The book "Through a Dog'...You are welcome. The book "Through a Dog's Ear" has some great info on how sounds affect dogs. I believe it said that studies show one instrument music (of a certain tempo) is calming. And I think they specifically mentioned classical.

I've put one...I think a camera is a great idea.<br />I've put one up a couple of times - normally when I've implemented some type of change.<br /><br />Also, when I first got Puddin, I kept her in a crate. <br />At one point, I was coming home to find her soaking wet but her water bowl was still full. So I filmed her and discovered that being crated while I was gone was very stressful for her. She was drooling immensely - so much so that she was getting drenched in her on spit. <br />I stopped crating her and started working on crate acclimation.<br />http://blog.mysanantonio.com/latrenda/tag/crate-acclimation-posts/Puddinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08587715790540949936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758919944359015537.post-22726964338223842012013-10-06T21:57:55.235-05:002013-10-06T21:57:55.235-05:00Good point @Not.

It occurred to me that he may be barking, stressed, running through the house, etc. Should I put a cam in the house to see what he really does when I'm gone?Worrying is funnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758919944359015537.post-50436650756537459472013-10-06T15:02:52.142-05:002013-10-06T15:02:52.142-05:00"Just because they can doesn't mean they ..."Just because they can doesn't mean they should." Great phrase (for people, too).<br /><br />We enjoyed your post and the video. To add to Emily's video, I think we should ask if it's for us or them about more than tricks. For example about getting a dog ("am I getting a puppy to be cool with the chicks or because I really want one and am willing to take the time to provide him a good life?"), picking out a breed ("is an Akita the best breed for my lifestyle or am I getting one to be a tough guy?"), etc. <br /><br />I really like your blog and Emily's videos, it's obvious she and you really care a lot about dogs.<br /><br />Thanks again.Not a vet, but I play one on TVnoreply@blogger.com
