My dog and I have coffee and treats together outside every morning, so I have his full attention. His eyes are dead set on me most of the time. I have found that singing helps us bond. (He has a bit of an independent streak and an attitude, so we need to bond.) He reacts to the notes in the music (head tilts, etc.).
Lately the only songs I can think of are Fresh Eyes and the gaga ballad million reasons(?). He likes songs with a lot of vocal range. Gaga may not be the right energy - we have to eliminate the negativity - and we don't want something so peppy that he gets more excited and barks. He loves to bark. We go outside early and I don't want to wake the neighbors and I have been teaching him not to bark (which is why I bring treats).
Anyway... what are some good songs to sing to my dog to help us bond and be calm (but not sleepy)?
