Test for dog intelligence?测试狗的智商?

Question:

Is there a quick way to test for a dog’s smartness?

Answer:

Yep, you can easily test his problem-solving ability:

Put a cookie under the sofa and see if he tries more than one way to get at it. Does he twist his head around? Twist his body? Use his paws to try and reach it? Run to you for assistance? If he tries multiple strategies when the first one doesn’t work, he’s a good problem solver.

Another way is simply to observe how fast your dog “gets it.” How many repetitions does it take him to learn behaviors such as sit, lie down, stay, tricks, fetch Mr. Squeaky Carrot, etc.? Dogs will fall in a bell curve, all things held equal (such as the trainer’s skill and how easy the dog is to motivate), so the quicker he picks up what you’re asking him to do, the smarter he probably is.

问题:

有没有快速测试狗智商的方法?

答案:

是的,您可以轻松测试他的解决问题能力:

将曲奇饼放在沙发下面,看看他是否尝试多种方法来拿到它。他是否扭动头部?扭动身体?使用爪子尝试到达它?奔向您寻求帮助?如果第一种方法不起作用时他尝试多种策略,那么他是一个很好的问题解决者。

另一种方法是简单地观察您的狗“明白了”多快。他学会坐下、躺下、呆着、技巧、取Mr. Squeaky Carrot等行为需要多少次重复?狗将按照一个钟形曲线排列,所有事物都保持相等(例如训练师的技能和狗的动机易感性),所以他越快地学会您要求他做的事情,他可能越聪明。
