Yes I have found that if you have to step out it really comforts them, so they don't feel alone. It helps so they don't bark ....too.

when we do leave them home we leave the tv on...but no movie violence, I think it scares them, hehe

I'm home all day, but I don't leave anything on when I go out shopping. They keep each other company.

I'm with them all day, Chelsey has her favourite programs, so i zap for her, when i go out shopping or whatever, i leave the radio on with classic music for them, no idea if they listen to it though, but have heard that classical music is calming for them.

My boys love the Disney channel.

We leave the tv on - it use to be animal planet prior to getting Captain - but Captain watches the tv and barks at all animals....so now they get the today show and whatever comes on after that all day.

(Does anyone else have a dog that can actually tell what is on tv?? Captain is the only one of our 4 that reacts when things come on the tv.)

We leave the radio on every morning when we go to work. He seems calmer when we come home. It also helps to mask noise so Charlie doesn't bark at random sounds

Yep!! Animal planet ... Toto likes it!!

2Parises · 10-08-2007, 06:33 PM

We are guilty too!!

I leave when Good Morning America is on so it just stays on ABC...maybe I should switch that... those daytime soaps...what must they be learning??? LOL

No I don't leave anything on for Winston...he is not in the least bit interested in TV. He just curls up in his bed and sleeps while we're away from home.
My first Yorkie, Spencer loved to watch certain shows on TV, he'd jump around and play with whoever happened to be on, so cute...but Winston is the complete opposite, he ignores it, even if I purposely try to show him something...nope he won't fall for it.

I leave the soft rock station on for Conner when I leave for work. My sister comes at lunch time and lets him out and plays with him. She changes the radio to the country station. I change it to soft rock again when I come home, then she changes it the next day. Do you think Conner is confused?

I leave the radio on for Diddy.

I leave the classical radio station on while I'm at work. Tink likes the music and it helps cover up the noise of the people in the apartment upstairs. I can't leave the TV on because if there is a commercial with a dog barking, she starts barking too and gets all upset.
I leave a light on too, because this time of year it's dark when I get home and she hates being alone in the dark.
