Tips for Using Calming Videos
Set the volume low
Keep audio at a comfortable background level — not too loud, not silent. Aim for the volume you'd use for soft background music.
Position the screen at eye level
Place your TV or tablet where your dog can comfortably watch without straining their neck. A couch or dog bed in front of the screen works great.
Start before you leave
Turn the video on 5–10 minutes before you head out. This helps your dog associate the video with calm, not with your departure.
Pair with other calming tools
Videos work best as part of a routine. Combine with a comfort toy, a worn t-shirt with your scent, or a calming treat for best results.
