所有的狗都有不同的能力和智商。你可以通过游戏活动来测试狗的能力，找到他们的擅长点。他们的智商既有天生的，也是可以从社会互动、学习技巧、目标任务和理解语言线索中锻炼出来的。
All dogs have different capabilities and intelligence. You can test your dog’s abilities with games and activities to see where they excel. Their intelligence is both inbred and learned intelligence from social interaction, learning skills or tasks, and understanding language cues.

狗出生时天生智商随着品种的不同而不同。以嗅觉技能而闻名的狗很有可能在这种技能的智力测试中表现更好。那些天生就是挖掘者或猎人的狗品种会在这些任务中表现更好。混种狗的技能和智商可能是不同品种的组合。像人类一样，没有两只狗是完全一样的，但他们有能力学习。这里有5种有趣的方式可以测试狗的智商。
Dogs are born with instinctive intelligence that varies according to their breed. Dogs known for scent skills will most likely fare better at intelligence tests that focus on this skill. Dog breeds that are diggers or hunters will fare better at those tasks. In the case of mixed breed dogs, their skills and intelligence may be a combination from the various breeds. Like us, no two dogs are exactly alike, but they are capable of learning. Here are 5 fun ways you can test your dog’s intelligence.

隐藏玩具或零食
Hide a Toy or Treat

当你的狗在另外一个地方，不知道你在做什么的时候，在毯子下藏起一些零食或他最喜爱的玩具，并告诉他们去寻找。您可以通过使用多个毯子或多个杯子增加测试难度。计算你的狗需要多长时间找到隐藏的零食或玩具。
When your dog is in another area and not watching what you are doing, hide some dog treats or a favorite toy under a blanket and tell them to find it. You can make the test more difficult by using more than one blanket or multiple cups. Time how long it takes your dog to find the correct one that hides the food reward or toy.

障碍
Obstacles

当藏起玩具或零食让你的狗去寻找时，可以增加一些障碍，如一系列的椅子，让狗思考如何绕过这些障碍物。
When hiding toys or treats for your dog to find, add additional obstacles, such as a series of chairs, which require problem solving to figure out how to get around, over or under.

找回命名玩具
Retrieve Named Toys

给每个玩具一个特定的名字。当你和狗一起玩那个玩具时，继续使用这个名字。例如，将球的名字指定为“网球”或“笨蛋”，任何名称都可。通过重复和耐心的训练，您的狗能取回你指定的玩具。你的狗也能感受到纯粹的乐趣，并期待与你玩游戏。
Give each type of toy a specific name. Continually use that name when you are playing with your dog and that toy. For example instead of just ball, specify “tennis ball” or “nubbly ball,” whatever name seems appropriate. Through training, repetition and patience, your dog may learn to fetch the specific toy you are requesting. Your dog will also be motivated by the sheer fun and anticipation of playing a game with you.

益智玩具
Puzzle Toys

购买或者创建一个拼图型玩具，要求你的狗在里面找到零食。拼图玩具可以是打开的或有一个小开口可以塞入零食。狗必须清楚如何把他们弄出来。
Either purchase or create a puzzle-type toy that requires your dog to figure out how to retrieve the treat inside. Puzzle toys can either be opened or have a small opening to insert the treats. The dog has to figure out how to get them out.

额外测量工具
Extra Measuring Tools

为了测量狗的先天技能和练习中取得的进步，记录你选择测试的每种技能。这将使您能够衡量狗的进步速度，并确定她擅长什么类型的事情，以及她不擅长的事情。您可以在挂图、笔记本或电脑上对多种情况进行详细记录。注意要有一个起始点，随时间的推进观察狗的进度。
To really gauge what your dog knows in the beginning and as she progresses in learning, keep track of each skill you choose to test. This will enable you to measure your dog’s improvement and see what types of things she excels at and what she doesn’t. You can keep track on a wall chart, in a notebook, or on your computer. Note a base starting point and observe the progress over time.

使用秒表计算狗完成每个技能需要多长时间。记下他们遇到的任何挑战或困难，以帮助您了解他们的智力或技能水平。
Use a stopwatch to time how long it takes your dog to complete each skill. Make notations of any challenges or difficulties they experience to help you understand their level of intelligence or skill.
