My border collie couldn’t care less about the squirrels or the bird videos but I popped this one on and she is immediately fascinated lol! She can’t stop barking at the TV and wagging her tail. Guess she really is a border collie!
This has saved me many hours of sleep! When my German shepherd puppy is too rambunctious at night, I pop this on, and he immediate calms down so we both get some sleep. What a lovely scene, and how thoughtful of you to share! Thank you!
I put this on the TV in my room because my dog was on my bed. I put it on to settle her down but I forgot her breed is a herding breed (Australian Shepherd mix) so she just kept STARING at the TV. She's never seen sheep before but it's like she understood instinctively to watch them. When a little lamb walked across the screen she followed it with her eyes.
Our first Shetland Sheepdog saw sheep as a puppy (real life), and instinctively knew she wanted to chase them. She turned out to be a great herding dog for flocks of geese at water retention ponds near our house. When my daughter was a baby, that's how we would get exercise for the dog-- baby would nap in the car, dog would come for a ride. We would pull up next to flocks of geese, and the dog would herd the geese into the lake. The dog would jump back in the car and we would go to another spot to herd geese. My baby slept through everything, and I could leave the A/C on, since I wasn't far away and no one was nearby to steal the car. One time, while doing this, a man ran out of a nearby office building and raced to my car, as we were driving away. He offered to pay us to chase the geese all the time. (They were pooping on walkways and getting in the parking lot, obstructing the cars.) I had a baby at the time, so I had to turn down the paid offer. (We couldn't guarantee I could come by at the same time every day, when the geese were there on their migratory path.) But I promised to come by for free, whenever I could, and I did so. If you can trust your sheepdogs off leash, let them herd the geese near you. It's a useful skill. (Btw, If you build an office park in the long-established migratory path of geese, you really can't complain if they poop on your sidewalk. But I was glad to help the situation without the geese getting hurt.)
Our poodle mix goes crazy for the duck dog tv videos cause they’re bird hunting dogs. Lol that’s why I put this on for her.. it’s interesting for her but doesn’t activate a prey drive 💀
Our rescue dog is a Shetland Sheepdog and is super shy. He never left my mom’s side while she was being treated for cancer and now that she’s in remission, he gets so nervous when she leaves the house and refuses to move away from the couch where he can watch for her. If I can’t sit with him, I put this on for him. I’m hoping it appeals to his instincts. 😄💖
My dog can't sleep all night. Not like us humans do for 8 hours. She is quite content watching this as she naps ... nods on and off till morning. Thank you so much.
This is just too perfect lol. Brings back good funny memories of when my BC was a puppy and would nip at me and my families ankles as if we needed to be herded. Why not right. Maybe we needed to be herded in the right direction anyways lol. Still cracks me up when she would herd everyone as a wee little puppy and I'll never forget all of the experiences and moments we share. I have seen videos where people stated they are difficult dogs but Sophie is far from difficult. They all have different personalities and I'm sure everybody out there loves their special furry family member regardless of anything. I wish you all the best and enjoy every moment you can. :)
Screen refresh rate has to be at least 80 whateverHertz before dogs can see video without it being a headache-inducing, flickering nightmare. Check the back of your monitor/TV set, and look up "flicker fusion rate".
My 3 dogs are herding dogs (Great Pyrenees and Border Collie mix) and when I put squirrels, deer or any other animals on the TV, they bark and get crazy. So I tried this video with the sheep. They suddenly sat quietly on the bed and stared intently at the sheep. Eventually they laid down, but they kept a close eye on those sheep. Finally a video that keeps them interested but doesn't make them crazy. Thank you! 😊
My dog is fascinated. She watches it with 100% attention. She tries to sniff their bums and of one 'looks at her' she gives a quiet groan. She will watch it for as long as I leave it playing. :)
i was looking on youtube for calming sounds this poped up my dog got belly rubs and fell asleep (i did this for her reward because she has been having accidents in the house but today she did 3 poos outside so i did 15 minutes of this and as soon as i stoped she was a little angry)
Luke 15:4 - 15:7 Luke Chapter 15 4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? 5 And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. 7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
Sandra Prince It’s a bit difficult to tell from a distance but probably they’re oaks. Some oaks in England are nearly 1000 years old, 200 to 300 is not uncommon. I imagine the average age is increasing again now we’re not using them for building ships any more.
