TV for Dogs – Real Pack Life from Doggy Woods Retreat

Welcome to Doggy Woods Retreat — your pup’s new favorite network for DogTV-style videos filmed around the world.

We create TV for dogs: long, calming videos that entertain and comfort pups who are home alone, anxious, or just love watching other dogs.

These are real-life pack walks, forest adventures, and social time from our dog boarding and daycare business and friends around the world — not artificial loops or stock clips.

If your dog gets anxious, bored, or just loves watching other dogs… this is the real DogTV alternative they’ll love.

Josh, Colette, Eve, and our friends are proud to share real dogs playing, exploring, and relaxing together.

Leave a comment with your dog's name written in phonetic English so I can pronounce it correctly!

I filmed a lot of dog POV footage during several trips to Costa Rica. Some clips have dogs in them, some are just walking through towns and streets looking for dogs.
I’m curious what you’d enjoy most:
• Dogs Only – I edit the footage down to only scenes where dogs appear.
• Full Walk – You see the entire journey exactly as it happened, including the streets and places we explored looking for dogs.
• Classic Doggy Woods – I focus instead on making another normal 12-hour dog video like the ones many of your pups already watch.
I’d love to know what you think!

Episode 4 of Season 3 will be out in the next few days!

We have been swamped running Doggy Woods. Phew.

Also, something I realized recently — I’ve never really done anything specific just for members. It’s only a $1 membership, so I’ve never wanted to overpromise anything, but there are a handful of you who’ve been members for a long time, and I really appreciate that. So here’s what I want to do: if you’re a member, please comment below and let me know your dog’s name(s). I want to do a members-only callout section at the very beginning of episode 4
Late joins are totally fine. Cutoff is tomorrow night 🥰🌹 happy valentines day!

— if you join now, you’ll be included too. I just want to make sure I’ve got the names right and do something small but personal to say thanks.

Comment your dog's name below. If you are a member, please make sure to say so!!!!

If you aren't a member, your dogs name will still be called out in the next couple of videos 🙂

⚠️ This is an abnormally long YouTube post.
Which feels appropriate, given the videos.
Joke joke.

Season 3 is here! Season premier in just a few minutes!

This isn’t a hype announcement or a clean reset. It’s more of a check-in with the people who’ve been here a while, because this channel has always been a little different — and it’s getting more intentionally different going forward.

The core challenge I’ve been wrestling with for a long time is pretty simple to say, but weirdly hard to solve:

I’m not really making videos for people.
I’m making environments for dogs.

And dogs do not agree on anything.

Inside my own pack, I’ve watched the same screen produce totally different reactions:

• Too many barks and some dogs go nuts.
• Too few barks and others don’t care at all.
• Too many corrections and a few will literally leave the room.
• No corrections and some dogs completely disengage.

Same video. Same house. Totally different dogs.

So Season 3 isn’t about chasing one perfect format. It’s about finally accepting that different dogs want different things at different times of day — and building around that instead of fighting it.

You’ll start seeing a more deliberate mix of environments:

• Pack walks with varying levels of calm, sound, and callouts
• Very quiet, low-stimulus videos
• Louder, more energetic pack content
• Single-subject videos for dogs that prefer focus (like the hawk videos)
• Human-present, animal-light environments (like the mangroves)
• And sometimes… nothing moving at all — sunsets, stillness, music, background noise

Not because I want to do more, but because dogs already experience their day that way.

Alongside that, we’ll be putting out shorter daily episodes — not as “short-form content,” but as a way for you to actually learn what kind of viewer your dog is.

Does your dog lock in when it’s quiet?
Do they perk up only with energy?
Do they check out when there’s too much movement?

Those shorter videos are meant to help you figure that out, so the longer videos make more sense — whether that’s quiet-only, loud-only, or mixed environments meant to run through an entire day.

You’ll also start seeing more consistency around live streams.

There are really three different live things happening:

First, we’re planning a Friday night live show, aiming for spring of 2026.
Friday nights at 7pm, live with me and my three dogs — Casey, French Fry, and Piper.

That show will be relaxed and conversational. We’ll talk general dog principles, pull ideas from a variety of trainers and philosophies, introduce new dogs as they join the pack, and take live callers to help with real, everyday dog questions in real time. Nothing polished. Just dogs, people, and honest problem-solving.

Second, there will be long-running live streams specifically for dogs, especially for households without YouTube Premium — so the TV isn’t constantly asking if your dog is “still watching” while your dog has absolutely no idea how a remote works.

Those streams are meant to run, uninterrupted, as an actual environment.

Third, we’ll also have: • a continuous music-focused live stream, and
• a vertical, phone-friendly live stream from a more human point of view

Different screens, different needs, same philosophy.

One other thing, mentioned quietly because that’s how I prefer it:
some of the walking videos you’ll see — especially under Walks for Hope — are connected to shelters we’re working with in Costa Rica. If that’s something you care about or want to explore, it’s there.

So that’s Season 3.

Not a pivot.
Not a reinvention.
Just a more honest version of what this channel has always been trying to do — create spaces that dogs actually want to be in.

If you’ve been here a long time, thank you for sticking with the experimentation.
If you’re newer, welcome — and feel free to ignore this entire post and let your dog decide what stays on the screen.

More soon.

Our latest video is coming out today in a few minutes. These longer videos are taking forever to upload so I am sorry about the timing! There is a ton of amazing play and fun in this video and you get to watch as the pond build finishes up. Thank you so much for watching our videos and we love each and every pup in our pack. Season 3 is coming and we will have quiet and loud walks be separate so everyone can choose exactly what is best for their pups!

I visited Costa Rica to help some of the shelters there. In the videos with shelter dogs how much chit chat and discussion about the shelter do you want in the video for dogs?
