Victoria appeared on ABC's Nightline program to discuss how a new channel scientifically designed to be watched by dogs really works. For more information, visit the DogTV website.
Everyone knows I use positive reinforcement in my dog training. You’re probably sick of hearing me go on about it. But an issue that comes up more frequently than you might think is the idea of using positive reinforcement in the human side of dog training – and let’s be honest, the human aspect is the biggest part. The dogs are usually pretty easy – it’s the humans that need the most help!

VIctoria, I think this is a great idea and i really really hope it itakes off and works for you, you certainly have my vote as all my 4 dogs watch tv anyway.,
While writing I would like to thank you so sincerely for all the work you have put in for LENNOX, i did think that doing this publicity for your Dog Tv you might have found a way to mention him and get him into the spot light, it might have been a good idea.
Regards,
Sandra Grehan

My dog doesn't watch tv, & she doesn't get upset when I leave the house. She's a Rat Terrier & I read one time that sight hunting dogs don't have central vision, but see things differently, around the outside edges of the eye. I can point to the tv when there's dog activity & barking & she just doesn't see it...she'll look out the door or window that's open. She is happy when I leave & goes to her bed or on the sofa, curls up to take a nap & watches me go out the door, because she is fearful of going in the car & is making sure I'm not going to take her. I think that is because of the type of vision she has because she always would stay away from a window & get as far down on the floor that she could & shake in fear.
I tried doggles for her & put her in the kennel in the car & she did better, but I rarely take her in the car now unless I have to...she still doesn't want to get in. Just saying car will make her alert & go in the other direction
