How Smart Is Your Dog?

We picked this up at the Goodwill for 50 cents.

This book does NOT actually help you determine how smart your dog is. However, it is replete with interesting facts about dogs, their anatomy and behavior.

The science activities alluded to in the title are varied - some of them are basically “guess what breed your dog is!?” while others are well-designed simple science experiments or instructions for training your dog. For example, I am currently training my dog to track scents like a bloodhound! Also, Dr. Coile suggests making noseprints using food coloring, essentially treating your dog's nose like a stamp. I cannot imagine what kind of dog would allow you to successfully execute this experiment.

Don't let the fact that it's written for children dissuade you. This is a great book!
