IF you don’t want to splash out on gadgets, these simple tricks will help keep your dog’s tail wagging even if you’re not there.

Film and TV: Background noises and music can be really soothing for dogs, especially those frightened of noises outside. So why not flick on a movie for them to watch – my top pick is Secret Life Of Pets!

Created in partnership with animal experts, they feature a mix of soothing music, dog-directed speech and original sound design.
