Intelligence
We distinguish between three forms of intelıgence: the instınctive, the practical, and the adaptive.
By instinctive intelligence we mean all hereditary skills and behavior. The hunting drive, for instance, is a form of instinctive intelligence: every puppy runs after a moving object.
By practical intelligence we mean the speed with which, and the to which, a dog conforms to the desires of the handler.
Put another way, this is how quickly and how correctly the dog learns different
exercises.
Adaptive intelIigence can be divided into two abilities:learning proficiency, which means how quickly the dog develops adequate behavior in a new situation, and problem-solving ability, which refers to the dogs skill in choosing the correct behavior to solve a problem.
