Should Your Dog Watch TV? Why Screen Time Is Great for Your Pup

Welcome to SkoolDoggery, where we turn everyday moments into powerful dog training tools!
Letting your dog watch TV might sound silly, but it can actually help with training, socialisation, and calming anxious pups—if you do it right. In this video, we dive into how dogs see screens, why certain content can help reduce anxiety, and how you can use TV as a low-stress way to expose your dog to sounds like traffic, fireworks, and even... chickens. 🐔

What you’ll learn in this video:
How dogs actually see and interpret TV
Why screen time can be good for desensitisation and relaxation
The best types of content for calming your pup
How to use TV alongside training and crate time
Signs your dog is processing stress in a healthy way


Whether your dog’s already a couch potato or still chewing on the remote, there’s something in here for every pup parent.
