Feh.
I’d go as far as saying that some breeds have as much intelligence as a 2-yr old child.

There was a study years ago that determined German Shepherds were as smart as 12 year olds. Of course, there are smart 12 year olds and dumb 12 year olds just like there are smart and dumb dogs. Our current crop are on the lower end of the scale. How I miss my old husky who was smarter than most people of any age.

I have found I can train a six month old dog but it takes about 18 years to half train a human baby. My conclusion is that dogs are easier to train than humans. My hypothesis (which has yet to be tested rigorously) is that is because dogs are smarter than humans.

I’d be willing to say my dogs have more intelligence than my Congresswomen and Senators!

We will tell our Maltese-yorkie-poo to go get the ball, and she will run into another room and locate it and bring it back.
That’s intelligence beyond even six months.
Then the two inherited Chihuahuas from my wife’s family aren’t intelligent enough to let us know they have to use the restroom. So, it depends on the breed.

Some breeds are more trainable than others.
It also depends on what you want the dog to do. Consider how the TV dog wisperer can get dogs to things the owners never could. Understanding dog psychology and communication has a great deal with how a dog will respond.
Trying to compare human and animal intelligence is problematic anyway.

I got a Jack Russell and I'd put him up against our president in an intelligence test any day of the week.

I had a lab mix that not only understood the meaning of certain words, e.g. go out, but rapidly learned the meaning of spelled words, e.g. g-o o-u-t.
