accurate measurement (compared to some other tests online that have scoring systems). So smart. Much fun. 🐕
