DVD For Dogs: While You Are Gone is a collection of calming video and soothing sounds for the dogs we love.

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.

DVD FOr Dogs a HIT for me! Jan 29, 2010
Had tried many things to help my dogs throughout the years but finally hit the jackpot with this DVD. I had bought DVD for Cats and it was a favorite for my cats so thought I try DVD For Dogs. To my amazement all 3 of dogs sat and stared at the screen. Great for when I have to work or when my dog (I am talking most about my lab derek) wont stop bugging me to throw the ball. 5 Stars +++

DEPENDING ON YOUR OWN DOG . . . Jan 29, 2010
I wish it were not necessary for me to give this product only one star, but that rating is based on my experience with my dogs.

I believe if you live in a city, especially if you live in a concrete jungle that involves elevators just to take your dog for a walk, then this tape might be absolutely engrossing and entertaining for your dog. I personally (as a human) found some of the music a bit monotonous (and even bombastic), but perhaps the composer, Bradley Joseph, in this case has found his audience in dogs.

Why it didn't work for me - I live in the Great Smoky Mountains, and I guess my dogs are too used to nature sights and sounds. Although my dogs are not allowed to roam at will (they are either in a chain link yard or on a long cable lead), they do see and hear things that probably render this DVD as "natural surroundings", except for the music, which they tune out as they generally tune out everything on the TV except the sounds of human infants crying. Also, we are retired and the dogs are rarely left alone. When we are gone they usually snooze and greet our return with sleep bleary eyes.

The DVD is inexpensive enough to give it a try. If it doesn't work for you, donate it to your library, animal shelter, etc. I'm sure it will find a home where it will work well.

Maybe MY dog just isn't into it. Jan 07, 2010
Bought this video for my dog to watch/listen to while I am at work. It's basically a video with a few different scenes, some relaxing music, and loud animal sounds. My dog kind of paid attention when the duck scenes came on, but lost interest fast. It feels like each each scene lasts too long and my dog loses interest. Maybe some dogs would sit and watch this DVD, but mine wasn't particularly interested.

Fantastic entertainment for dogs who pay attention to TV Jan 01, 2010
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2U638S1OV3BM1 Update: here is my "TV Watcher" (Havoc) enjoying the movie. He'll watch it this intently, over and over again. Definitely needs to be a dog who's at least interested in TV, but he sure enjoys it. You can also see my older dog (Delta), who has no interest at all in the movie - she's just watching Havoc act crazy. I think it depends a lot on your dog. If they like watching Animal Planet or other dogs/cats on TV, they will probably like this. Havoc watched it 2-3 times yesterday and was calmer today than he's been in weeks, so I think it really does work for the dogs that like it.
------------------------
I have two dogs, one a bit older and who has never shown any interest in the TV, and another who is 2, very hyper, and always reacts to animals on TV. As I suspected my older one had no interest in this DVD, but the younger TV-watcher absolutely LOVED it. We played it for him the first time last night and he was completely glued to the TV. He watched and seemed to love the entire 65 minutes. This morning when we got up, he ran to the TV and stared at it, waiting for "his" show to come on. Very cute! I wouldn't call it "relaxing" but it's been a lot of fun for him and I can see it being good entertainment when I'm at work. If your dog pays no attention to the TV normally this may not get his/her attention, but for dogs who've shown any interest in TV at all I think they'd love this.

It works. It really works! Nov 27, 2009
I saw the video in a catalogue over a year ago when our Jack Russell puppy was just 4 months old. It was discontinued, so I searched on other sites. All reviews were positive. I just wanted to order from a site I trusted. Time went by, and we alternated between the tv and radio when we were gone. She was mostly ok but a little antsy when we got home, even though it was rare that we both had to be gone at the same time. So right before Thanksgiving I found it here and hubby said I should order it just to see if it worked. He was skeptical.
We couldn't wait to leave her alone before trying the video. We had to see it in action. The day it arrived, we were doing local errands. When we got in, he popped it in the living room dvd, while I prepared us a snack in the kitchen. Can you believe she stayed in the living room watching it and didn't even come pounce on me but once?
The next day we both left for a few hours, leaving the dvd on again. She was calmer when we returned. I took her outside to do her business, leaving it on. She came back inside, sniffed at hubby's bags (in his hand) and ran back to check out the video. I knew it would calm her down. Next she gets the cd for dogs. Yeah!
