A study by the Scottish SPCA and the University of Glasgow suggests that dogs find reggae and soft rock music most relaxing. The research found that while classical music initially calmed dogs, they became bored with it after a few days. Reggae and soft rock, on the other hand, helped reduce stress, leading to less barking and slower heart rates.
IT is often said that music is a form of therapy — an escape from life’s stressors and, of course, entertainment at its best.
However, these canines appear to have two favourite genres that help them relax—reggae and soft rock. But is this true?According to a study by the Scottish SPCA and the University of Glasgow, your beloved canine would likely feel at ease with a Bob Marley song playing in the background. The SPCA’s head of research, Gilly Mendes Ferreira, speculated that this may be because these genres have a rhythm similar to a dog’s own heart rate.
Meanwhile, in a BBC report, Professor Neil Evans from the University of Glasgow confirmed that reggae and soft rock showed the most positive behaviour in dogs, although responses varied with other genres.
