To those owned by dogs

One of the latest Liberty ins. commercials features 'Doug' blowing on a bird whistle call. It drives our dogs crazy which drives us crazy racing to find the remote to mute it.
Anybody else with dogs experiencing that?
My wife emailed the company and asked them to quit airing that commercial. Apparently, she hasn't been the only one.
I have noticed lately that the worst half of the commercial has been dropped 90% of the time.
Maybe asking does work sometimes?

I don't let my dogs watch TV..

They're just scared of a lawsuit.

Need a cat whistle for that.

My Pavlov's cats are conditioned to go berserk at the sound of the Temptations box being shaken.

It has gotten to where we can't shake out pills or cereal without being stormed.

I have an ancient small dog who isn't very good about going outside anymore. The cat hates that. She's taken to yelling at her and me at 5 pm and leading Sadie out the back door

Every time Werewolf's in London came on the radio my hounds would gather around the speakers and howl with the song.

I don't have dogs but you gotta admit, that that is funny about the whistle.

Mine pays the whistle no attention and even less attention to TV

Our 13 year old toy poodle is getting like that

Ours do also. Any rattling that sounds like dry food or treats and they are all over you.

My dogs would do the same (but bark) with that dogs barking jingle bells song they would play at Christmas.

My son also thought the Feliz Navidad song by Jose Feliciano was saying/singing "Fleas are on the Dog."

Don't be too hard on the dogs. I'm the same way every time that Mariah Carey Christmas song comes on.

Liberty doesn't have a dog problem; you (and others) have a dog problem.

My dog likes the Temptations but prefers Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes............

The whistling at the end of the "Longest Day" drove my Border Collie/terrier mix absolutely berserk. Nothing else ever effected her like that!

Our dog is occasionally fascinated by the TV, but I haven't noticed her paying any attention to the Liberty Mutual commercials...

Our 14.5 yr old JRT does not pay any attention to anything that's not edible.

If a dog or really any animal is on the screen our beagle mix is locked on the TV. There was another commercial that featured the Running of the Bulldogs that would start with the traditional horn music played at bull fights. No matter where that dog is, if it hears that song it makes a beeline to the TV. She's pretty smart about associating sounds with visual stimuli.
