Does your dog watch the TV?

Yes my Lucy was watching it the other night. It was funny. Animal planet was on. I cant remember what animal was on but Lucy acted like she was really interested in it. It was really cute too.

my dog does not stare at the telly, but my cat does. my dog sits with me when i play games on the laptop and watches me. or if the screen saver is bouncing around she watches it and follows it with her head. i read somewhere that dogs can not see 2 dimensinol (spelling sorry), but its not true when my husband works away she sits near his photo and puts her paw near it.

The only one of my dogs that watches tv is my border collie. He is the smartest of the bunch by far. He will often look at tv and then look at me like he would ask a question if he could speak. He will growl occasionally at another dog or animal. That's when he looks to me for answers. I tell him its ok,but he still has that quizical look on his dear face. So I don't get as big of a reaction as you get from your Jacko, but thier is interest for sure.

LOL! Well I haven't got a dog, but I do have cats, and my one female cat loves sport, on TV, especially snooker! She seems to be fascinated by the ball if it runs very slowly - if they are playing to set up a "snooker" for example. Also, an old cat of ours, used to love animal programmes, especially the ones about "big cats"! She was transfixed by lions and tigers on screen, and I remember once there was a programme about ;ions, and when one of the male lions gave their "mating call", my tiny little tabby girl sat right in front of the screen, and called back!!!

i have seen lot of pet dogs who watch t.v at home and even ubderstand a few things as in what's going on but my dog isn't like that.

My yorkie Pepito goes crazy over the tv sometimes. Its hilarious. He watches tv and barks at other animals....especially if they bark or meow. Santa Paws even bought him the Garfield dvd because he goes nuts over that movie. I like this question!

That's hilarious! Our dog doesn't do that. And I never wondered what the t.v. might seem like to our pets... Like another room? Come to thinkmof it, I think our dog has barked at other dogs on the tv!

My younger dog does. My older dog is alfa dog, so she alredy learn that TV is total waste of time and she preffers internet, she likes to seat with me when I am on line. I have TV on for my younger dog and my cat. They like cartoons.:))

she watches with me too. my dog also does the same thing, and even barks at herself in front of the mirror.

My dog has unfortunately passed away, but when I had him in the house he loved to watch Star Trek. He would come bounding into the room every evening as soon as he heard the theme music and he would just sit and stare at the screen. He was a big dog too - a german shepherd, so he often blocked the screen from our view. We often told him to move over but he wouldn't budge, and we ended up have to push him aside. Then he would look at us accusingly, as though we had deprived him of his seat.

When im not around my dog he keeps watching tv and tries to immitate the scenes and barks at the tv. Its very funny that he even has a favourite show. When he sees some dog on tv he gets infuriated and starts barking.

Hi, The idea that dogs couldn't make out tele images comes from US where the flicker rate is lower and dogs may well not be able to see it properly. My dog likes any programme with animals and will try and bite the tele screen. She also likes, snooker, pool, motorcycle racing particularly but will watch anything and everything. She seems to be able to tell if people on screen are getting angry, which makes her hackles go up. I have tried this with the sound down and it still works so I think she must read their body language! all the best urban

We don't have a dog but we have two kittens and they both will watch the t.v. We are not sure what it is they see that interests them but throughout the day when the t.v is on , one or both of them will go up by the t.v and sit and watch the rest of the prorgram with us .

sumtymes she does, there will be tymes when she'd be lying there and pop her head up and just stare at the tv for a couple mins and lie back down again its so cute lol

yeah man ofcourse dogs have minds feelings if they can luv you more then your family members and they can protect you from in different wituation or can play with with you then finlay ofcourse they can watch tv and enjoy different chanels ..rigt

i don't have a dog so what will be he watching ... lol

no i dont mak pet

Yes, my dog has that complex! It wasn't too bad until my husband started pointing out the animals on the tv to him, and now he just goes nuts every time. He just so wants to get to that puppy and play with it that nothing is going to get in his way - not even the tv screen (which he just bonks his nose against).

My dog does that too! He usually ignores people on tv but will bark at dogs that are acting mean and also horses. Sometimes he will watch action scenes in movies too. Its quite funny.
