Does your Yorkie watch tv? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Mine watch tv all the time. The alpha female (Star) HATES dr phil. The three headed dog on harry potter, and the main guy from bar rescue. Her sister (shadow) freaks out over other dogs on tv. Thunder and lightning just bark because theyre barking. its more entertaining then TV itself lol

To cute! Yes mine does to and it cracks me up to see her do it. She really seems to like Alex Trebek on Jeopardy.

Enzo loves TV but good gravy when the door bell rings on TV he goes crazy for 10 minutes barking at every door in the house!

Tink just last night figured out that the sirens and fireworks were on the TV and not outside. Only took her 4 years.

The one SPCA or Humane Society commercial with the Springer Spaniel puppies sent my other 2 girls into a frenzy to find the puppies (they were Mommies previously). Tink was too but the puppy noises didn't affect her.

My GSD mix almost took out my new Big Screen TV when she saw the squirrel on one of those Cat-Sitting videos!

The only noise my 1st Yorkie would respond to was the sound that baby alligators make. IDK!

I'd say mine prefer interactive TV as opposed to just watching it, Lol!

If there is some activity on the TV screen Gracie watches. If she hears some animals sounds she gets very attentive.

Tibbe is so funny. He loves TV, especially shows with cats this past year! Growls and barks and gets interactive, looks back at me as if to say "Did you SEE that????????????????!!!!!! Cats on my TV!!!!!!" Barks like crazy when doorbells ring on TV EXCEPT when the doorbell rings on the old sitcom Frasier. That one can just panic him sometimes, especially when he was feeling bad. And any show with a circle saw in it. Hates that noise. But my little boy sure loves to watch his cat shows!

Tink barks at doorbells on TV, all of them. Takes off running to the front door. We don't have a doorbell, lol.

YTJ: "Cats on my TV!" ROTFLMBO!

Bentley's so adorable!

Yazmin will lay at the foot of my bed for hours to watch re-runs of the Dog Whisperer on Saturday evenings. My TV has a 42" screen with surround sound so to her, the dogs sound and appear to be in the room with us. If the dog(s) are barking or growling, Yazmin will pounce, run back and forth, all the while barking... trying her best to get the other dogs to notice her!

Mistymillar · 06-01-2013, 02:42 PM

Nope, Alfie doesn't notice the TV at all apart from sometimes if a dog barks, a doorbell or a phone rings, then he has to defend the household.

Jeepmom · 06-01-2013, 04:13 PM

LOL! Nigel will watch anything. I was wondering if it was just him. He is my only furbutt to watch TV.

He would also give me a weird look if I laugh at something on the tv lol like what is she doing? Hahaha

Does your yorkie watch tv as well?

Yes, my Bandit will sometimes be attracted to the TV. There was a frog croaking on TV yesterday and my Bandit was watching TV very attentively. It was so cute. He will still watch occasionally when he likes the noise it's puting outl So CUTE

ProudPops · 06-01-2013, 10:32 PM

My older one doesn't, however our puppy does and loves/hates it.

Anything to do with animals and she just perks up and growls and snarls at the screen. It is a riot!
