Don’t Underestimate the Power of Your Dog’s Nose
It is important to remember just how powerful our dog’s noses are. They could be up to 100,000 times more sensitive than our own. A common quote is that a dog would be able to sniff out a single drop of blood from an area as large as an Olympic-sized swimming pool!
Their sense of smell is crucial for communicating, exploring, and evaluating.
