Dog Intelligence
In this podcast, author Jennifer S. Holland talks about dog intelligence - what types of intelligence do dogs have, how do we measure canine intelligence, what's the difference between intelligence and instinct, and how can we encourage our dogs to become more intelligent?
Jennifer has written a book about canine cleverness - Dog Smart: Life-Changing Lessons in Canine Intelligence, a cutting-edge science narrative, chock-full of heartwarming case studies, your quest to learn the true meaning of dog intelligence.
Jennifer is a science writer and author: she has flown in zero gravity over the Gulf of Mexico, dived with tiger sharks in the Bahamas and ducked below a reef-shark feeding frenzy on the Great Barrier Reef, shimmied up the tallest tree in Costa Rica, gone cobra hunting with a bare-handed Vietnamese farmer, camped on an active volcano in Hawaii, crawled into a bear’s den in northern Minnesota, and sat fireside with bushmen in Papua New Guinea learning to carve spears.
And now she's on DogCast Radio!
