My dog absolutely hates the opening theme music to the Dave Ramsey radio show. I listen to talk radio in the mornings, which my dog mostly ignores. But, as soon as he hears the opening notes of Dave Ramsey’s music, he gets agitated and starts jumping up on me begging me to make it stop. He’s consistently had this reaction every time he’s heard that music for going on 5 years now. Every single time. I usually try to change the station before the poor dog hears it, but once in awhile I don’t get to it in time. Pretty strange.
A couple decades ago, I read a story about a kennel owner who would play a recording of a dog happily panting. That would cause all the dogs in the kennel to stop barking and calm down.
