This pup wants to go out so bad - watch how he asks his owner

To be fair, he starts out by asking very nicely! But then he gets more frustrated and, well...it's time to take drastic measures! He has to show his owner he's serious about going on that walk.
German shepherds are pretty darn great. And America agrees! The American Kennel Club reports that they are the 3rd most popular dog, due to their loyalty, steady temperament, and intelligence.

But just how intelligent are they?
As Mental Floss points out, there aren't many dog owners who would claim their dogs aren't smart. But being actually classified as intelligent requires some pretty impressive skills! To be in the top tier (which of course they are) they have to be able to learn a new command in under 5 repetitions! That's pretty smart!
They also have to obey a command given to them (the first time) 95% of the time. That's pretty impressive - I feel like not even all humans make that classification!
