healthypets.mercola.com/sites/healthypets/archive/2022/07/29/what-does-dog-like-to-watch-on-tv.aspxStory at-a-glance Researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison are conducting a study to better understand how dogs interact with videos, in the hopes of uncovering more about dogs’ vision Researchers believe that videos could be used to hold dogs’ attention long enough to gather more information about their vision — if they can figure out which videos dogs like most To do so, they’re conducting a citizen-science study, asking dog owners all over the world to participate in a dog TV survey Participants are asked to present four short videos of potentially interesting subjects, such as animals or objects, to their dogs, then rate how interested the dog was in each video If you’d like to get involved, you can opt to participate in the dog TV survey with your own pooch and potentially help to uncover more clues about dogs’ eyesight My notes: Does your pet like the TV? Years ago, I had ours on when we went away as I thought it would help with her separation anxiety. I don't know if it really helped or not. She never "watched" TV. I don't think she really paid attention to the talking either.

My Dog never watched TV since it stays in another room and in most of my relatives home their dogs too won't watch. I see a lot of Dogs here are busy for barking against street dogs, cats and mouse. If a dog is well trained, then it would watch TV calmly as per my knowledge.

I can see having it on if you are not home all day and at work but not just to have it on.

Never had a dog but for being at places that do, they seem to watch along with their owners. Not sure if they fully understand what TV is, but it seems to keep them chill when the owners don't want to play.

Our little schnauzer was not interested in tv. My daughter's bulldog, on the other hand, LOVES commercials! She isn't interested in many tv shows but once a commercial comes on, she likes to check it out.

One of my dogs paid attention to the tv when I had Teletubbies on. Don't know why she seemed to like that show. Maybe for the same reason I did, it was relaxing.

I don't have a dog, but my inlaws do. However their chihuahua Maya never watches tv, she's usually too distracted by the kids running down our street or cars driving by and starts barking at them. xD She doesn't like when we watch movies, she'll run and hide since my in laws have a surround sound system hooked up.

I'm addicted to watching football and my dog have started to enjoy it too. It even understand it now especially when goals are scored, he will jump and spin around in celebration with me 😂.
