Customer Reviews
audio ok, visually no effect
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
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.
My Dogs LOVE IT
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.
