My dog keeps scratching the TV whenever there's a dog?

Question

Whenever a dog appears on screen, Coco ( My english cocker spaniel) scratches at the TV as if the dog is real.

I mean. My dog is not that dumb. He's pretty smart and he behaves pretty well. But...about the TV thing...I don't know what to do about it. I want him to feel free to watch tv but..dogs seem to appear a lot on TV...What am I suppose to do? I don't want my LCD TV to be damaged..

Hi. drcrusherrr.

"Cockerspaniels, wouldn't be a problem"?
MY dog can climb almost everything in our house.

I once saw him climb an open closet using the doorknob and a chair. He's pretty damn smart.

I don't think Coco would climb the furniture to scratch the tv if my tv was put on a higher level, but i wouldn't buy a new furniture to put my tv on a higher level, just so Coco would not touch the tv.

Answer 1

DON'T YELL AT YOUR ANIMALS OR THEY WILL BE AFRAID OF YOU AND NOT TRUST YOU.

I have the same exact problem, what I did was put the t.v. on a higher level so that it's paws will not be able to reach it. Since it's a cockerspaniel, it wouldn't be much of a problem. I have a german shepherd and it does the same thing. I just put the tv on a higer level, so she wouldn't be able to reach it.
