Why does it seem like we can improve our bench press, minutes-per-mile, or alcohol tolerance much more than we can increase our IQ? Can a person with a 100 IQ get a 120 score after training? 130? Seems quite believable to me.

But, don't you think something new is being built within the brain? Interesting re: animals.
So, I'm pretty sure I could train an ape to get stronger, but I kind of feel like I could do the same with a dog as well. It's not that animals can't train their bodies or minds, it's that they just don't.

I don't think you can train a gorilla to be stronger - at least it's not something that anyone has ever proven possible Animals will adapt to circumstances but not by training exactly; birds get fatter in the winter, animals will lose fat under predator threat Training=signal

My gut says it's possible. All living species are adaptable. There are definitely before-and-after pictures on the internet of muscular dogs and horses though most of those are attributed to supplements.
