 DVD For Dogs - IT WORKS November 24, 2008
Cindy Green (Wisconsin)
Have many of these titles for my cats so bought this for my dog Roscoe. He really likes it! Favorite scenes are the ducks and birds. He's not a television watcher normally but for some reason this DVD keeps his attention. I have a dog CD as well for him so I switch it back and forth to mix things up. I think its the cutest thing ever.
 DVD for Dogs: While you are gone November 23, 2008
S. Fisher (Alberta, Canada)
My Boxer, who often watches TV, was interested in only a couple of scenes of this DVD; the coyote emerging from behind a tree and accompanying taped coyote howls. I have played it several times, and each time, that's the only part that gets his attention. It seemed neither to calm nor entertain.
What does seem to get and hold his attention, however, are videos of small puppies yipping and yelping. He presses his nose to the computer screen whenever I find youTube puppy videos. For my dog, I would be better off downloading those videos to dvd to play for him.
 audio ok, visually no effect August 12, 2008

Bought this items based on good reviews here.
My mini schnauzer won't pay any attention to visual presentation (on my 40" HDTV, so it's not bc of poor quality video), but audio keeps his ears flopping once in a while. So I just copied the audio files onto a cd and had it looping on my stereo for 8 hrs.
Visual - no effect
Audio - mediocre
NOT FOR ALL DOGS April 21, 2008

I bought this DVD to help when I am dogsitting for my sister's two Italian grayhounds, but it certainly didn't attract--much less hold--their attention. It's an oddly edited mish-mash. First off, the various segments are connected with New-Age-style piano music. Is there any evidence anywhere that dogs especially enjoy New Age piano music? There are, at several totally arbitrary points, brief voice-overs of pet owners reciting short testimonials to their own pets. Perhaps a voice track saying "good dog!" or some such thing would register with a pet, but not the Hallmark sentiments included on this disc. The editing is far too jumpy for dogs--a continuous shot from a single camera might have worked, but animals don't understand changing camera angles and jump cuts, so as the camera leaps about during individual segments, it must be totally disorienting to them. My own experience with this, as well as other DVDs for dogs, is that they tend to become much more engaged when there are shots of other dogs, along with dog noises, and this DVD has only minimal dog footage. How can a dog possibly identify with shots of, say, flamingos if they have never seen one in real life? All in all it's an interesting and potentially effective concept, but the execution is only so-so at best.

Beautiful music and scenery. Oscar (my dog :-) ) gets excited everytime I reach for the remote now. Going to get him the Music Dogs Love: While You Are Gone next.
