What kind of shows do dogs like watching? 🐶📺
⠀
Researchers from the University of Central Lancashire proved that those dogs that like watching TV, prefer looking at their own kind.
⠀
Canines on TV that were growling, barking or whining sparked special interest.
⠀
Dogs participating in the research also liked videos with squeaky toys.
⠀
However, there are dogs that don’t have any reaction to the TV at all. One of the explanations of this phenomenon is based on a speculation that it’s not just about a certain dog’s interests and character, but also about the technical characteristics of the TV at home.
⠀
What do dogs see on TV?
⠀
It’s not a secret that canines see the world differently than we do.
⠀
One of these differences lies in the speed of information acceptance.
⠀
In order for humans to watch something on a screen, the frequency of 45-50 Hz is enough.
⠀
Dogs, however, need the frequency to reach at least 70-80 Hz in order to understand what is happening on the screen.
⠀
The frequency of TVs is around 50 Hz. That is why dogs whose humans haven’t yet replaced their old TV model with a modern screen simply can’t understand what is happening on the screen. That’s why they often don’t pay any attention to the TV.
Moreover, such a picture tends to be annoying for our dogs and doesn’t let them concentrate.
⠀
Modern TVs’ frequency is around 100 Hz. And with such technical characteristics, our dogs can also enjoy their favorite TV shows by our side. 🐶🖥
