I'm pretty sure dogs understand approximately the function of an elevator, in the same way they understand a car. Even though they don't see outside moving, they can feel when the elevator starts moving and the direction of it
My dog hated elevators the first couple years we used them when we’d travel to see my in-laws. The floor is moving? She wanted nothing to do with that. Even now I’d say she only tolerates them.
She still hates the grates inside the entrances of Canadian hotels that I think are to help deal with melting snow. They tend to sink/bounce as you walk across them. She tries to go around or leap over them, or runs across them like they’re a platform in a video game that will fall if you stand on them too long.

Likely she is ripping out paw pad hairs as the slats shift around and pinch together, and there is the possibility of getting claws stuck as well.
That's why my largest dog doesn't like them.
Maybe, although I think the ones we’ve encountered usually have a large doormat covering them
My kid realized what was happening in elevators at the age of 2. It helped that those elevators had windows to show how it was moving. But I remember the exact moment he figured it out. You could see it written on his face.
Adult dogs have the mental capacity of a 4-5 year old human, so they should be able to understand it, too.

Yeah, no. 2-2.5 - maaaybe
Entirely depends on the breed and their upbringing.
Yeah. Within that range.
I've met border collies capable of doing multiplication and spelling their name. I've also met bulldogs who struggled not to drown themselves in their water dish. There's a massive variation in how smart dogs can be and its certainly higher than an infant.
Bro only farts because of the pressure change.
Hey man I'm right there with you. When I was a kid I thought the elevator stayed in place and the building moved.
Even my cat understands the concept. I don't think they understand why you do it, though, just that everything suddenly changes.
