The programming, created with the help of dog behavior specialists, is color-adjusted to appeal to dogs, and features 3-6 minute segments designed to relax, to stimulate, and to expose the dog to scenes of everyday life such as doorbells or riding in a vehicle.

Research
DOGTV is based on more than 60 studies from world leading universities and veterinary schools. Ever since the late 1960s, scientists have examined animal behavior, to learn key patterns in their natural behavior, and test effects of socialization and habituation on dogs. For more than three decades major pet organizations such as the ASPCA, Humane Society of the United States and the American Humane Association have recommended leaving the television on for stay at home pets. According to these organizations, leaving the TV or radio on for dogs can reduce stress and provide stimulation. TV can help dogs feel less scared as a result of exterior sounds, by masking outside noise. DOGTV takes into consideration all relevant attributes and conclusions to implement in its content production. These attributes include dog behaviour, vision and hearing.
