Different breeds of dogs have high and low IQs. Even dogs of the same breed perform differently in many things. For pet owners, they definitely hope that they can raise a smart dog. In fact, whether a dog is smart can be seen from their behavior. If your dog has these manifestations, even if it only takes up a few, it means it is very smart.
1. Smart dogs can imitate the behavior of their owners
. Smart dogs will imitate the behavior of humans. This is their most basic survival skill. If your dog can always imitate your behavior and make the same actions as you at a certain moment, it means they are particularly smart. Imitation seems simple, but it is very difficult for pets. First of all, dogs must have the ability to observe and have high IQ. Otherwise, no matter how strong the observation ability is, being unable to imitate can only mean that they are powerless. Therefore, when the dog imitates the owner's behavior, the owner can reward them with some food and take the opportunity to teach the dog other skills.
2. You can understand the owner's instructions
You can understand the owner's instructions. Dogs who do things according to the owner's instructions have to be said to be very smart. Because understanding each instruction requires a lot of time to learn. Generally speaking, only trained dogs can truly understand the meaning behind the instruction. Some pet owners find that no matter how long the same person has been instructed, the dog cannot learn to look at him or even stare blankly when the owner makes instructions. Such dogs are difficult to train, and those dogs who can always perform their owners’ instructions well have high execution ability and high IQ.
3. Know the owner's mood
Smart dogs are very eye-catching, and they can know what their owner is feeling at the moment. Some stupid dogs are still making trouble and even barking loudly when their owner is in a bad mood, which makes the owner uneasy, and the dog will inevitably be beaten up. The smart dog knows that the owner is in a bad mood at the moment and will definitely not do naughty things again, but will lie quietly beside the owner and accompany the owner silently.
4. Conceal your own mistakes
Pets will make mistakes, especially dogs. Dogs are much naughty than cats, and making mistakes can be said to be commonplace. From the way dogs deal with mistakes, we can see whether they are smart dogs. Smart dogs usually cover up their mistakes after making mistakes. For example, after biting the owner's clothes, they will hide the clothes under the bed and try not to let the owner find them. Dogs with low IQ will not do this and even laugh at the side when they are scolded by their owners.
