Abstract
There is a survey that 76% of American dogs get separation anxiety. As one of the ways to help dogs from the problem, the article picked up a TV channel called DogTV.
DogTV offers shows with relaxing sounds and images, and others that are made to help dogs get used to things like car rides or the sound of a doorbell. There are also shows with things dogs might find interesting which is like videos of other dogs and animals to stop them from getting bored.
DogTV offers to use the channel when dogs are home alone. Chief scientist for DogTV said that the channel is great for dog owners who want to try and reduce some of the behavior problems their pets can have when left alone.


What are your thoughts on DogTV?
I think watching the TV program would be a good way to reduce dogs’ stress when they leave their house alone, if the benefits are true.
However, I think owners should reconsider whether they can afford to take care of their pets.
I believe, keeping a pet can’t people who have no afford or can’t take care of themselves. Of course, they mustn't choose the option of letting their pets go off easily.
But, I think we shouldn't just think about how to settle their behavior problem and we should think about their happiness. Because I am sure that it is the responsibility of people who keep an animal.
