The NOSE Knows

 

The NOSE Knows!

Dogs naturally know how to use their nose for things that come natural to dogs.  They figure out pretty quickly which scents are appealing to them, which scents mean danger, and definitely which scents come from desirable mates.  But with a bit of training we can teach them which scents are important to us and which scents they should ignore.  

My June Theme of the Month was "The NOSE Knows!" and this page pulls all the blog posts about the dog's wonderful nose into one place to make it easy for you to find.
