Have your papers ready to hand over before you get to the gate (including papers for pets). Answer all questions asked politely and accurately. Don't answer questions that weren't asked. Keep in mind that the agents at the border are people too and sometimes have good/bad days, just like everyone else.
Should you leave time? YES! Why? Because you never know. It seems they pick people at random, although it's uncommon. (It's never happened to me, but has to my parents.) Also, leave more time for the crossing back into the US than for the crossing into Canada. In my experience the traffic back-ups for the the US side tend to be worse, although this could be related to the particular crossing point.
