I dont know if its possible for dogs to actually sit and watch television. When my two poochies hear a dog bark on TV they run to the window and start barking up a storm. They have no clue where the bark is coming from

I had one dog who kept looking behind the TV and speaker system anytime he heard or saw another dog on TV.

Another jumped away from the TV when a shark swam towards the camera with its mouth open.

My Akita has watched TV since he was a baby. He follows the action with his eyes and his head. If he sees an animal, he walks up to the screen and is alert. He will go behind the TV looking for the animal.

When I use the mute, he turns and looks directly at me as though he knows I made the sound stop and he will keep staring at me until I turn it back on, at which point, he goes back to watching.

I have had dogs for well over 40 years and this is the first one that seemed to actually follow the action. He prefers shows with exciting music and SFX. But he has also sat and watched Jesse Stone movies. He is just an unusual guy.

I’ve seen it on Animal Planet’s show Too Cute!. In one episode female French Bulldog would sit in front of the TV and watch intently at the screen.

My Chihuahua does not seem to be interested in anything on TV. When he hears barking, he will return the barking.
