I made a little movie clip the other day. I wanted to check out the fancy features on my flatscreen TV, and managed to play it back on the big screen, signed into my YouTube account.

Beau was watching it while lying on the ottoman, his spot, really, and started a vigorous happy tail wagging! He was watching Mojo up there on the big screen! Made him happy, I swear it!

So, it got me wondering, who else here just knows their dog is watching TV, and reacts with familiarity?

Both my dogs will watch, especially if animals are on. We have to mute the sound though; if dogs are barking they think their territory is being invaded and must respond!! lol

My dogs get loaded up when I play vids from their protection training sessions.

Sarge watches National Geographic and FIDO Channel. He especially takes notice when dogs or other animals are making noises/sounds. I love to watch the expressions on his face. LOL Whenever I have to leave him home (not too often), I always turn on one of these channels for him.

Mine definitely did. She would actually follow the animals around from side to side, even if the sound was off. If she wasn't paying attention or was in another room we could say "there's a doggie on TV" and she would take off to the tv and look for it.

No, I've never yet had any dog in the house that paid
any sort of attention to the telly whatsoever (apart from
the occasional ear-raise when a door slams or a
gun goes off on TV). I'm aware some do. Still waiting
for it to happen chez Hundmutter.

One of my Border Collies is besotted with the television, especially the adverts. He knows most adverts that come on and the ones he doesn't like, he howls loudly at. There's certain theme tunes to programmes he doesn't like either.

When he does howl, my German Shepherd joins in too. The noise is deafening then.

Now Spooks reminds, my last GS Taz did howl along
to certain themes, but he wasn't watching the set as
he did so. The howling itself was a first, with my lot.
