Dogs are one of our best friends. But dogs can sometimes be a little noisy. In fact, American law says the dog owners will pay $50 if their dogs bark for more than fifteen minutes a day.
But how can you stop a dog from barking? Barking is a natural part of a dog’s behavior, and many different things can make a dog bark. The University of Belfast has the answer: Let your dog listen to music.
The scientists say you can’t sing to your dog. Instead, you should play music for your dog. However, you have to be careful about the type of music you choose. The University of Belfast tested 50 dogs with all kinds of music, to find out which kind of music has effect on the animal’s behavior. Rock and heavy metal music caused the dogs to bark loudly. Pop music seemed to go in one ear and out of the other. Classical music made dogs quiet. But scientists warn that playing classical music all the time will not always work.. The more familiar the music becomes, the more the dog ignores it.
All this research has led to a new kind of music: pet music! The New Age pet music CD has natural sounds with classical piano music to keep your pet quiet.
