McGreevy mentioned various dog sensory capacity stats throughout his seminar.\u00a0 This is only a brief post, but still interesting!<\/p>\n

Sense of Smell<\/span><\/p>\n

Dogs sense of smell is 100 times stronger than people\u2019s.\u00a0 As dog owners and trainers, we need to understand how \u2018smelly\u2019 the world is for dogs, and what that means for dogs when they\u2019re trying to concentrate on us!<\/p>\n

Smelling is a key skill for dogs, but there is no decent way to test the olfaction of dogs.\u00a0 McGreevy suggested that cognitive function may be linked to sense of smell.<\/p>\n

Hearing<\/span><\/p>\n

Dogs have better hearing than us.\u00a0 In particular, they can hear stuff that is higher in frequency than humans can hear.\u00a0 The distance between a dog\u2019s ears predict how much they can hear (but I don\u2019t remember the equation, sorry!).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dog Sight<\/span><\/p>\n

Dogs are quite attuned to picking up visual signals.\u00a0 Different dog breeds have different retinas, and so see in different ways.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Of course, there is a lot more that could be said about dog senses, but these are just what McGreevy mentioned over the course of the seminar.<\/p>\n
