Are Tibetan Terriers smart?

Yes, Tibetan Terriers are quite smart, particularly when it comes to their problem-solving abilities and social intelligence. They’re known for being independent thinkers, a trait that likely comes from their history as watchdogs in Tibetan monasteries. This type of intelligence makes them quick learners, especially when they’re motivated by positive reinforcement and a strong bond with their pet parents. 

Their intelligence isn’t just about learning cues, though; they also tend to be great at picking up on human emotions and tuning into the social environment around them. This makes them very intuitive and loyal companions.
