So, here’s the deal – some pups just can’t help but get all worked up by the hustle and bustle outside. They patrol their turf, barking at every passerby or delivery truck, thinking they’re on guard duty or something.
Take this little dachshund, Cheddar, who is a bit of a neighborhood watch enthusiast according to their TikTok fame (@cheddarismyname). Apparently, Cheddar was making quite the scene, “terrorizing” the neighbors and builders next door, with no signs of calming down, as per their owner’s June 3 TikTok post.
Faced with a whirlwind of chaos caused by Cheddar, the wise owner decided to turn the tables with some good ol’ music to drown out the construction noise. And guess what? It worked like magic!
But hold on to your hats – the music genre that caught Cheddar’s attention was classical music. The moment those soothing melodies started, Cheddar hopped on their owner’s lap and drifted off into dreamland.
“She snoozed while I slaved away at my desk for hours,” said the owner.
By the way, this TikTok post has racked up 7,818 views and 775 likes so far – not too shabby!
“High culture dog,” quipped one viewer, while another recommended checking out the ‘Relaxing Classical Music for dogs‘ playlist on Spotify by Battersea (yep, like the dog’s home). They swear by it for their pooches.
How Music Affects Dogs
Ever wondered how music influences our furry friends? Well, imagine everyday noises like vacuums, sirens, or construction work on steroids for dogs. Their sharp ears pick up on these sounds in high definition, potentially causing them stress and anxiety.
But fear not, music enthusiasts! Introducing some tunes can work wonders. Just like us, dogs can chill out to classical music—an actual study by the American Kennel Club backs this up! Dogs listening to classical beats tend to relax, breathe easier, and bark less. It’s like therapy for them!
What’s on your playlist? Classical music, reggae, and soft rock make dogs feel zen. On the flip side, heavy metal might give Fido the shakes, and pop music…well, it’s just meh for them.
