Dogs have a cat to thank for DogTV, a network packed with programming for pooches.
The cat’s name was Charlie, and he belonged to Ron Levi, the founder and chief content officer of DogTV. Charlie passed away not long ago, but Levi adored his kitty and always felt incredibly guilty about leaving him when he went to work. “He gave me the sad eyes saying, ‘It’s not cool leaving me alone all day,’ ” Levi recalls.
So Levi filled up a DVD with video of birds and fish and set it up to play on his television. Charlie loved it. The cat ran to the TV the first time he saw the imagery, and he was transfixed.
After witnessing how much Charlie enjoyed that onscreen entertainment, Levi, whose career includes time spent teaching college-level media classes and working as a writer for The Amazing Race, realized dogs might also respond to and benefit from watching television and got to work creating what would become DogTV.
“Dogs are not very cool being home all day by themselves when their parents go to work. They’ve got nothing to do, and boredom causes the destruction of the house and irritation and barking. It’s a real problem, and I thought we could try to help by leaving the TV on--but not just leaving the dog to sit and watch like a couch potato. That’s seriously not the idea,” Levi says. “We want to try to use the television to entertain them and also relax them and make them feel better.”
Do dogs really watch TV? There are certainly plenty of pet owners who say that their dogs do. More recently, nearly half of the respondents to a poll conducted by the American Kennel Club and Iams a few years ago reported that their canines showed interest in what was happening on television. And if you search YouTube for “dogs watching TV,” more than a million results appear.
Asked whether man’s best friend should even be watching TV, MacLean muses, “I can see it potentially having value for some dogs that spend a lot of time at home by themselves. But this comes with a word of caution that if programs are distracting or overly arousing, they may also have some negative effects in terms of the dogs’ ability to relax.”
Levi says that the programming airing on DogTV has been crafted with a dog’s best interests in mind.
Shows in the stimulation category find a lot of dogs chasing Frisbees. “Dogs are proven to like to see other dogs onscreen,” according to Levi, “And they’re very, very sensitive to motion. That’s why a lot of our content is a lot of running dogs and animals and animations involving butterflies and all that because dogs can actually see that amazingly."
Programming in the relaxation category features beautiful visuals and landscapes accompanied by classical music designed to soothe a pet.
Exposure programming is all about slowly and carefully exposing dogs to everyday sounds and visuals that might spook them--like the evil vacuum cleaner!--and helping pooches get used to them.
That said, none of the exposure programming--actually, any of the programming--includes barking dogs. DogTV discovered the problem with barking dogs after installing security cameras in 38 apartments in which dogs were left home by themselves during the day and monitoring their reactions to DogTV programming as well as shows on networks like Animal Planet and CNN.
