About this Item

You know your dog can sit, fetch, and roll over, but can he respond to fetch commands in multiple languages? What about rolling dice? Help you play Sudoku? Recognize Mozart? From the author of Test Your Dog's IQ Genius Edition comes a brand-new spin on how to recognize your pet's potential--only this time it's not finding out how good of a pet your dog could be, but instead if he could tackle the world on his own. To help you find out, Rachel Federman and acclaimed illustrator Chuck Gonzales have paired up to create a visually-rich handbook filled to the brim with quizzes that ask you to imagine your dog in various situations, activity tests for you to perform with your dog, and games to help boost your dog's brainpower. These exercises might not get your four-legged friend into the college of his choice, but they'll certainly give you another way to bond with your pup. They'll also allow you to score his results. If your dog really is a superstar, he should be able to do more than simply meet his own needs all day long. With Test Your Dog's IQ Genius Edition, it's time to find out if you've been catering to your dog for too long; if your pooch is a mooch when he could be pulling his own weight around the house. This fun, affordable guidebook will release in sync with Test Your Cat's IQ Genius Edition, just as Test Your Dog's IQ and Test Your Cat's IQ released in sync in 2013. The content is brand-new and complemented by four-color illustrations throughout.

About this title

Synopsis

Interactive games help assess the dog's personality and intelligence on many levels: alertness, adaptability, memory, physical intelligence, and sensory perception.

Do you find yourself bragging to friends and family about your dog's intelligence? Is your dog the kind of canine personality that is in a class by itself? Here is your chance to prove once and for all just how smart your dog really is. These fun exercises will seem like playtime to your dog, but will actually measure various facets of canine intelligence, alertness, adaptiveness, personality, memory, and sensory perception. As an added bonus, you have a chance to spend lots of time with your beloved pet.

The scoring system is simple:
For every A answer, give your pup 5 points.
4 points for every B answer.
2 points for every C answer.
1 point for every D answer.

Consult the back of the book to score your dog once you have completed all the exercises. Who knows? You just might have a canine Einstein on your hands!

1 This exercise tests your dog's alertness. Grab one of his favorite toys and show it to him. While he is still watching you, toss the toy across the room behind his back. Does he...
A Retrieve the toy immediately
B Look around the room eagerly-then retrieve the toy within twenty seconds
C Stare at your hand expectantly, as if the toy were still in it
D Look around the room, find the toy, and eat it
