]]> Comment on Can dogs watch TV? by Marilyn http://houndbound.com/dogblog/2009/12/27/can-dogs-watch-tv/comment-page-1/#comment-60605 Marilyn Mon, 06 Feb 2012 21:47:35 +0000 http://houndbound.com/dogblog/?p=531#comment-60605 I have an almost five year old Australian Shepherd. He has watched TV from a very young age. I have had him since he was 9 weeks old. As time has gone by, he has become more and more addicted to TV. It is not unusual for him to watch a 2 hour long romantic movie with no animal content or action. He also whines and/or tilts his head if an actor shows sadness. Though he is interested in TV shows that contain animals, that is not the only thing he watches. And he does't get excited...just gets hooked on the content of the show. He also loves cartoons that contain animals and recognizes the animal cartoons as being animals. He also has a kazillion favorite commercials. He even knows by the beinning sound if Ha favorite is coming up that he hasn't seen or heard in over a year. He used to love an insurance commercial that contained a terrier who would bury his bone in the commercial to the song "Trouble". It hasn't been on for a long time. But the other night on the new "Voice" show there was a fellow singing the song "Trouble" on the show (same song as in the commercial). He recognized the song immediately on "The Voice". He does love music a lot. He also recognizes the theme of the type of show or part of a show that shows mystery, romance and other subjects. Some of his favorite shows are "Dancing with the Stars", the Victoria Secret Lingerie Special" and many other shows that shouldn't in any way attract the attention of a dog. It's almost eerie how long he can watch some of these show and never lose interest. If they are a series, he immediately recognizes the beginning seconds of what themesong of the show or commercial. He is really quite amazing. Bravo competes in herding and he has a very special rapport with the livestock. No chasing and biting. He has a confab with the stock before he starts on a course and the stock seem to respect him and understand his willingness to cooperate with them and visa versa. When the course is finished he will often walk over to the lead sheep and give it a kiss on the nose...very much like two human competitors shaking hands at the end of the competition.
