Playing Music for Your Puppy (or Dog)

Hi,
I have found that playing music for all ages of dogs, as well as puppies, can help keep them calm while you are away from the house.

One of the biggest challenges of being a pet owner is what to do while you are out of the house and at work all day. Although leaving your new puppy is something you cannot avoid, it does not make it any easier to do. You miss your pet and worry about how they are doing alone. Your puppy also misses you because he is used to having you around. One of the best and easiest ways to fix this is to play puppy music. If you never have heard of this, it is soothing and calming music designed for pets.

The best puppy music you want to put on during the day has got to be anything soothing, such as classical music that features predominantly harps and pianos. You want to have slow music that does not have any large jumps in tempo because this could startle your puppy. To start using this training tactic, you could try playing the music while you are at home and playing with your puppy. This way they will associate the music with you, instead of loneliness. You can do this for a few days until you feel he is familiar with the music then try it when you leave.

Instead of feeling abandoned during the day, your puppy will be calm because of the puppy music you provided him. This type of music works great for all types of calming situations. Your problem might be that your puppy bites furniture only when you are gone. Another problem might be that your puppy will not stop barking when he is alone. The music will work to calm both of these problems. After a while, your puppy will not even notice that he is alone because the music keeps him entertained. This is so important for a puppy because you want him to feel as if your home is his home as well.

By listening to puppy music during the day, you might find that it is easier to leave your pup alone without feeling the need to cage him. This is what many owners have to do because they are not sure if their puppy is ready to be alone in the house all day. It makes it easier to do when they are calm and not feeling the need to tear apart the house. The music is such an easy way to calm your new puppy.

Sorry to comment on a previous post -- I couldn't find an email for you. I follow your blog and was hoping you might post our video on your site. I recently interviewed Christina Selter from Bark Buckle UP on pet safety and the best vehicles for pet travel. I appreciate your help in getting the word out.
