I have a 4 year old Westie. She barks at the TV all the time, mainly when other animals appear on the TV. She will sit and watch the TV and her eyes scan the screen constantly. She has also learnt when animals are going to appear as she has learnt to recognise cues from adverts she regularly sees. She will bark and jump up at the TV.
She is quite a nervous and reactive dog in general. However I am usually able to train her out of the behaviour. For example she used to bark and lunge at the vacuum but I used positive reinforcement to stop that and now she just ignores the vacuum. I have even made some success with getting to stop her barking at dogs she sees on walks. However with the TV my attempts so far have been unsuccessful.
Does anyone have any advice?
Thank you
