Just like people, dogs can have different types of intelligence. Emotional intelligence, sensitivity to the feelings of others or insight are nearly impossible to test in dogs. And since most dogs are naturally eager to learn and to please humans, the most common test of intelligence used to assess them is usually their trainability. Leaders in the field of animal behavior have, in recent years, come to some consensus that ability to follow commands and learn shows an ability to problem solve and is therefore the best way to gauge the relative smarts of dogs. In his bestselling book, The Intelligence of Dogs, Canadian Neuropsychologist Stanley Cohen used this measure in a field test of 110 ten breeds. He used 200 professional dog trainers to judge the performance of the dogs on various working and obedience tests, repeated over a span of 5 days.
