Dogs therefore have better hearing than humans, no doubt about it. They are more sensitive to it and it is important to understand it since it means that a noise which may seem harmless to our ears can ultimately significantly disturb a dog. Dog’s fine hearing is four times greater than in humans. In addition, it perceives sound waves of 50,000 hertz, whereas humans will perceive these waves up to 30,000 hertz.
