“Raise the Woof” claims to be the first-ever Christmas song for dogs, which uses different sounds to elicit reactions from our four-legged friends. Tails.com even went as far as to use a doggy focus group while in development. The track’s composition received scientific input from both a vet and a dog behaviorist to create a song that would encourage a positive response. It combines a reggae beat with sounds of squeaky toys, commands and bells.
