I didn't do the test but I sat here and thought about what Dakota would do based on things she's done in the past! So I didn't make a barrier, but our open hole in our counter that they often watch us through was my "barrier" and Dakota is very smart about going around things to get what she wants. Even if Daddy asks her for a treat she will go to the kitchen and sit by the counter to get that treat until he gets there. She scored a 21. I knew she was smart though. How many dogs take a small square of a couch pillow, get all the stuffing out and play with it without hurting the pillow. She simply unzipped it even though the zipper is half covered up. My girls are always pulling stuff like this. The pillow didn't even look touched except for the stuffing all over the floor, LOL!

Destiny got a 15, I knew she was smart but not quite as smart as Dakota. Of course, I couldn't add the 10 points for either dog for doing the barrier since I never technically constructed it. Can you imagine trying to make one of those taller than Dakota, that's about the size of Brian, maybe a little bit taller!
