How do dogs perceive their heightened senses of smell and hearing? Do they have any process to prevent information overload due to overlapping smells and sounds from far away? 

I thought about this on my German shepherds walk yesterday while he was in a very energetic mood. He wanted to sniff everything and I couldn't help but wonder how he manages the fact that he can smell the tree, the dogs who peed on the tree, the trash can, the food in the trash can, the squirrels, the footprints of other people, ect. How do they manage all the information they get from their senses?

The dog brain has a significantly more developed olfactory area than the human brain, and essentially acts more as a vision compliment than you would imagine it based on your experience. The wet nose even serves to detect the direction of wind, allowing stereoscopic smelling.

So basically, "how do you manage all that information from your eyes?" The same way, just different.
