There is no simple way to measure a dog's intelligence ...

As psychologist Stanley Coren wrote in the 1990s, dogs have a number of different intelligences: adaptive - cognition and learning, work - following orders and instinctive responsibilities for individual talents, while spatial, kinesthetic, interpersonal and many others we do not have to mention.

An expert in the study of animal behavior, Frans de Waal, confirmed on one occasion that humans try to assess the intelligence of animals according to limited and incorrect parameters, which are often accompanied by a bunch of irrelevant experiments.

While the laboratories of Yale and Duke University, as well as many others around the world, are working hard to study this issue, for now we have only one accurately measured intelligence, and that is working intelligence. In his book, The Intelligence of Dogs, Coren officially presented the results of his research conducted in front of 199 present judges in charge of assessing dog behavior. The final outcome of this study is incredibly consistent, however, Koren noted that a number of judges said that there is exceptions in every breed and that a lot depends on the training itself.

We present you the epilogue of the whole experiment and the brightest working dogs that exist today. These breeds are most suitable when it comes to learning new commands, for which they need less than five seconds and are obedient in 95% of cases. Discover them in our gallery.

If they are not given a lot of attention and quality training, these dogs can seriously endanger human life ...

A dog is definitely a man's best friend. They have been walking together for thousands of years as an indication that two different races can function perfectly. However, we must not forget that dogs originated from much more dangerous animals and that these instincts are still hidden in them.

Before we start with our list, we must mention one thing - THE AGGRESSIVENESS OF YOUR DOG WILL BE EXCLUSIVELY YOUR FAULT.

The breeds that we will list have a tendency and attributes of aggressive animals, but with good training and proper socialization, these dogs can be the greatest good bois.

Here are the dogs in question:

01. Pitbull

Although pit bulls can be easily trained and taught the basic rules, these dogs are responsible for the most deaths in the world. That is why they come first. These are great friends and very obedient dogs, but if you don't pay enough attention to them, they can seriously hurt you.

02. Rottweiler

Roths are definitely one of the best guards. They are very territorial, so that can be a problem. If you disturb their territory, your friends and other dogs can become their victims. That is why they have to learn discipline. Socialization is also crucial.

03. Husky

Although they look smooth and soft, these dogs can be very awkward. They are more dangerous to other dogs than to humans. It is very difficult to train them because they are very stubborn, so if you are someone who buys the first dog, then avoid this breed.

04. German Shepherd

After the border collie and poodle, the German Shepherd is the smartest breed of dog. They are great friends, they are loyal and they are among the best guardians. However, socializing and getting to know other animals and people is crucial if you don't want them be aggressive. GSD who spend time in the yard tend to be aggressive.

05. Malamute

The Malamute is a breed that is very energetic, but they often transfer that energy into aggression. That is why training is of key importance for this breed. The problem is that they are very slow learners, so you will have to pay a lot of attention to them if you want to teach them the basic commands.

06. Doberman

Dobermans are known as great guardians and protectors. Their beauty and grace are also among the main attributes, but they are also classified as more aggressive breeds of dogs. They are incredibly intelligent and can learn many different commands. Socialization is crucial because they will later become very aggressive towards other dogs.

07. Chow Chow

If you have ever wanted a lion for a pet, then a chow chow is a great replacement. They are definitely one of the most aggressive dogs in the world. You have to pay a lot of attention to them, and training will not be an easy job either.

08. Great Dane

These giant dogs are also called gentle giants. They know how to be amazing cuddles and great friends, but if you don't socialize them in time, they will become aggressive towards people and other animals.

09. Boxer

In the United States, the boxer is the 6th most popular breed of dog. They became popular after World War II when soldiers brought them home. These German dogs are loyal friends and amazing guardians, but if they are not taken into account, they can be very dangerous and inconvenient.

10. Akita

The Akita is a dog that is becoming increasingly popular. This Japanese breed is beautiful and very demanding when it comes to training. Precisely because he is a very stubborn dog, he can be both very aggressive and disobedient. They are fearless and are never afraid. If they train properly they will be a loyal friend who will never leave you.

Andrey Musienko has a wolf as a pet, from which the blood freezes in the veins ...

Although everyone mostly likes small and cute puppies that melt our hearts, some people like to take care of real giants. However, Andrej, who lives in Russia, decided to be the owner of a dangerous Canadian wolf, which is also the largest wolf on the planet.

Andrey found his best friend while he was a puppy, so he raised him and made him a real guard dog. He says that his wolf is too good and very good with people, but that he knows to be awkward with other dogs, because it is still a wild beast that is territorial and a bit aggressive.

However, Andrej tries to keep him at a safe distance from everyone and keeps him in his big yard, and he regularly uploads clips with his pet to his social networks. Take a look at some of his clips and you will understand how big this beast really is.

In today’s fast-paced and rather stressful times, we struggle every day with problems that can drive us insane. It has been determined that more than 40% of people on the planet take some kind of sedative or tranquilizer, and there is also a large percentage of those who have become addicted to these drugs.

Stress is the greatest enemy of modern man and people are trying in every way to overcome it. Unfortunately, drugs act as the most powerful weapon, but they are often a double-edged sword. However, doctors now advise you to fight stress in another way, with the help of animals.

Research has shown that staying with pets has the same effect on our brains as sedatives.

"Petting drastically reduces stress, and walking dogs, brushing cats, as well as arranging aquariums and fishing reduce anxiety and generally increase happiness in an individual," said one of the doctors who led the research.

So, if you have problems with stress and if it seems to you that the only salvation is in medication, get one little shaggy creature and everything will be much easier for you.

If you love dogs, you will love them even more after this.

It is not said without reason that the dog is man's best friend. These animals are more than friends and someone you will simply spend your free time with. Dogs are creatures that do amazing things for us and deserve our admiration.

The dog is man's best friend and many of you have probably experienced that. And as a true and best friend, dogs would do a lot of good things for us. All we need to do is let them, by showing them love, and be ready to receive and feel what they want to convey to us.

We'll show you some photos that show what dogs do for us and how much they mean to us.

Since the dogs were made of domesticated wolves, they share 99% of the gene with them. However, today's dogs are quite different from wolves, if we exclude breeds like the Husky. Due to massive mixing, there were breeds that do not look like wolves at all and that are completely unique.

However, people who live in villages and in areas where there are wolves say that it often happens that their dogs breed with wolves, and that the true Wolfdogs are beautiful and resemble real wolves. They are most commonly mated with the Huskies, but also with other breeds such as the German Shepherd, the Golden Retriever and even the Corgis.

Their temperament depends on what breed of domestic dog they were mating with. Because of their origin, they can often be aggressive, why it is not advisable to be with children, but also can be very gentle. If they grow up in the house, they will recognize the family as their pack and defend it with their lives. They like to be outdoors in nature and do not like to be closed, like in box.

We decided to show you how these wolves mixes look like and we're sure you'll be delighted if you are a dog lover.
