| Re: are dogs capable of complex thoughts?? Chivas knew the difference and name of many of her toys, which she had tons of. I would give her a new toy, tell her what it was (ex. MONKEY), then a couple days later - tell her to get her monkey out of her quite full toybox, about 85% of the time she got the right one, if it WAS the wrong one I would say "no go get the MONKEY" and she would drop the wrong toy and then always get the right one. I dont know if Chivas was exceptionally bright just because she WAS or if because we spend so much time with her.
