STRAIGHT ANSWER · Pets & bizarre behaviour

Why does my dog bark at its reflection only in the television, not a mirror?

Our answer

TV reflections move, flash and produce sound unlike mirrors; reduce image motion, block screen access and reinforce calm behaviour at a distance.

Why this approach makes sense

Animal behaviour depends on the individual pet and the situation; choose a gradual, comfortable approach.

Before you try it

Avoid forcing behaviour or using equipment that is the wrong size for the animal.
