People Are Sharing Stories About The Dumbest Dogs They’ve Ever Known In This Viral Thread (40 Pics)
We like to think that our dogs are the smartest, most adorable, friendliest creatures on Earth. But even the greatest doggo geniuses have dumb moments, and some canines seem like they’re born as giant floofy derps.
Twitter user Bum Chillups posted a story about the dumbest dog they ever owned and invited others to share their own tales. The thread got over 5.4k likes and was retweeted over 1.2k times. Which just goes to show that there are a lot of dumb (but loveable) dogs out there!
Scroll down for Bored Panda’s interview about canine intelligence with Clive Wynne, Professor of Psychology at Arizona State University and author of Dog is Love: Why and How Your Dog Loves You.

Professor Wynne believes that there is no such thing as “dumb” dogs, only dogs with varying abilities and dogs that are more adept in different fields. “In general dogs (like people!) vary in their abilities along many dimensions. It isn’t fair to reduce all that to a single dimension of ‘intelligence.’ Different dogs are better and worse at different things.”

That's so my dog but his reflection is in the fireplace (luckily not when it's on!)
Certain dog breeds generally seem smarter than others. Back in 1994, psychologist Stanley Coren ranked over 100 dog breeds based on 3 different types of intelligence: instinctive, adaptive, and working/obedience.
Instinctive intelligence is pretty much easy to understand. If a dog does the tasks it was bred to perform well (like hunting or herding animals), then it’s considered to have high instinctive intelligence.

My German Shepherd used to run down the dock and misjudge his ability to stop before the edge and then fall in. You'd think he'd learn his lesson as he hated swimming
Meanwhile, adaptive intelligence is a doggo’s ability to solve problems without help and to learn from its previous experiences. Finally, working (aka obedience) intelligence has everything to do with how quickly and easily a dog learns when its taught by us, humans.
However, Professor Wynne doesn’t agree with Coren’s insights and believes that dogs, just like people, are individuals with many different skills and aptitudes.

In solidarity........My youngest son, now 26......was given the prize of the Kay-Bee toy store lego pirate ship if he'd quit pooping in his diapers. Ok, .........his brother is 15 years older, I'd done this. He pulled his "Pull ups" down and and did his necessities in the front yard. I love my sons......and love me critters.

My mum had a lab like that. We thought it was fun to teach him to get the mail from our postlady and bring it up to the house (rural property.....super long driveway) But then he went on to retreive everything.... to the point where he would hustle you out of the car when returning from shopping to carry(not caring if things fell out or were broken)a bag or sometimes just hassle you for your handbag. Bringing back stuff = treat.....simple equation for him, whether you wanted his help or not.

Don’t call dogs (or anyone for that matter) dumb. Not one of these puppers is dumb.
Meanwhile, Nicholas Dodman, former program director of the Animal Behavior Clinic at the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine, told Dogster that he had two dogs, one of which was hyperactive while the other was lazy, but this wasn’t indicative of their level of intelligence.
“You would say Jasper was not as smart as Rusty. But once you were out on a trail, Jasper lit up. He was doing the job that nature intended him to do because he was a coonhound, and he was using his super-intelligent nose. He was brilliant at his job, but not so good at some other things,” Dodman explained.

Greed comes high on the list of characteristics of labradors....just saying..
So before deciding whether or not a dog is smart or dumb, it’s important to keep in mind what they were bred for and what their strengths as individuals are. In other words, you can’t judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree. Different dog breeds excel at different tasks. And the upside is, when a dog isn’t good at something, it leads to plenty of hilarious canine moments.

Hey! I have a boxer named Jameson that eats cigarette butts. He wandered in to the bar my boyfriend and I worked at when he was about 5(he's 15 now) and watched the bands play in the pit. He was chipped and his owners gave up on him(seriously) so we kept him. Since day 1 he eats cigarettes and cigarette butts(he ate an entire pack once and somehow didn't get sick, even the vet was shocked), laps up alcohol(no one gives it to him, he waits until someone isn't paying attention and drinks out of their cup), and is a womanizer. He buries his face in women's cleavage any chance he gets. I have no idea what his life was like for the first 5 years, but clearly he is a party dog. I've tried to get him to stop eating cigarettes/butts but he is so damn defiant about it. It's been 10 years and he's just learned to be more sneaky about it.

That happens once. Then you make sure she can't reach socks when left alone. Right? RIGHT?! Can't believe people like this have pets and think it's funny that they can't take care of them.
SirPatTheCat 5 years ago
Ohhh you'd be surprised. I'm guessing you've never had a sock eater? Those little buggers can find them places you didn't even know they were. Sock you thought you lost, but it was in some dark crevice in the depths of your closet? Check. Sock in the sock drawer that you didnt know she was able to open? Check. The possibilities are endless. Based on the fact that it's only happened three times, and dogs have to be left alone a lot more than that, I'd say it's not a common occurrence. That means that if the dog tries to eat socks every time she's left alone, and she's only gotten them three times, the owner is doing a pretty good job trying to prevent that. Also if the owner wasn't actually able to care for her properly and didn't love the dog she wouldn't still be taking care of her for so much trouble. There's lots of possibility and most of them don't end with "this person doesn't care about their dog".

He probably has a terrible headache and should be taken to the vet. It's not cute.

That's actually clever. I'm going to write this down for Professor Granger because this will be good evidence for her theory that dogs are as smart or even smarter than the average..... average.... carp (pardon my French), I don't know what I can say without offending anyone. Professor Granger, what's the most appropriate term for a human that does not use magic?

I have the same breed. Shes kinda an idiot too. She runs into kitchen counters, walls, eats rocks, and falls down stairs. She is also terrified of a certain tone of noise and will run around like crazy if she hears it. Shes as cute as hell tho.

One doesn't cancel out the other. Quite the opposite. Stupid and dangerous go hand in hand more often than not.

I do no like the title. Few of the dogs here are "dumb". Typically, humans calling other being "dumb" are really dumb. Many of these dogs have personality, and are very loveable. A few obviously are not kept by people who understand wat animals needs, and a few might even be abused.

This is why I don't have a dog. Not because I don't love them: they are sweet loving trusting darlings. But I'm not healthy enough to meet it's needs ie training walking etc. So I've found a happy medium with an aloof tabby, more self sufficient and maintainable. It would be unfair to have a dog even though I want one, if I can't give it a good life

Most of these are examples of very badly socialized and/or trained dogs. Not dumb, just no proper basic training of any kind. It's dumb nor normal for a dog to eat just about everything, or to be scared of everything, or to bite people, or anything like that. Accidents happen, but most of these describe 'normal', recurring behavior and that's not normal at all. I wish people had to take an exam before they could own a dog and be forced to do at least puppy (basic) training with any dog they get.

My first dog was a Pomeranian that jumped out of the third floor of a house, because he thought we were abandoning him. Falling through the grapevine in the yard is what saved him. He was a year old and it was our first family vacation with him. My dad hands him over to my uncle, while he goes to unload the car and by the time he gets downstairs to the front door, the dog was already waiting for him there.

I had a beagle that jumped through and out of the second story window screen just to chase a rabbit in the front yard. I also was walking her once and we turned the corner, I saw her grab something, and saw her swallow a bunny whole. She would have made a great hunting dog with some training (but I don't hunt).

My childhood mutt was the nicest dog, but we always joked that in all the mix-breeding, her brain was bred out. Friendlist, dumbest dog. For 15 years, we took her out the same door into the backyard to pee. Everyday. Multiple times per day. 50% of the time, she'd stand on the hinge-side of the door and be shocked when it opened the other way. Every single day.

My 80 lb dog tried to drown me on the only occasion I ever took him swimming. He's half labrador retriever. He also jumped out the window of a moving car to chase a turkey. He wasn't hurt, but definitely scared the hell out of me. Oh, and he once threw up a mostly whole, partially digested rabbit onto my son's baby blanket. God I love that dog though! He turns 12 this years and I really wish I could stop time.

I brought a puppy home for my mother when I was 16. Only 18 degrees F, the middle of winter, and this ball of floof took one look at the pool and jumped in... I jumped in right after it, believing it was going to drown, water was freezing!!! Once I surfaced, she was swimming circles around me. My parents spent the night trying to warm me back up. I didn't know that a Labrador/Malamute didn't need swimming lessons. I'm cold just remembering this. Bbbrrrrr!

My husband's german shaepard would attack all the sprinklers in the garden, pull them out one by one. It cost a fortune to keep replaycing. Also once stole an old lady's wig right from her head... it hunted it basically as if something alive was sitting on her head.

Looks like a lot of dog owners try to pass their dog's fears or disabilities as dumb. I'd say the owners are dumb. If you are afraid of darkness, spiders or any other thing, are you stupid then? Also if you are blind or crippled any other way, are you stupid? SAD

These dog owners are just trying to be "cute, Martti". I don't know what motivated Bun Chillups, next time he should ask for stories of dog loyalty and devotion to their owners.

i have a dog who once got stuck under the sofa in my room and woke me up at midnight so i had to move the toybox so she could get out and now she follows me everywhere

My dog loves my mom very much and has to be next to her at all times. This is important because it leads to why she did what she did in this story... She has a doggy door that gives her access to the backyard whenever she wants to. However, the door has three options: to go out and come back in, to come back in but not being able to go out, and to neither come in nor go out. When my dad was moving a boat in the backyard, my mom told me to lock the doggy door so we wouldn't have to worry about my dog getting driven over or something. My mom proceeds to go outside and help my dad (this is a big no no as you shall see very soon). I closed the doggy door and went to my room to work on some assignments and heard from a distance that my dog was trying to get through. After a while, she trots into my room (my room that is SEVERAL METERS AWAY FROM THE DOGGY DOOR) and starts sprinting to burst through her doggy door JUST TO GO SEE HER/MY MOM. She shattered the hinges, absolutely amazing...
