YOUR DOG'S SENSES

COLLECT INFORMATION
One of the most misunderstood aspects of a dog's life is their reliance on their senses. They use them to analyse the environment around them and make split-second assessments as to what type of behaviour is the most appropriate (see Memory). By understanding how dogs depend upon and use their senses we can develop a deeper understanding of how to train and motivate our pet, how to fulfill its working instincts, and how to prevent or change behaviour that we find undesirable.

DIFFERENT DOGS
There are some key points to remember when comparing how one dog uses its senses to that of another.
