The same dog, why is Hal's IQ so touching?

Speaking of huskies, whether they have been raised or not, they all know that their IQ is very touching and they often do things that make people laugh and cry. For example, the cage door is clearly open, but huskies have to struggle out of the gap.

Husky's obedience is not good, no matter what instructions are taught, it is difficult to learn; However, even if no one taught them how to demolish houses, some people called Husky "Demolition Brigade".

In addition, huskies often do things that people can't understand, such as pretending to throw food at them, and they will still look everywhere when they obviously don't see any food.

When testing what the dog will do when the owner faints, Bian Mu and Ke Ji will approach the owner and try to wake him up. But huskies will pee on their owners, and some huskies will jump around their owners for fear that they will come back to life.

In addition, in the competition to test the dog's sensitivity, other dogs performed very well, which was amazing, while Hal acted as if he were not a dog, and everything was slow.

It is precisely because of the uniqueness of huskies and their wild and unruly personality that people often say that "between Hal and his master, there must be one who is crazy".

Then the problem is coming. It's also a dog. Why can other dogs understand their owners' instructions and be warm-hearted little pets, while Husky's IQ is so touching?

strong

In fact, huskies are excellent breeds with strong cold tolerance. They were originally local breeds raised by indigenous people living in the Arctic.

Huskies are not kept as family pets, but as sled dogs and as a means of transportation when going out. This is because the Arctic is so cold that horses, cows and other creatures can't overcome the cold.

Because huskies are originally used to make sled dogs, local people will keep individuals with good physical strength and high cold resistance when screening individuals, so huskies are more energetic.

However, today's huskies have left their jobs and become people's pets. The space at home is not big enough. If people don't walk their dogs for a long time, they can't kill huskies' exuberant energy. They can only have fun by themselves, that is, tear down their homes.

Many netizens on the Internet said that if Husky's energy can be killed during the day, then Husky will not tear down his home, but will be smart.

In addition, huskies are not domesticated as companion dogs, so their obedience is poor, but if they are taught patiently, they can still master many instructions. And sometimes dogs don't listen to instructions, not because of their low IQ, but because they have their own ideas and are unwilling to cooperate with humans. The most typical is the border collie, whose IQ is very high, but because of this, they can't be police dogs, because they will have their own ideas and can't fully carry out orders.

Dog's IQ

There is a ranking table of dog IQ circulating on the Internet. Border herders often rank first, while huskies rank very low. In fact, this IQ ranking table is not very accurate, because this test is an imprecise experiment.

Nowadays, the ranking of dog IQ commonly used by people is a ranking made by Columbia University psychologist coren, who divides dog IQ into three categories: instinct, adaptability and work obedience.

But nowadays, people cannot define IQ. Even the IQ of human beings, we can't test everyone's IQ by scientific means. Some people say: Einstein's IQ is very high, but outside Einstein's familiar fields, Einstein's IQ may not be as good as that of ordinary people.

In other words, IQ has many dimensions, but we often use some familiar dimensions to test IQ, such as people with good academic performance and people who are very successful in doing things. So is the dog. We often regard dogs with high obedience and high interaction with human beings as dogs with high IQ.

From this point of view, Husky's IQ is really not high, but it's just like letting a sports student take part in a math contest. Husky is not good at these things, but drives his master in the freezing snow in the north.

From this perspective, Hal is not only not stupid, but also very powerful.

abstract

Now Hal is rarely a sled dog, and more and more people keep them as pet dogs. Compared with their ancestors, Hal's personality has converged a lot, but their nature in their bones still makes them do some incredible things, but some of these things make their owners laugh, while others make their owners feel very headache.
