Have you ever wondered if your dog is smart or maybe… not so smart? Well, I found a really cool e-book that will help Test Your Dogs IQ! Just Click Here to read the free e-book (.pdf file) on how to test your dogs intelligence.

Example Test Activity…

Here is just an Example of one of the tests included in the Full IQ Test:

The goal of this test: To measure how observant your dog is.

Question: Does he recognize a common household routine and associate it with going for a walk?

You’ll need:

1. your jacket
2. your keys
3. your dog’s leash
4. a relaxed, lying-down dog

Do the test:

Choose a room where your dog likes to lie down AND where he can clearly see the door you usually use when you take him for a walk.

1. Put your dog outside or in another room, so he can’t see what you’re doing. Take your three “props” (jacket, keys, and leash) and group them together somewhere in the room a good distance from the door AND a good distance from where your dog likes to lie down. In other words, form a triangle, with three points about the same distance apart — the door, your dog’s usual resting place, and the place where you set the props.
2. After you’ve let your dog back in the room, sit and find something casual to do, such as reading a book. You want to give your dog time to settle and lie down. Ideally, he will lie across the room from the door, and also across the room from your props.
3. Once your dog is settled, watch him from the corner of your eye. When he happens to glance in your direction, stand up. Without looking at your dog, walk to your props. Lift your coat and slip it on. Pick up your keys.
4. Pick up the leash. Remember, don’t look at your dog. Eye contact might encourage him to come to you and will spoil the true meaning of the test.
5. Now STOP where you are. Stand still. Don’t move toward the door.

SCORING

• If your dog comes to you (some dogs will practically fly off the sofa as soon as you reach for your jacket!), OR if he goes to the door, or both…Score 4
• Otherwise, walk to the door — still not looking at your dog. STOP in front of the door. If he comes to you now…Score 3
• Otherwise, place your hand on the doorknob and rattle it. If he comes to you now…Score 2
• If he still hasn’t come to you, but is looking alert and interested…Score 1
• If he is paying virtually no attention to you…Score 0
