Why and what are you watching dogs on TV

From Sunny California for a few months already broadcast a unique TV show designed specifically for four-legged friends.

Despite the fact that access to on-channel DogTV is paid, the service is in great demand among dog owners who care because they understand that while the owners are at work, pet sitting in four walls and missing. A bored dog is not only sad and unfair, but also leads to overturned furniture, nibbled books and other dirty tricks...





The first question that arises: is not "overworked" Americans inventing television for the animals? Maybe it's just a way to earn money and hang us noodles on the ears? However, more and more dog owners notice that their Pets with interest, glancing at the blue screen – in the proof can be found more than five thousand videos on YouTube with such scenes. And this despite the fact that TV shows absolutely not designed for the canine audience. However, at the sight of dogs and other other animals, or just moving items on the screen, four-legged demonstrate a clear understanding and genuine interest.

Why didn't we think of this before? Experts say that it's all in the transition to digital television and flat LCD monitors. Old TV image flickered with frequency of 50-60 Hz – just a little bit, and we could discern with the naked eye. But a dog's perceptual speed faster — 70-80 Hz, and if we were in their place, looking at the screen constantly flashing, we began to nervously shake. In modern screens, the update rate of images went over the milestone of 100 Hz, so the dogs finally see what is happening on the screen is not worse than us.









DogTV was created by experts in the field of sabcomeline and veterinary practice as a "TV babysitter" for the four legged friends who are forced to stay home alone. Again, not much to pay for a "sitter" for the dog? If you think about it, just not too much: the pet is not a wild animal that lives a busy life in their environment... the pet's achieveone creature with the emotional development of a 3 year old and he needs a corresponding attitude. Studies show that Pets feel better in the company of TV: it brightens up the everyday life of the dog, reduce stress levels and supports the tone of their cognitive activity.

DogTV takes into account typical daily cycle of dogs and according to him illustrate the different types of gear: relaxing or stimulating gaming content and videos with the positive reinforcement of "good" behaviors (obedience, commands, politeness in public places, proper hygiene habits, etc.)

Man video DogTV seems strange and funny, as it shows the world as what it can see our Pets: a different camera angle, different contrast and colors, a true "dog" scenarios, and special sound effects to those frequency ranges that are simply irritated by our "untrained" ears. But it's not bad, considering that dogs love and owners still not home. All these specific features of shooting and scoring – the result of four years of research and tests, so the creators of the channel are sure in 100% attractiveness and availability of content for four-legged friends.





DogTV is recognized by the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) and supported by leading animal organizations, including the American society for the prevention of cruelty to animals (ASPCA) and the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), as a valuable informational and educational product to improve the quality of life of dogs.
