Seriously? I cross the US-Canada border all the time, and I'm a citizen of both countries, and I can still barely keep up with the constant, apparently random revocations niggly little details of local conventions at each crossing since last I crossed there.
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.
