If you had a dog that watches TV… (lemmy.world)

…what would you put on for him?

The majority of my life I have as convinced that dogs couldn’t see TV’s. Now I have one that no only watches but reacts - shakes pillows at things he doesn’t like, growls, barks, and dances at creatures he’s trying to protect me from, etc.

He’ll lay his head on a pillow and just watch dramas…any suggestions for things he might like but not attack?

We had two dogs previously that could not see the TV, or mirrors. They totally had no reaction nor interaction , like the TV show or mirror didn't exist in front of them, even if we positioned them right in front of either.

Our new dog will actively watch dramas with us, or nature shows. We also catch her stopping in front of the full length mirror and staring at herself.

Since she seems to understand it's people on screen, my wife laughs at me when I cover the dogs eyes if its going to be a violent scene. Since she's a rescue, with some issue, I figure it's not good for her to see people attacking others.
