barking at "tv dogs"

[dinkyweil]

If there's snooker or pool on the tv, he'll run round to the back of it, to see where the ball has gone... Sally + Harry x[/QUOTE]

That is so funny!

Sad but true, with my first one he would bark at blowing leaves, and of course everything else. With my last male we had to stop using surround sound since every noise on that got him going. He also barked at his food and water dish. TV door bells really got him going which I found odd since we only have a door knocker. I asked the breeder if she had a bell and she said she did not and she lived on a big piece of property way out in the country and hardly had any visitors so I could never figure out what made him make the connection between bell and someone at the door. Lola does not bark much and with TV dogs it will get her attention if they bark, she sits up cocks her head and sort of muffle barks, it's the same when I listen to any of the videos on here with dogs barking. If she hears dog sounds coming from the computer she starts running by the door in circles like she is expecting a play date to show up, she loves the company of other dogs so she is very happy at the prospect of a play date.
