Is your dog smart? I certainly think my dogs are.  Most dog owners have lots of stories to show how smart their dogs are. Dogs do have some pretty amazing abilities from stealing a snack from time to time from a counter to knowing which shoes we wear when we take them for a run at the part.  And those are things they learn on their own.

The variety of behaviours people have been able to teach dogs, it's pretty remarkable.  We can teach them useful skill and amazing tricks but the fact remains that we have underestimated dogs and their abilities for centuries.  It turns out that they can do many things better and faster than humans.  Their scent detection makes them excellent at police work and helping diagnose medical conditions.  What amazing things will we discover they can do?
