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!

Training Dogs is a Family Effort

You’ll read this several times in this text, because repetition is the soul of education, and we aren’t just talking about teaching dogs here: we are talking about teaching humans to teach their dogs; fairly, consistently and effectively. All the humans in the household pack should help with the training for the sake of consistency. It’s not very helpful to a dog to have one person encouraging her to bark while another is hushing her. Make sure everyone in the household is on board with Bark Prevention Training so that the dog will not suffer any confusion about what she is supposed to do.

Also, make sure everyone uses the same command words,or you’ll be confusing your dog and lessening the effectiveness of training. If you say “hush” to our dog and I say “quiet” instead, the poor dog is left trying to figure out the difference between what we’re asking her to do.
