Seriously? I cross the US-Canada border all the time, and I'm a

I'm in the same situation and I've frequently got dogs
with me, and the understanding of what's okay and what's
not varies not only by which border crossing I'm using but
also by which agent - they have problems keeping up with
policies and especially policy changes, too. That said,
I've got a very good idea of what to expect and how it
will go. In all these years I've only been really surprised
once, and it was by a Canadian customs agent, not an
American.
What Dean said seems tautologically true to me, at least
for people who travel. On the other hand, I've found that
a policy of "Don't be a jerk to the people in the booth"
has been sufficient even in places that were completely
unfamiliar to me and is a reasonable substitute for
specific knowledge.
