Television for Pet Parents of Happy Pets

Although Topcat and Sweetie are cats, they love to watch The Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan. He just seems to know how to interact with the dogs and make them happy and focused. He always talks about “calm and assertive energy”, and it appears to work well with the canines and their pet parents. New episodes are generally aired Friday nights @ 8:00 pm (Central) on National Geographic Channel. Repeats of previous episodes are generally shown Fridays @ 7:00 pm, with a repeat of the 8:00 pm show at 11:00 pm.

Another show that we have been watching lately is DogTown. Dog Town is part of the Best Friends Animal Society in Kanab, Utah. This show generally shows a variety of dogs that need medical attention, training, or behavioral issues addressed. It is inspiring to know that there are dedicated people who will travel 1,000s of miles to help and rescue dogs that have no other options. Although not in the last few weeks, new episodes were being shown Friday nights @ 9:00 pm (Central) on National Geographic Channel (immediately following Dog Whisperer). We have been a contributor to Best Friends Animal Society for several years, and think that they are a very worthy organization. They are also fighting against puppy mills, which is another cause which is near and dear to us.

We also enjoy watching It’s Me or the Dog with dog trainer, Victoria Stillwell, on Animal Planet. She has a totally different style of training, but it is all about positive reinforcement. You can catch these episodes at various times on Animal Planet, especially early in the morning, such as 8:00 am most weekdays, although we generally watch the program Saturday nights at 7:00 pm (Central).
