How do I stop a dog reacting to TV animal sounds when the screen is muted?

There can still be high-frequency audio or remembered moving images; check actual mute state and reinforce calm away from the screen.
Why this approach makes sense
Animal behaviour depends on the individual pet and the situation; choose a gradual, comfortable approach.
