My dog failed the most basic IQ test

Good thing she's pretty.   

If you show your dog a treat, then put it under a paper cup, is your dog smart enough to knock over the cup and get the treat?

Caden starts snorting all over my face, because he knows it's a game and THAT'S EXCITING, but he can't figure it out.  Much like his grasp on life in general.

maybe she just respects boundaries.

My dog is super food motivated, so he can definitely do  that.  Have you ever read hyperbole and a half's post on giving her dog an IQ test.  It was hilarious.  link

I wish this was the case, but it's not.  I had already alerted her and told her she was going to get a treat. When I moved the cup to have the treat poke out just a tiny bit she went for it.

Lol. My dog managed to barf and poop all over the carpet in both kids rooms tonight (including ON ds's toddler chair) . That makes her gifted, right?

When we tried this trick my idiot dog did every trick he knows, ran to the door and came back, knocked me over, chewed the cup, then finally found the treat. Decided he didn't like it after all and walked away. Maybe next time with a better treat.

We have trained her to lay down for treats.  The first time I tested her she bowed down to the cup.  We laughed so hard.

Our lab is so smart she would eat both the paper cup AND the treat.
