The love for dogs is something that only those who have this pet can measure.
Of all sizes, different characters, fur.
Endless breeds for owners to enjoy.
But there is always a question that hovers:
what are the smartest dog breeds?
The specialists affirm that it is not easy to measure the capacities of these pets.
According to a specialist like the American Stanley Coren, there are
different types of intelligence
.
And many edges are put into play when it comes to evaluation.
One is the
adaptive
intelligence
, which has to do with deciphering things, and an
instinctive
intelligence
, which
is identified with innate talent.
But also, the
spatial, kinesthetic, interpersonal and emotional
intelligences
.
For this reason, beyond the fact that there will always be exceptions in all races,
training and training
also play a key role
.
Stanley Coren is professor of psychology, neuropsychological researcher.
