I like your theory on dog intelligence!

My most recent theory is that the most limiting factor in a dog's trainability is our willingness to listen to them or our willingness to be trained by them, if you will.

Communciation is a two-way street. If only one participant works on bridging the gap, the gap won't be bridged.

Your Sparky figured out whose attention to get and how to get it. YOU figured out what Sparky was trying to tell you. It couldn't have happened without TWO willing participants.
