He picks up on things quick. We did not teach him fetch he instinctively knew how to do it and apparently that's some awesome thing because when we told the traininer at puppy class she was saying it was great. I'm not sure being stubborn means intelligence or not but Callie has that covered too lol. |
LOL!
Callie is obviously very intelligent, and you work very well as a team. You are an excellent trainer.

I do think she's very intelligent because she knows "time" because she knows what time my daughter comes home from school (she gets antsy at the door waiting for the bus around 330) . |
Max is like Emma with the inner clock. More accurate than a Timex!

Here's a short video of what they do when they're hungry and want their dinner lol: https://www.instagram.com/p/BO8ZvJph...cottieandcasie
I think I attribute their differences to personalities, rather than level of intelligence. |
My dad and I argued for a long time who was smarter, Max or Teddy. Dad didn't give Teddy enough credit because Teddy is more understated and crafty. Definitely different personalities and approaches, as Airplane's posts above also point to.
