I dunno? I didn't see a "test listen" or anything...

I know at the spca here my friend says they play the sound of snorting (I think) pigs...

At the bottom of the page in the boxes are some bone halves one says look, the other says listen. Quick someone play it for your dogs, and see what happens! I'm listening to it, it sounds pretty and it is soothing. If I was home can't say my dogs would give a phooey.

Hah...I think its a load of crap. We listened to very soothing music everyday in dog daycare when I worked there and it didnt do squat!!!!! It didnt make it any better for us either!

I played it for Inara and she ignored it and kept climbing all over me.

I always leave the radio on a smooth jazz station for the dogs when I go to work.

The private shelter I worked at always had soft music in the kennel.

It works to calm me, so why not dogs?

I normally leave a New Age radio station playing on iTunes for Inara when I'm gone. My family thinks I'm crazy. But I think that's mainly because I turn my laptop towards Inara so she can see the iTunes visualizer if she wants. :oops:

Seppel cocked his head to the right... and promptly got the zoomies while running through the water bowl several times. :shock:

We'll stick w/Animal Planet when I'm not home. :oops:

I cant listen becuse I dont have speakers but I can tell you that for both dogs and children heavy metal music works a treat!...its pulsating,bassy and rythmic and thay cant cry/bark louder than it...they just listen and fall asleep

by **Malli** » December 6th, 2008, 4:16 pm

Ditto to that, Drum and Bass techno works well, as well.

Wellll, I've found that Metallica, Motley Crue, Ratt, Iron Maiden and AC/DC will send both of my dogs zooming around the house like fiends.

Last time Mark played Helter Skelter, Birdie zoomed around the living room, jumped from the couch to the arm chair, bounced off the back and crashed into the fish tank.

I don't want to sound all mystical or weird, but if the Animal Planet Cop shows come on, I don't think that is good for your dogs to hear. I believe in the idea of animals having a collective soul. So if they are seeing/hearing those sad/abusive stories, it leads to more of it because of the Law of Attraction.

No, I am not drinking.
