> Being smart and obedient are two orthogonal things. I used to think that, but I think a more accurate picture across all sentient social creatures is the following. IQ on range 0-10 (0 being the lowest) - 0-4, too low to understand commands, ignorant disobedience, easily confused - 5-6, mostly obedient, only disobedient through distraction (food, mates, tired, stressed) - 6-8, can overcome some of physical and situational issues, occasionally disobedient due to IQ - 9-10, freewill, obedient only as a peer. Will absolutely not do something it doesn't want to do.
