Built to Figure It Out

Dogs with the Expert profile have all of the cognitive tools they need to solve most of their daily problems on their own. They have a relatively strong memory along with the ability to solve many types of problems they've never seen before.

Due to these cognitive abilities, Experts tend to be less reliant on humans than other dogs. Their results in the social component of the Dognition Assessment, however, show it isn't that Experts can't understand humans — they're just more reliant on their own strategies, which have led them to success time and again.
