Four-legged family members cannot help themselves when they see something outside that triggers their protective instincts. Whether it’s another dog or a stranger making a delivery, their natural barking reaction can prove disruptive. It’s not unusual for homeowners to install long drapes or curtains to block their pet’s sight line in hopes of maintaining peace and quiet. However, in the end, many homeowners do not want to block natural light from entering their homes. That’s why pet owners are turning to window film to minimize barking. 

Which Window Film is Best for Reactive Dogs?

When choosing window film to reduce dog barking, it’s essential to consider a balance between blocking out visual triggers and maintaining the peaceful use of your home. These are three types of popular window films among pet owners.  

Frosted Film

Frosted window film provides an excellent visual barrier to reduce barking in reactive dogs. Plus, with the option to choose from different designs like gradients, solid frost, or patterns, frosted film can match your home’s design, looking as visually appealing as it is effective in reducing the chances that your dog reacts to strangers outside.

Decorative Window Film

Custom-designed window film for dogs allows homeowners to choose a pattern or glass finish that enhances their interior décor. Using next-generation technology, decorative window film can be used to create designs and stained-glass appearances on your windows. Rather than just blur your pooch’s vision to stop the barking, you can enhance the aesthetics of your living space with your own design.

Gradient Window Film

Employing gradient window films can be an excellent solution to blocking a dog’s field of vision while allowing plenty of natural light to enter your living space. Gradient dog window film involves integrating a decorative pattern along the lower areas of the glass. At human eye levels, the panes can remain clear and your views unobstructed.

Benefits of Window Film for Homes with Dogs

Installing window film for reactive dogs can reduce unnecessary noise and disruption. Depending on your choice of window film, they can also significantly reduce the amount of UV rays that cause floors, furniture, and carpeting to fade unevenly. These window films also protect you and your loved ones from getting too much UV.
