Research indicates that dogs tend to enjoy watching television, particularly content featuring other animals. A study surveyed over 450 dog owners to understand canine viewing habits. Results showed that 45 percent of dogs reacted significantly to animal content, especially when other dogs were barking or howling. On average, dogs watched about 14 minutes in a sitting, with personality traits affecting their preferences. This research highlights the importance of understanding how dogs interpret visual stimuli in relation to their welfare.
'Companion dogs experience a meaningful, object-filled world when they view television,' the researchers said.
On average, the dogs watched TV for 14 minutes and eight seconds in any one sitting.
The study revealed that almost half (45 per cent) of the dogs reacted when they saw an animal on TV.
The researchers found that the dogs' personalities influenced their viewing preferences.
