An infographic that tells the viewer how stress is manifested in kennelled dogs, through both behavioural alterations and changes in physiological parameters. Different methods to expose dogs to olfactory stimuli are also discussed, along with the effects that various scents have had on the behaviours of kennelled dogs. Lastly, I describe future applications of the results I have read through. These applications will be useful for shelters, foster homes, or other stressful environments that dogs might encounter.
