As a devout dog lover. So much so, that first thing every morning, I write
on an index card, “By combining my passion for music with my love of
dogs, I improve the lives of canines and people worldwide.” It is a
statement I am deeply grateful to own and one that guides my daily
decisions. It manifests itself in Through a Dog’s Ear,
a clinically researched music series with natural, non-pharmaceutical
solutions for dog anxiety issues. I’m a concert pianist, Juilliard graduate, and the recording artist on the Through a Dog’s Ear music series.
A few days ago, I was contacted by Border Collie Rescue Texas. They had just taken in 25 dogs from a horrendous hoarding situation.
These dogs had never been with people, never been indoors, and now
require extra professional expertise as they move into foster homes. My
eyes filled with tears as  I read the email request for Through a Dog’s Ear CD’s to be used in recovery efforts. Contributing my music to dogs in
this way means more to me than appearing on a concert stage.
After packaging 50 free CDs for the Border Collies, I pondered what else we could do to help other animal rescue organizations. Through a Dog’s Ear music now plays in over 125 shelters internationally. We always hear
from grateful shelter managers about how much calmer and quieter the
shelter environment is with the addition of our music. In addition to
calming dogs, the quieter environment creates longer visiting times for
people and often increases adoption rates.
Since our clinical research was conducted by vet neurologist Susan Wagner in 2004, quieter shelter environments do not surprise us. We found that
our psychoacoustically designed sound tracks calms twice as effectively
as ‘regular’ classical music. We provide Dog’s Ear music at cost to shelters while our wonderful publisher, Sounds True, provides free CD’s for the adopters of new shelter dogs
