Remember intelligence doesn't mean easy to train. Different breeds have different temperaments and different training methods work better. I remember someone saying once "you tell a border collie, but you ask a papillon" in regards to training.

Intelligence rankings usually is measure of a dogs trainability and their desire to please humans because of how intelligence is determine breeds that are independent by nature and problem solve on their own tend to to score low in these intelligence ratings.

For example a greyhound will score very low he was bred to be an independent hunter, find the game, catch it - the precessing of catching require a great skill inorder to complete the task before it expends all it's energy, so it needs to read the prey movements to know what direction it wil bolt, when it will veer and turn so as to be in the right peosition for the catch , kill it and return with it. The Waterloo Cup which ended a couple years ago because of the use of live hares was the true test and measure of a greyhounds thinking ability, in effect it has the same thinking and calculating ability as a border collie but because it was bred to work alone it sees no purpose in following commands it is self serving not man serving so is not as trainable as the border collie despite the fact it has the same thinking/calculating abilty of a border collie, it is not as food motivated either, it will look at you like you are stupid if you want it to this and that all for a tiny little treat and simply walk off and go lay down, In it's view it is not worth the effort, when he can go out and catch his own treat which will be much more fun and rewarding to him as a result the greyhound also able to use reason and logic far more so than other dogs do.
