    My kid realized what was happening in elevators at the age of 2. It helped that those elevators had windows to show how it was moving. But I remember the exact moment he figured it out. You could see it written on his face.

    Adult dogs have the mental capacity of a 4-5 year old human, so they should be able to understand it, too.

            I’ve met border collies capable of doing multiplication and spelling their name. I’ve also met bulldogs who struggled not to drown themselves in their water dish. There’s a massive variation in how smart dogs can be and its certainly higher than an infant.
