It sounds like your dog may be stressed by the loud noises from the movie you were watching. Dogs can be sensitive to high volumes and particularly low-frequency sounds like heavy bass.
- Loud noises can cause anxiety in dogs.
- Provide a quiet and safe space for your dog during loud activities.
- Consider reducing the volume or using noise-cancelling options.
Dogs have a more acute sense of hearing than humans, and they can be distressed by sounds that don’t bother us. When watching TV, especially action movies with intense sound effects, your dog might feel uneasy or anxious. Create a comfortable, quiet space where your dog can retreat and relax. Offering a distraction like a chew toy or turning on soft music in another room can help mitigate the impact of loud noises.
