i think all terriers are smart...the boston terrier i had b4 Bo was almost human like it was scary sometimes...she could undeadbolt my front door by jumping on the right spot until it was unlocked as well as opening our bedroom door she would get on the back of my sofa and paw at the door knob until it would open enough to get her nose in the door so she could get in....as far as my yorkie he is very smart to he is only 13 weeks and he has been wee wee pad trained since we brought him home at 8 weeks and he figured out i keep a plate of treats on my table and now he goes around to where i have blankets stacked beside of my table and he climbes up and gets what he wants off the table...i figured that out the other day when my daughter brought me a dandyline in from the yard i laied it on my table and the next thing i knew he had it on his blanket eating it and i couldnt figure out how he got it so i started watching him and sure enough he had figured out how to get into the treat plate from crawling up on the blankets stacked in the corner lol....most of the time he sleeps in a crate infront of my bed where he can see me so he dont cry at night but the other morning i got up and let him out to pee and i thought to myself i know he wont have to go agian b4 i get up so i put him in the bed with me and went to sleep well he woke me up right in my face barking and licking my nose and i thought what in the world is wrong with him well sure enough he had to go poop because when i brought him in here to his pad he about jumed out of my arms and as soon as his feet hit his pads he went...i thought that was pretty good for 13 weeks waking me up when he had to go and not using my bed lol...over all i think most dogs are smarter than alot of ppl give them credit for |
