Teaching your dog new tricks is a classic way to test their smarts. See how quickly they pick up commands.

Playing hide and seek with treats tests your dog's smelling ability and memory. Do they remember where treats were hidden?

Give your dog puzzle toys/games to see if they can solve them to get treats. More complex puzzles require smarter dogs.

Build up your dog's vocabulary with new words. Smart dogs can learn 10+ words apart from basic commands.

Observe your dog's ability to communicate effectively with other dogs and humans. This tests their "EQ."

Keep your dog engaged by varying their activities daily. Bored, repetitive tasks don't stimulate their mind.

Enroll your dog in obedience or agility classes. Intelligent dogs thrive learning new skills alongside other dogs.
