Princess Victoria is a 4 yr old Olde English Bulldog. She sits on the couch in the living room with us anytime we are watching TV.
Anytime any type of "beast" (live action of dogs, horses, cows, etc., and also mythical beasts (think warg from TLOR) if realistic) comes on screen, she jumps off couch (about the only time she jumps, she normally stretches/slides off reluctantly), charges towards TV, puts front legs on old TV cabinet (for years we have had wall mounted flat screen) and barks aggressively at the TV until the beast dissappears, then it stops abruptly. I really believe she thinks the beast(s) is in our house, and they not supposed to be there (she lunges at our cats wanting to play, but no barking or real aggression). this includes save the animals commercials, etc.
any ideas on training this out?
The only other time she barks really is when someone comes on our front porch (if she is inside), or is passing by (if she is outside), both of which I am fine with (she is really a sweetheart and the worst outcome would be possibly knocking someone over and/or slobbering on them). those are alerts to us. the TV thing is starting to getting annoying.
