Dogs Hearing

[fruitsalad]

This morning I've been listening to the Radio, quite loud I might add, and it got me thinking, with dogs and their very sensitive hearing, do you think its a bit much for them, having it on loud?

Your dog's behaviour will tell you if the music is too loud for them - leaving the room, cowering, whimpering, howling are all signs your dog is not coping. If he seems happy and relaxed, there is nothing to worry about.

Hes fine lays on his back with his legs in the air, I dont have it loud for long just while I'm working about, but it did get me wondering.

He is obviously not bothered

well yes and no
// Your dog's behaviour will tell you if the music is too loud for them //
yes that is correct
or - well I agree with that
BUT.... or AND ....
I went with ma dawg to an ACWS ( american civil war society of england ) [ first one where large numbers of gurlz can fire guns rather than just cook ] re enaction
and a terrier dragged a six year old past us
six yr old on his stomach - dog leading
and I said to ma dawg - too loud? and the dog said nope
but clearly it was too loud for the terrier

so I said - loud bangs?
and the dog said - nope OK I am a labrador
and I said Oh
and the dog said - learn a thing a day

dog leading
dog dragging the child
on a lead as a deadd weight
and saying " I can do this" ( the dog that is!)

dogs arent that dumb
I said to my brother after catastrophic loss of sight 50%
he ( the dog) has started leading me around - but how does he know I cant see?

and my brother said - he has seen you walk into things
