 Humans communicate in this order...

Dogs communicate in this order...
1. Smelling
2. Seeing

3. Hearing


Both humans and dogs have the same three senses sight, hearing and smelling. We communicate in this order hearing, seeing, and then smelling. However, dogs primarily communicate by smelling, seeing and lastly hearing. 

Smelling
A dog’s sense of smell is many, many times more sensitive than us. While we can smell something like curry sauce as one smell, a dog can smell each individual ingredient in the curry sauce. Dogs can also smell the precise direction the sense come from.
When a dog smells something, it can get an entire story in detail. From this, they have the ability to know about another dog or human including what they have eaten, where they have been, what they have touched, and so on. When your dog smells, they are actually reading a story, not just smelling an interesting scent.
