Are there smart dogs?
Are there dogs who get confused
and do not react as well as we would like them to?
Which dog is the easiest to be trained?
Which dog is the most suitable for you?
We will see that in today's video…
Hello friends and welcome to our channel
where our priority is to keep you correctly and reliably informed
about our best friend, the dog.
I am Ilias Raymondis, dog trainer and dog trainers' trainer
and today we will talk about which dogs are the easiest to train…
I want to thank our friend…
I cannot understand from the nickname if is a he or a she…
for asking us this question…
The question is, which dog breed is the easiest to train?
The answer is complicated and I will explain why
When we ask that question
we must know first, what exactly we want to teach him
If we are talking about, let's say, which are the smartest dogs
we cannot define dog intelligence based on human reference.
A person is called intelligent based on various situations
as how many things he can think fast and how fast can he do that
how fast he can find solutions
how inventive he can be
how easily can he go from one task to another
There are various parameters
we must consider to see if a person is very smart
With dogs, there are no absolute and clear tests
There maybe are some, but I think is unfair
to use a human way to see if a dog is smart
I mean...to be smart, is human, we measure it in human terms
It is not something that helps us get into
the dog's mind and see if he really is smart.
Maybe I confused you a bit, I will explain what I mean…
For example, if someone is good at climbing trees
and I judge him on how good he is at digging
then probably he won't come up smart
It is stupid, or to say it properly, it is arbitrary to try
judging which dog is smarter
since that is human criteria.
So, to return to the question
there is a list that says which dogs are the smartest ones
On top of that list are border collies
followed by caniches and the german sheperd
and the list goes on…
But what "smarter" really means?
Smarter means that has the ability
to hold in the most words.
Let's say, the most communication words.
Various researches have been done to show
how many words a dog can remember for a long period
What "words" mean? That I say something
and he/she can recognize what that "something" is and it's meaning.
For instance if I say "sit down" does he/she knows what it means?
If I say "bring the cube", does he/she knows what it means?
When I say "bring the small red cube" can it be perceived?
All these are things
which in our daily routine with our dogs
are not very useful.
This will lead us to our next video
which will say about who is the most suitable dog for you.
And I say that because sometimes
the smartest and easiest dog to train
is being mixed up, with which is the most suitable dog for us.
Take notice of that, we won't analyze it today
but in the next video, where it will be better explained
but keep in mind that the smartest dog
or the one who is, theoretically, easier to train
is not necessarily the most suitable dog for you.
Be a little patient, as we will explain all that, in the next video.
So, to sum up, if we measure this in human reference
the smartest and easier to train dogs, are border collies
as long as we have some things in mind.
I want to thank you for being with us.
And thank our friend for the question!
You should watch our next video, it will be uploaded soon
so you can understand which is the most suitable dog for you
and how you can choose a dog for you
your personality and your family.
Thank you for being with us.
I am Ilias Raymondis from Mila sto Skilo sou
Goodbye!
