Watching television - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Alfie has always 'watched television ever since we brought him home from his breeder but never avidly. However in the last week he's started taking a particular intrest in any animals that appear on the t.v. If it's just people no intrest, but dogs and farm animals seam of particular intrest, he gets right up to the t.v and tries to sniff the animal so he's fully aware its an aminal. Does anyone elses dog have have this particular 'intrest'? Or is it something only a few odd pesonalities develope?

Bluebelle does watch occasionally, but we don't really have animal TV on, we are a sci-fi household. She always watches when we go to bed at the end of the bed - it's very funny. We were watching the Truman show the other day...the part where he is pretending to be an astronaut in the mirror and makes a strange whistling noise....man that freeked her out!

Reggie will watch tv. Another friend's biewer loves tv so much...when they travel she takes a portable dvd player in the car to entertain him. I have seen pics of him in the car...watching that thing. It's a hoot.

It's funny enough when the aminals come on, how ever the best is when the dog whisperer is on, Alfie wants absolutly nothing to do with the poor guy. He watches while they cover the dogs stories but as soon as Ceaser appeares he'll turn his back, give me a 'oh it's him again, I know what that means' look and copletely egnore him. It's the quietist hour I get.

Sam doesn't pay much attention to TV, but Max does.

He watches other animals, but it's really classical music he likes. If there is a musical on he will sit and watch avidly.

The other surprising thing is when there is a person speaking in a foreign language. His head whips up, even if is sleeping and he sits their as if he knows what is being said.

Lol, I don't think he like when a watch the dog whisperer.

Teddy can take or leave it, but our Max used to love the Boots glasses advert, the old one, where the glasses walk across the screen, he would stop whatever he was doing and watch it almost without blinking, it always made us laugh, he adored it.

We dont' know what. But he was besotted by it.

My yorkie likes to watch Animal Planet especially when there are dogs on there. Sometimes we watch PetStar together. Wait til I tell DH we have to get her a portable DVD player! heehee

It's funny, in the summer, we de-camp to the conservatory where we have a biggish TV on the wall, nothing fancy, no speakers etc. But since it's turning to autumn, we have moved back to the sitting room with the big TV and surround sound....Bluebelle can't keep her eyes off the TV, and she is chasing the sounds around the speakers in the room - oh my gosh, it's been so funny this past week.
