We feel a little guilty labeling one dog smarter than another, but Stanley Coren, a professor of psychology at the University of British Columbia Vancouver, published a book in 1994 titled The Intelligence of Dogs. In this book he highlights his research, explaining how he determined which dogs were smarter than others. He determined that dogs have three types of intelligence: instinctive intelligence, adaptive intelligence, and working and obedience intelligence.
Working and obedience intelligence deals with what the dog can learn from humans. This has to do with trainability. So, a dog may have instinctive and adaptive intelligence in excess, but be a pain in the rear to train. Or, the breed may take to training like nobody’s business, but be further down the list than others who are more stubborn.

The 5 Most Intelligent Doggies

Doberman’s look mean. Really mean, but they’re big cuddle bugs with their owners. They will take to training as well as any other dog and be devoted to their owner for the rest of their lives. Like the German Shepherd, you have to be firm with your Doberman. They are assertive, so you just have to be more assertive than they are.
