What is DOGTV? Is it a channel about dogs for humans? No, but that would be awesome.
DOGTV is a new on-demand television channel in the United States that’s been created for dogs! Finally, your dog can stay entertained while your family is out and about.
The programming has been scientifically designed to keep your canine relaxed, stimulated, and entertained while at home alone. It exposes them to various movements, sounds, experiences and behavioral patterns, all filmed and shot from a dog’s perspective. Even the music has been specially written for dogs.
Even the colour has been slightly adjusted for puppies, since dogs can see blue and yellow, but not red and green.
American animal expert Dr Nick Dodman believes that dogs understand what’s going on when they watch television, and that they may even respond differently when they’re watching their own breed.
Want to get your dog tuned in without waiting for the channel to come to Canada? Check out its website for some examples of the doggie programming. Here’s a clip of what to expect on the channel:
But what happens when we’ve created a generation of dog couch potatoes? Then what?!
