Does Your Dog Watch TV?

Absolutely my lab watched crufts yesterday and kept jumping at the telly when he saw a dog run past!

Karma used to run into the room when she'd hear the dog whisperer... but she was more interested in the noise (other dogs) than the show its self. Boaz... he watches the TV like the RCA dogs; sitting with his head cocked to the side and his ears up. lol - I know he's not actually watching the show, but the noise and movement does keep his attention for a while sometimes (depending on the show). He "loves" AFV. And we keep the tv on when we're not home. (For those who think this doesn't help with separation anxiety... it really does. Our dogs can be a bit destructive when they're alone and it's quiet in the house (Boaz tore the bottom out of his crate when it was quite), but leave the tv on and we come home to the house being in the same condition we left it in. :-)

My terrier cross loves watching TV, if she sees a dog on any programe, she goes right up to the screen and jumps on her back legs to get even closer - so i know she recognises it is a dog! Also, if there is anything on with very bright colours she loves it!
