Yes, our dog, Bingo seems to like the tv to be on in the bedroom when we are gone. He stays calm and is not barking or whining if it is on when we return home. If we happen to forget and turn it off he will be whining at the top of the stairs when we walk in the door.

We do sometimes, especially if we know we are going to be out past dark. We usually put it on a really mellow station for them. It is also good to keep any intruders from breaking in. It makes them think someone is home.

I never really thought about that!
Maybe I should start leaving on the tv or radio for the dogs when I have to leave.
I know they are really happy to see me when I get home and are all upset because I left them...they seem to think that they can go everywhere with me.
I will try that next time I leave!
Thanks!

I don't leave anything on when I go away but I might try it. During the day I sometimes play music for my kitty. She doesn't like the volume but I do catch her watching TV from time to time, so I stop when I see a station with bright red on it (it seems to be her favorite color!)

When I had a dog I did but now that I have 2 cats I don't I figure they can keep eachother company. I will say that if I know I am going to be gone for a really long day I will leave a radio on. I aways leave a light on.

wow ten, yeah i think it is nice for them so they dont think that they alone, and they have the normal sounds that they have when we are home.
