SONGS TO MAKE DOGS HAPPY is the first qualitatively and quantitatively researched musical CD for dogs ever created! The songs and music are based upon the choices of 214 canine participants – what THEY want to hear in songs!
Skip’s Animal Company (of Laurel Canyon, CA) and Kim Ogden – Avrutik, DR. P.H., Intuitive Animal Communicator, have collaborated to create music that dogs, themselves, want to hear!
214 dogs were queried as to their preferences in lyrical content and music type. This population represented canines of both sexes, many ages and varied breeds from geographical locations across the US and Canada. Topics for the dogs’ preferences were taken from Dr. Ogden’s research. All song lyrics were reviewed and edited by Dr. Kim for content and feasibility of mental an emotional comfort to the dog. Musical tracks for the song’s lyrics were then recorded. Dr. Kim then played CDs and tapes of the selections for canine participant focus groups. Canine comments relating to the songs were documented in detail and each song’s lyrics and music were adjusted accordingly. The song writing/documentation process has taken more than ten months, and ongoing research continues today.
