Saratoga
School for Dogs
I have
trained six dogs in the last twenty years at Saratoga School for Dogs,
14451 Fruitvale Avenue, Saratoga 408-867-9223. We have boarded dogs
here, too; but prefer now to get a house sitter as we have three and
spoil them more than before.
This is from "The Intelligence
of Dogs", Stanley Coren, Free Press. 100 dog obedience
judges rated breeds of dogs for overall working and obedience intelligence.
Translation: what a dog can learn to do to make his or her owner
happy. Stanley Coren concludes, "Pick a dog on
the basis of your lifestyle. A border collie is an absolutely terrible
dog for a working person. If you have a (smart) dog…you have
to spend time with him."
This
list then are 133 pedigreed dogs ranked according to their ability
to learn owner-pleasing behavior.
