Dog anxiety while IWatch charges nearby

Question

Dog anxiety while IWatch charges nearby

I Have eliminated all other optionS. He is normal during day and while watch is on me...but at night if he is in room where watch is charging..., he acts like fireworks are on. If i remove the watch to another room, he goes back to normal. This is only plausible explanation for his Panting, pacing and shaking. Completly normal other times.

has anyone experienced this? It took some thinking on my part...i turned off many other electronics but nothing changed until i removed the charging iwatch.

Apple Watch

Two dogs, three watches, three iPhones, Bluetooth never off, numerous iPads and computers. Phones and watches are charged overnight and dogs sleep nearby. No problems. I can not say they are completely normal as one of them is bonkers all the time.

I haven't experienced that with my dog, but it's not outside the realm of possibility. Their hearing is much more acute than ours. It's entirely possible that the charger or the watch is generating a high frequency sound that's bothering him.

WE had been charging the watch beside the bedside stand on the floor. We also realized there is a steel beam under the floor. Are wondering if the electromagnetic charger might be interacting with beam??. have turned off the bluetooth as suggested and now charging in another room and off the floor.

thanks all

It's hard to say. There is some evidence that dogs may be sensitive to extremely subtle magnetic fields. They tend to 'line up' on magnetic field lines when they 'do their business'... odd, but apparently true.

My dog has a unique ability. We pretty much never watch anything on TV 'live'. It's either recorded on our DVR or Netflix.

She has the ability to know when there is exactly 10 minutes left in whatever we happen to be watching, and announce that she must go out and do her business at that exact moment...

It's like having a toddler in the house again.
