A recent scientific study on man's best friend and music by the Scottish SPCA and The University of Glasgow concluded that dogs like reggae and soft rock best.
In a press release Professor Evans said that dogs "showed the highest positive changes in behaviour" while listening to these genres above other genres. They knew this by measuring the dogs' heart rate for each listen and researchers said they showed a decrease in stress levels particularity when the aforementioned genres are played.
However, Professor Evans conceded that this might not represent the taste of all dogs: “Overall, the response to different genres was mixed,” he said, “highlighting the possibility that, like humans, our canine friends have their own individual music preferences.”
The study also suggested that dogs appreciate all music, regardless of genre, spending “significantly more time lying and significantly less time standing” while it was being played, the BBC reports.
This breakthrough find has resulted i It is worth noting that during the study, only five genres were tested—soft rock, Motown, pop, reggae, and classical.
In 2015, the Scottish SPCA and University of Glasgow released a study showing that classical music also helped dogs relax.
