There is still no IQ test you can put your lovely pooch through, however, there are certain qualities that make up what we would call a smart dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally speaking, dog breeds can be evaluated in terms of\nobedience, instincts and ability to adapt. That said, it all depends on more\nthan just breed characteristics. Some dogs are more sociable and feel more\ncomfortable around people than others, which may influence their rapport\npositively, on the other hand, they may have poor intuitive skills. In fact,\nwho is to say whether a dog is smart or not if it refuses to be obedient? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An important aspect of strong\/poor obedience is emotional\ndependence and trust in humans. In his book <em>\u201cWhy dogs hump and bees get\ndepressed: the fascinating science of animal intelligence, emotions,\nfriendship, and conservation\u201d<\/em>, Marc Bekoff notices that \u201cDogs and other\nanimals tell us they trust us by their actions, by their willingness to allow\nus to do just about anything to them\u201d; In this sense, a dog will be more\nwilling to learn and easier to be trained if their human creates a trustful,\nhonest relationship. Simply put, your dog\u2019s smartness to some extent depends on\nyour devotion and emotional openness as an owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/adorable-animal-animal-photography-1562983-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3417\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/adorable-animal-animal-photography-1562983-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/adorable-animal-animal-photography-1562983-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/adorable-animal-animal-photography-1562983-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/adorable-animal-animal-photography-1562983-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/adorable-animal-animal-photography-1562983-113x75.jpg 113w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/adorable-animal-animal-photography-1562983-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/adorable-animal-animal-photography-1562983-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/adorable-animal-animal-photography-1562983.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em><span class=\"caption\">Photo Credit: Alois Moubax via Pexels<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.
