Why doesn't my dog recognize his name when he hears it on TV? Or respond to other dogs barking on TV?

He associates his name with a particular voice/voices. Does he respond to strangers?

He probably learned the source of the name calling. When he was younger, he probably heard his name or barking coming from the TV, and when he tried to respond, there was nothing there but a box and a moving picture. So he soon learned that when his name or a bark originates from where the TV is, it isn't something real. And the barking in the neighborhood could just be him knowing barks, just like you know voices.

And maybe he can hear noises from the TV that you can't, like static, which doesn't exist when something live is calling him. Try this...record yourself saying his name and play it on the TV or record neighborhood dogs' barks and do the same. See if he responds then. Also try standing where the TV is and call his name.

A dog should be trained on how to eat, walk with you, not to bark, potty training and sleep on its place etc. You can teach anything to your puppy, dogs get trained easily with some good instructions. If you want some good training tips visit https://tr.im/trainingdog

If properly trained, they should also understand whistle and gesture equivalents for all the relevant commands, e.g. short whistle or finger raised sit, long whistle or flat hand lay down, and so on.

It's important that they also get gestures and whistles as voice may not be sufficient over long distances and under certain circumstances.

Your dog doesn't like canned noise.

hello there i also have a dog thats the same i was thinking something on the lines of the pitch when the dog hears barking in the streets its alot louder than what he or she would hear from the tv thats my guess but im sure its just something to do with the difference of tv n outside

Smart Dog.

He probably doesn't recognize it because he doesn't know the voice. I should know: I have to shitzuhs!

He knows tv is not real. He's learned to ignore it

I have an Ideea record yourself and then look what is his reaction! I bet is the same!I don't know why

Your dog is almost as smart as a cat!
