Can a Dog Be Too Smart?

Some dogs are so smart they need a job to keep their brains happy, reports this article. It dives into pups like Border Collies, who are like the Einstein of dogs, herding anything that moves if you don’t give them puzzles or agility courses. Then there’s Poodles, who are curly-haired geniuses that ace obedience and tricks, and Belgian Malinois, intense tactical pros who thrive on complex tasks. Breeds like Dobermans, Shetland Sheepdogs, and even tiny Papillons also make the list, all craving mental challenges to avoid turning your shoes or furniture into their next project. Basically, these dogs are brilliant but need constant stimulation to stay out of mischief. https://iheartdogs.com/smart-dog-breeds-that-need-challenges/
