DVD For Dogs: While You Are Gone is a collection of calming video and soothing sounds for the dogs we love.
As your dog takes a virtual walk through the woods, it encounters deer, ducks, geese, wolfs,
prairie dogs, birds, horses, fish, butterflies, and more. A virtual game of fetch follows.
The imagery is complemented with soft nature sounds, music, children playing, sonic sounds
only dogs hear, and short stories to create a peaceful environment for dogs who are left alone.
The auto-loop function allows the video to play all day.
Professional composer Bradley Joseph performed with multi-platinum artists Yanni and Sheena Easton
for over a decade. His original compositions bring to life this incredible collection.

Amature video Jul 22, 2010
This is an amateur video of weird, pseudo-classical music with animal scenes. My dogs show no preference to watching (which they dont) it or listening to the radio. Buy a bag of rawhides with your $10

My dog, Charlie, was VERY entertained by this video. When he got sick, he really loved to have the video on...I think it helped him feel better! Excellent!

Different reactions from different dogs Apr 13, 2010
I bought this DVD for my large breed mixed rescue who has SERIOUS separation anxiety issues. I work from home, and I thought this would be a good way to keep him entertained in the other room while I was working. After the mixed reviews I wasn't sure if he would go for it or not, but since this DVD had more bird scenes than others I figured it was worth a shot (my dog loves watching birds). I also have a little shih tzu that is just the sweetest little thing, but she is more independent so if she enjoyed the DVD, that would just be a perk. Well...this definitely wasn't what I expected!!!! LOL The intro features some shots of various dogs and barking, plus the occasional dog whistle sounds (I think that's the sonic sounds they refer to in the DVD writeup--the dog whistles go off periodically to get your pooches attention back to the screen). Next up was the beginning of our "virtual walk" which is literally a path scene then closeups of various animals. The first set of animals was a group of squeaking prairie dogs. My mixed breed dog was interested, but the shih tzu turned into a little MONSTER! I have NEVER seen anything like it, she is normally the sweetest, calmest little dog I have ever seen. Instead, she was a snarling, growling demon who belonged in a cage match. She snapped at me, the other dog, and ran around like a possessed maniac. Needless to say, I fast forwarded ahead. The next scenes were pretty much all various types of birds--ducks, flamingos, chickens/rooster, then some wild birds. Again, I got a reaction I wasn't expecting...the little shih tzu was peaceful, the large breed was interested, but the pair of finches in my living room? Shrieking, chirping, and *ahem* lovemaking ensued. This must be like Barry White for birds because for about 5 minutes of each set of bird scenes (especially the chickens and wild birds) all my finches did was chirp and chase each other around their cage, occasionally catching each other, at which point I would recommend you cover your child's eyes unless you want to explain what kind of playing they are doing. Again I skipped ahead--the coyote scenes and farm animal scenes didn't produce any reactions of note. The virtual fetch caught my shih tzu's attention. She sat transfixed, though she was "hiding" behind the coffee table to watch. All in all, I think the nature sounds alone are worth it, though I would warn anyone to put it on while you are home a few times to make sure you don't get any surprises. I wish you could make a playlist to play only the scenes your dog likes on a loop, or even just loop one scene (obviously I need to bypass the prairie dogs haha). Instead, the entire DVD is only one constant track so you can't skip scene to scene (unless you just fast forward).

not for "smarter" work breed type dogs Mar 12, 2010
I had a notion that my 2 yr old husky pup would not be into this, but figured I'd give it a shot anyway due to high ratings and " my dog never watched TV before, but loves this!" type reviews. Overall it seems well intentioned, but was mostly corny and annoying. There is a lot of movement and sound, but it gets old pretty quick and is not the best for a dog that needs a little more stimulus such as play and scent.

The corny was the easy listening contemporary piano music throughout and the occasional strange, softly spoken word passages about dogs. Gives it kind of a suburban new age feel overall. The footage itself is pretty much someone filming playing fetch with their own dog in their backyard, some park paths, and animals at the local zoo? If you were unaware of what this was, you would think you were watching someone's home movies. Oh wait, you pretty much are.

The annoying was the sound bytes of dogs whimpering on and off throughout, which I fail to see how this was supposed to be calming for dogs when it's generally a noise that comes from a dog that is stressed out or under duress. There's also some audio segments of kids screaming and yelling, which again, may not be the most ideal pleasant noise for all dogs.

It's not a total loss as the auto loop function is a nice feature and I'll still leave it playing with the sound turned down and radio on in its place, but he's pretty indifferent towards it and my money would have been better spent towards some good nature documentaries instead, something a little more interesting visually for he and I both.
