Dogs are thought to be intelligent creatures. They can remember approximately
165 words on average. This includes visual signals and other signs. A trained dog can
learn even more words, up to 250.
Some studies demonstrate that dogs are as clever as a two-year-old child. This has been
measured in a couple of ways. Firstly, a dog knows about the same number of words
as a child of this age. Additionally, there is a mirror test that is used to measure awareness.
Dogs never really understand their reflection in the mirror. They think it’s another dog.
Children are like this, too, until they’re about three.
Like many other animals, dogs sense some things far better than humans. They’re often able
to understand social situations faster, such as who is the most dominant animal in a pack
