The intelligence quotient (IQ) of the dog is among the highest of all animals, maybe much more than what people give him credit for. The fact that his brain is just half as big as ours does not change the fact that he is without a doubt the most intelligent of all domestic animals. Genes that are passed down from generation to generation may have a significant impact on an individual’s level of intelligence. Although there are breeds that are more intellectual than others, breeds that have been purposefully chosen for their work capacity tend to be more intelligent and responsive than breeds that have been developed just for their physical traits. It has been established via research that neither a purebred dog nor a mixed breed dog is much more clever than the other. It has been shown that dogs who have been exposed to a more varied lifestyle, including both inside and outdoors, as well as interaction with both humans and other animals, demonstrate more intelligent behavior. Simply said, if you give your dog the opportunity to investigate and play with a variety of objects, to go to a variety of places, and to share a variety of experiences with you, he or she will develop a higher level of intelligence. Your dog will not only be more content with life, but he will also be more eager to learn new things, and he will master new skills with increasing ease and speed. An clever dog that is confined to a kennel and denied the opportunity to engage in mental stimulation is the most tragic and wasteful thing that can happen. In contrast to what most people believe, dogs really possess certain fundamental cognitive capacities. Watching a dog evaluate a situation and then respond appropriately is something that every person who has ever had a dog has experienced. Guide dogs for the blind, as well as working and hunting dogs of a variety of breeds, are required to make decisions on a consistent basis throughout their training. A significant component of intelligence is one’s memory. An extraordinary sense of smell is possessed by the dog. His auditory memory is remarkable, as he is able to remember and differentiate between familiar sounds even after a significant amount of time has passed since they were last heard. His visual memory is ordinary. It takes more concentration for him to remember different words, despite the fact that he is able to retain a large variety of diverse sounds with minimal effort. Memory, rather than true cognition, is the foundation upon which the dog’s capacity for learning is built. It is possible for him to recollect the sequence of events that led to the consequences of his actions; yet, he is unable to draw broad conclusions from his experiences. It is shown that individuals learn more quickly and retain more information when they have a wider range of experiences and interact with a greater number of people. Even though dogs are born with a lower level of intelligence than humans, we owe them the chance to improve their natural intelligence by providing them with opportunities to learn, exercise, and work with them as often and as frequently as we can.
