Speaking as a dog owner, I am continually astonished at the intelligence of so-called dumb animals. Mine is so smart, she has trained me to give her a treat whenever she does her business outside. I bristle when people suggest I train her to do tricks, or dress her in cute costumes for holidays. I don't think it wise to institute a battle of wills with my dog. Likely she would win.
