Music therapy for dogs?

In a recent thread, people were laughing at the idea of playing classical music for puppies. It is a well-known fact that classical music can have good effects on the brains of human babies, and of course, music/sounds can have physiological and physical effects on humans of any age...but I like to think our brains are a little different than our dogs (I am pretty sure my wolfdogs are smarter than me at many points in the day

).

Ironically tonight, I was watching a dog training show on TV - and the trainer used this to help calm 3 anxious Great Danes:

I laughed...and could only wonder - would this music calm the "savage" wolfdog - or help to produce a more balanced puppy?
