Sound- and music-based products for dogs are flooding into the market. There are myriad devices and playlists that are purported to relax your dog, soothe your dog, and even cure your dog of medical conditions. Some products claim to include special frequencies or vibrations that will make your dog feel better or improve their brain functions. Most of these products refer to clinical studies in their marketing. The advertising copy will say, “Music is clinically proven to help dogs relax!” It's true that there have been studies of music for dogs. Their outcomes, as compiled and assessed by experts and in review articles, are weak. In addition, there’s a big disconnect in what the studies find and the sounds these products provide. In this Webinar: Eileen will lead you through the claims versus the realities of these products. Topics include: The state of dogs and music research as published in three scholarly review articles What can make a sound intrinsically pleasant or aversive Red flags to look for in product marketing The dangers of aversive sound products The dangers of appetitive sound products What is really going on with products that advertise that they include ultrasound The problems with vibration-based products The things we know through music therapy for humans that aren’t considered in the dog world What soundproofing can and can’t do How to take an evidence-based approach to incorporating sound into behavior plans
