Smell is the most important tool for dogs with which they interact with the world around them. A dog's nose is 400 times more sensitive than a human's nose. But, like a person, some smells seem pleasant to dogs, and some can cause irritation.
Instructions
Step 1
Those smells that will displease the dog include, first of all, the same ones that irritate the mucous membrane of a person. These are the smells of freshly ground pepper, organic matter fermented to vinegar, acetone, solvents and cleaning aerosols, and other household chemicals. The sensitive nose of the dog reacts to them much more strongly, moreover, they can irritate not only the nasal mucosa, but also the eyes.
Step 2
The pungent odor of chlorine, vinegar or volatile substances emitted from freshly laid asphalt also destroys the olfactory cells. This has a detrimental effect on the olfactory abilities of dogs - urban dogs "take the trail" worse than those that grew in the fresh air. Therefore, you should not give the dog to sniff ammonia during fainting, characteristic of some diseases. Owners of hunting dogs, whose working qualities, first of all, depend on a developed sense of smell, should remember this and try to protect their pet from the need to spoil the scent by inhaling household chemicals.
Step 3
Most dogs do not like the smell of alcohol, although many associate this dislike with the behavior of a drunk person, who, as a rule, talks too loudly and waves his arms. But even if a drunk just walks by, dogs can accompany him by barking all the way home.
Step 4
Dogs do not like the smell of essential substances secreted by citrus fruits - lemons, grapefruits, oranges. Even a very loving dog will refuse to eat a piece of such a fruit from the owner's hands. The action of special collars is based on this dislike, designed to wean the puppy from barking in vain. With prolonged loud barking in such a collar, a device is triggered that emits a pungent citrus smell, after which the dog begins to control its behavior so as not to sniff it once again.
