Dog TV Daycare #3

Dogs playing together in a shelter yard (like a dog park) for both people and dogs to watch. It's TV for dogs. Some barking dogs, but having fun.
The dogs are carefully monitored by trained handlers watching for any dog conflicts and avoiding/stopping them.
Designed with your dog's comfort in mind, this video avoids overstimulation, incorporating tranquil periods and steering clear of the intense close-ups found in the Dogs Playing series. Nevertheless, it's crucial to assess your dog's reaction to the on-screen dogs before leaving the video running, ensuring a relaxed and enjoyable experience without any overreactions.

My pekingese I watched these videos with got really sick and we had to put her to sleep! I just wanted to thank you so much for bringing such emense joy to her life and mine! She always got really excited and talked to the TV every time I played these videos for her! She was almost 15yrs old but she acted like a puppy every time she watched them! Anyways , thank you so much! God bless! 🤗 🐕 ❤

[@DogPlaygroupStories]

Sorry to hear about your Pekingese dog. 😥 I'm glad these videos were able to give her enjoyment.

My dog eats both his breakfast and dinner in front of your show. We really appreciate what you are doing and send love and blessings for your continued success.

[@DogPlaygroupStories]

Thanks! I feel like I'm providing a dog pack for dogs at home who want one.

[@YukikoAkazui]

Oh my god ziggy is such a cutie!!❤

[@meghandore2173]

Hey guys! Thanks so much for having such a great channel. I just adopted a three month old amstaff/Catahoula mix and she is obsessed with your videos. We have it running on the TV for hours every day. She races around the room in excitement every time she sees Lola! Thanks again for everything that you do. Stay safe and cuddle those pups for us!

[@DogPlaygroupStories]

Awesome! In addition to making the videos, I also walk the dogs two days a week, so I get to spend time with them outside of the playgroup. I've noticed in making the videos that some dogs just seem to like certain other dogs. Lola is a fun dog and she's still at the shelter in kennel D200. Hopefully she'll be in upcoming videos.

[@amberleestine]

Our oldest dog Ziggy has started jumping on top of the pc on the floor in order to get closer to the dogs on the tv on the wall. It's pure puppy-pandemonium when we play these videos in our home. Thank you so much. ❤

[@DogPlaygroupStories]

Haha! I hope Ziggy Zag doesn't break anything or get hurt.

[@ingridweber6128]

Hi, I think Bunny is a New Zealand Hunterway. My 16 month old Hunterway was going nuts whining and trying to get behind the TV. Bunny looks like his Dad. Very cool, I love your channel

[@DogPlaygroupStories]

I had never heard of a NZ Huntaway (figures, Australia gets all the fame). Looking at photos of them, I definitely see what you're saying. Bunny really looks like one! I'm very glad you and your Huntaway enjoy the channel!

[@shayincolorado5214]

great channel.

[@DogPlaygroupStories]

Thanks!

it must have been hot on this day

[@DogPlaygroupStories]

It was definitely getting warm but not too hot. The late start was bad.

Where’s they’re water???? They are clearly panting & going in the shade????

[@DogPlaygroupStories]

We're stuck with a very bad set of trade-offs, with no good options. Due to a Strep Zoo outbreak, dogs are getting sick and dying after their lungs fill with blood. The disease is spread through water. We can't have individualized water in the yard because it becomes a resource and dogs often fight over resources, especially shelter dogs. We also have overcrowding and have difficulty getting all the dogs out for a walk. Playgroups are an outstanding way for the dogs to de-stress, socialize, poop and pee. The disease is opportunistic and will attack dogs that are stressed out, so playgroups are great for de-stressing lots of dogs. We have limited staff and volunteers to handle the hundreds of dogs. So the question is whether to allow the dogs to be dehydrated until they return to their kennel or allow them to share pools of water and possibly have a lot more of them die of Strep Zoo? Also, is it more stressful to have short-term dehydration or be stuck in their kennels for days at a time. They get *extremely* stressed being stuck in their kennels. For a while we tried dividing the dogs into isolated groups and sanitizing the pools between groups and various other plans. The people running the shelter and making the decisions are seasoned experts including veterinarians specializing in animal shelters. When people post comments that assume these people don't know what they're doing, I need to jump in and address that aspect at a minimum. And my personal non-expert opinion is that it would be better to have water in the playgroups and risk the dogs spreading deadly diseases, guessing that the reduced stress from avoiding temporary dehydration outweighs the increased loading dose of diseases from having common water in the yard.

[@furosh118]

Thank you for the explanation about the water. I hope these dogs eventually get adopted but I know it’s rough for shelters these days

[@goldieschooch8512]

Thank you for replying✌🏻☀️

[@DogPlaygroupStories]

@@furosh118 They definitely have water now. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6WXnoijqrd4r5o

Hopefully you keep setting these long videos up, some commercials can be 38 minutes long when you have the shorter videos set on a playlist. For instance, I put on the “ dogs playing “playlist . My dog comes and finds me , I look at the TV and it’s playing a 38 minute video for an ad. Between the videos. Like of course she doesn’t want to watch that smh 🤦‍♂️

[@DogPlaygroupStories]

That's terrible! I'll look into it.

[@seanm6929]

Can't you give them a more stimulating environment than some bare sand and bare stone walls? Prison yards looks better than this. Shame on you

[@DogPlaygroupStories]

Every now and then we get a "you guys are idiots" comment and I have to stop what I'm doing and respond to the challenge to our credibility. Essentially this *is* like a prison. We get all the dogs discarded by the community and a large percentage of them are abused, neglected, and/or poorly socialized. The staff and volunteers do truly heroic work in getting them to be adoptable and avoid euthanasia. We would rather buy 50 more kennels than spend a bunch of money on fancy architecture that the dogs won't care about. The dogs actually like the sand. We can sterilize it when needed. The dogs get a huge benefit from these playgroups and I've seen so many cases of them being adopted because of the improvements they gain. Everything we do is based on experience with many thousands of dogs over the years and backed by world class experts who pioneered shelter dog playgroups. Etc. etc.

[@alictyne]

“Shame on you” how entitled do you have to be to say this? They’re saving the lives of hundreds of dogs, feeding and taking care of them, training them and helping them to overcome their traumatic pasts and any bad habits they may have developed, is that not enough?

[@alictyne]

@@DogPlaygroupStories Thank you so much for what you’re doing. You guys are truly amazing and saving countless lives. My two dogs also love watching these videos ❤

[@DogPlaygroupStories]

@@alictyne Thanks! Glad to hear your dogs enjoy the videos. It's definitely hard work to help 450 dogs get adopted, especially in the Tucson, Arizona summer. I saw the comment above while running dogs back and forth to the playgroup when I happened to see it, and the heat was already difficult to deal with, but I took a break and responded to the comment (and the other one on another video) because I just couldn't let it sit there.
