Your Canine's
Sense of Smell

A much larger part of a dog’s brain is devoted to processing smells than yours. Some search dogs locate people buried under the snow of avalanches, search for evidence in crime, and find people in the water. Cloudy days, mornings, and evenings are the best times for dogs to search. And depending on the conditions, dogs can pick up a scent up to a half a mile away!

Multiple Pet Households

If you decide to get a second pet, the most important thing you can do to promote household harmony is to introduce the two animals properly. This is a tough concept, because your instinct is to lavish both the new animal and the old one with plenty of affection. Ignore this instinct – neither animal will appreciate it. Instead, bring the new pet (we’ll say it’s another dog) into the house without making a big deal out of it, and let the two see each other. Stay in the vicinity to prevent aggressive maneuvers, but if no attacks are forthcoming, ignore both animals for awhile. Let them get a good look at each other while you

act the disinterested observer. If you are holding the new animal, keep the older one nearby so you can touch him too. There may be some aggressive posturing and growling as your dogs decide who the dominant one is, and it’s perfectly appropriate to keep them from beating up on each other.

Make sure your new dog has his own bed, food and water dishes, and toys. Don’t expect your dogs to “share” their stuff –they already have to share you!
