Neither, actually. The researchers first learned that they are both quite intelligent, but in different ways.

For example - dogs can be taught to 'stay' when told, with your hand up. And, they still can stay when you put your hand down.

Wolves, on the other hand, will stay, but when your hand goes down, they no longer stay, despite having been taught to their whole lives.

Whereas, when 2 domestic dogs who live together had a long contraption that gave treats, they didn't learn to consistantly pull one rope each, at the same time, at either end of the contraption to get their reward.

Wolves, on the other hand, could and did work together to get the treat.

Which makes sense to me, since wolves rely on one another to get food, at least part of the time. Dogs...not so much. They've learned to tell time and stare at us, or dance, if dinner is late!
