Creators of the cable service approached their task scientifically. The sounds, colors, and camera angles have all been adjusted for canine senses. For instance, colors are made more vivid so that canine eyes can see objects clearly. DogTV does not, as you might think, show Scooby-Doo and Clifford the Big Red Dog. Rather, there are three types of DogTV “shows” . The first aims to relax dogs. These segments show dogs resting to the sound of calming music. The second kind shows pleasant(for a dog)day-to-day settings, like riding in a car or walking down a street. The third type is meant to stimulate—like a scene of two dogs playing in a field.
“Dogs love watching other dogs being active on the screen, ” says Beke Lubeach, a DogTV spokesperson. She says that birds, monkeys, and zebras also make dogs take notice.
Not everyone is buying it.
“I think a lot of this is to make us feel better as opposed to making the pet happier, ” says Dr. Ann E. Hohenhaus of New York’s Animal Medical Center. She tells The New York Times,
“Your pet needs adequate exercise and an interesting environment. You cannot just turn on the TV and hope your dog is going to get better. ”
On the other hand, the Humane Society animal shelter in Escondido, California, tried out DogTV at its shelter. Sally Costello, the director, says workers observed that dogs exposed to the channel were calmer and barked less.
