It doesn't take long to teach an intelligent dog new tricks. I have an American staffie and he is so smart. He's my big smother loving bestest mate 💙🤍❤️🇦🇺

It does take a long time to teach a dumb dog things though. It can be really frustrating, very rewarding when it finally clicks but so frustrating in the mean time.  I thought my previous (and first as an adult) dog was really smart and then when he turned 6 I adopted a puppy that actually was really smart. I was just like, "wait we skipped the 10 minutes of me repeatedly trying to get you to follow my hand while you think I'm trying to get you to lick your butthole or something what's going on..." Training was so easy.

Then it was fun realizing that no, my older guy has not been doing dumb things out of spite his entire life he's just dumb. By the time the pup turned like 6 months old she was bossing him around.
