In fact professional dog trainers have said this for years. Now science agrees,.

Training your dog involves teaching them simple commands like sitting, where they initially don’t understand that they will be rewarded for this behavior. Once they realize the connection between the behavior and the reward, they will consistently offer the behavior.

As you progress to teaching your dog more tricks or commands, you may notice that they learn them faster than the previous ones. During each command or trick, your dog engages in problem-solving and understands your goals, which leads to the reward.

Training programs for dogs include teaching them multiple commands and tricks, some of which are more difficult than others. Certain tricks may require several stages of learning, similar to the initial difficulty of learning to sit.

Your dog’s ability to learn these tasks improves with each new thing you teach them. Dogs enjoy learning, and it benefits their mental and physical health to continue learning throughout their lives, just like humans.

Does training make your dog smarter? Yes, it enhances their intelligence and cognitive abilities.
