The book also comes complete with advice for analyzing your dog’s score and improving their IQ if they don’t turn out to be quite the wonder dog you expected.

Reviews

[Billiejo · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was super fun. Easy multiple choice tests and quirky, funny answers to choose from.

[Lynnea · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very fun but some questions seemed to be rated in the wrong direction. Like leaving a treat in a room and showing the dog you don't have it. They score higher for asking you for the treat rather than going in the room to get it.

[Nikki · Rating 4 out of 5]

Loads o' fun! Some of the questions are silly and entertaining (like what profession would your dog have and what would be his favorite tv show) while other questions have activities for you to do with your dog! We had fun playing with Libby and testing her IQ! She ranked Loyal Companion, just under Pure Genius. Good fun for all dog lovers!!

Turns out our Bailey is highly intelligent. I may have fudged the answers on the activity test, but whatever.

Test din hund er en humoristisk selvhjælpsbog/guide eller hvad man skal kalde den. Den fortæller med stor humor om de mange aspekter ved en hund. Selv om det hele bliver leveret pakket godt ind i humor, er der alligevel noget alvor gemt bag ved. Bogen giver god information, på trods af hvordan den er forfattet og dens ringe størrelse.

Bogen er komplimenteret af en række morsomme og søde tegninger hele vejen igennem. Det tilføjer kun mere morskab til det, og gør den mere let at læse. Jeg ved ikke helt, hvem jeg skulle anbefale bogen til.. Måske en sjov værtsgave til hundeejeren eller gave i et pakkespil. Den kan helt klart bringe sjov og morskab med sig. Den er ikke til dyb viden eller mere indgående information. Men nogle gange er små facts og humoristiske indslag jo også alt man har brug for.
