And you think teevee is a vast wasteland?

DOGTV — the first-ever TV network devoted to “stay-at-home” canines — launches Aug. 1 on satellite provider DirecTV.

“DOGTV is the ideal baby sitter for ‘home alone’ dogs. Research shows that dogs feel better in the company of television, especially when the right content is on,” the network says on its Web site.

House-bound hounds can watch videos that will help them relax from the stress of chasing cats and pining for their next bowl of Alpo.

“Relaxing sounds and music have been created to keep anxious dogs calm,” the network said in a statement.

The shows can also help jittery pooches get used to stressful situations, such as blaring car horns and tail-pulling toddlers.

These segments will include “stimulating programming,” to “desensitize and expose dogs to different day-to-day stimuli,” according to the network.

Now it can be a vast wasteland for pets too.
