I would love to say that the best way to search this site is to use the search box, but I can't.

Last night, I received a message on the Facebook page asking for advice on introducing two Dutch Shepherds. I always direct people to the forum website, because I am the only one who sees those messages.

I know I've seen a couple of posts on introducing dogs, so feeling extra helpful, I did a search here. Unfortunately, all I could get was a ton of posts where people were introducing their dog to the forum :(

Here's where I am going to let you in on a useful secret. For those of you that already know about it, consider this just a little reminder.

You can force Google to perform a search on just about any website. There's two ways to do this:
1. The advanced search page for Google -> https://www.google.com/advanced_search
2. In the regular search box, add the following to the end-> site:websitename.com

When I searched using the following: introducing two site:dutchshepherdforum.com - The first item in the response was exactly what I was looking for. :wtg:
