Dognition 평가 시스템의 근거
운영 원리: Dognition의 과학 기반 평가는 5가지 cognitive dimension(인지 차원) 전반에 걸쳐 개가 실제로 어떻게 사고하는지 분석함. 이를 통해 효과적인 훈련 팁을 선별하고 비효율적인 방식은 배제 가능함.
연구 기반: Dr. Brian Hare와 Vanessa Woods의 연구 및 방법론에 기초함.
주요 기관: Duke Canine Cognition Center.
핵심 발견:
"smart" isn't one number — (지능은 하나의 단일 수치가 아님)
개는 5가지의 뚜렷한 인지 차원을 통해 사고하며, 최상의 훈련은 그 사고방식에 맞는 방법을 선택하는 것임.

Dognition's science-based assessment reveals how your dog actually thinks across five cognitive dimensions — so you can pick the tips that will land, and skip the ones that won't.
Assess Your Dog
Based on the work of Dr. Brian Hare & Vanessa Woods
Every Dognition guide, assessment, and blog post is grounded in the research and methodologies of Dr. Brian Hare and Vanessa Woods at the Duke Canine Cognition Center. Their work established that "smart" isn't one number — dogs think across five distinct cognitive dimensions, and the best training matches the method to the mind.
