Review # 1 was written on 2012-03-12 00:00:00 Henrik Abel We picked this up at the Goodwill for 50 cents. This book does NOT actually help you determine how smart your dog is. However, it is replete with interesting facts about dogs, their anatomy and behavior. The science activities alluded to in the title are varied - some of them are basically "guess what breed your dog is!?" while others are well-designed simple science experiments or instructions for training your dog. For example, I am currently training my dog to track scents like a bloodhound! Also, Dr. Coile suggests making noseprints using food coloring, essentially treating your dog's nose like a stamp. I cannot imagine what kind of dog would allow you to successfully execute this experiment. Don't let the fact that it's written for children dissuade you. This is a great book!

Review # 2 was written on 2013-05-18 00:00:00 Andrew Godbee Both Nutty (dog) and myself (human) enjoyed these activities immensely. Lots of fun and with 30 tricks to try if either dog or human cannot get to grips with one then you can simply move on to the next. Win-win and definitely recommended (although it helps if you have a dog.
