This AI-powered dog bark collar safely trains your furry friend to bark only when necessary

Posted on by

Having pets is fun and rewarding, but as our parents warned us, it’s also a big responsibility. In addition to feeding them and cleaning after them, it’s also our job to make sure they behave properly, both in private and in public. The latter can be especially problematic when it comes to dogs with bad barking habits, making a lot of noise almost incessantly. There are many ways to teach a dog to keep quiet, but most of them end up being ineffective. Manual training is stressful for both dog and owner, while some tools or gadgets turn out to be harmful to the pet’s physical and mental well-being. With this innovative dog bark collar, however, your dog can gradually learn when to bark and when to keep quiet safely and humanely, all thanks to the power of AI.

HushPuppy – The world’s first AI dog bark collar.

HushPuppy can help you train your dogs to learn to be quiet at the correct times and locations.

Dogs can be a person’s best friend, but just like humans, they can have different temperaments and behaviors. Unfortunately, some dogs develop what people call nuisance or excessive barking, which can sometimes be triggered by random everyday sounds or objects. Bark collars are growing in popularity as a way to train dogs not to bark at certain times, but they aren’t always effective and can even be excessive, defeating the purpose of training and causing the poor dog more stress and anxiety. By utilizing cutting-edge AI, the HushPuppy bark collar can be smart in detecting your dog’s barking and safely guide your faithful companion to better behavior.

AI soundprint detection accurately recognizes dog bark, leading to an interruption of barking behavior.

Through repeated interruption, the dog learns to quiet down so you can enjoy a peaceful life once more.

NFSF technology ensures that the collar won’t easily capture a dog’s bark more than 5 feet away.

Unlike most bark collars in the market, HushPuppy uses tiny AI models installed right onto the collar’s chip to detect sounds and differentiate a dog’s bark from other indoor and outdoor sounds such as alarms, car horns, doors, and even people laughing. This prevents a “false alarm” that would have otherwise triggered the collar’s conditioning effect incorrectly. HushPuppy boasts 99.1% accuracy and, thanks to Adaptive Sound Detection (ASD) and High Precision Computational Audio (HPCA) technology, it can even identify your dog’s bark in a noisy environment. Even better, a state-of-the-art Near-Field Sound Filter (NFSF) ignores barking that is more than 5 feet away, which means a nearby dog’s barking won’t incorrectly trigger the collar either.

Warning mode (white LED) and training mode (blue LED).

When HushPuppy does detect your dog barking, it will send a safe “reminder” to tell your dog not to bark, applying the principles of Pavlovian behavioral conditioning to discourage dogs from this kind of behavior. In training mode, this comes as a vibration and a beep. In warning mode, however, a mild static stimulus is also added to the response. This static stimulus is delivered by a single AAA battery at a fixed electricity level to ensure the safety of the dog while still delivering a memorable nudge to help develop good behavior. Over time, this repetition will help the dogs form a positive association so that they will quiet down when they hear or feel the stimulus.

In addition to a safe training method, HushPuppy is also designed to be completely safe and comfortable to wear. No metal parts are exposed and a conductive soft silicone gel is used instead, ensuring that the collar is soft on the skin and free of potential allergic reactions and unsafe edges. It’s so easy to use, there isn’t even a manual power button! The collar immediately springs into action once it detects a bark, and then goes into a low-energy standby mode when no more barks are heard. Thanks to this smart operation, it can last up to 300 days on standby or 21 days of regular daily use, all on a single AAA battery. With the AI-driven HushPuppy, your canine companion will be able to learn good barking habits in a smart and safe way, saving both you and your precious pet from embarrassment and stress.

Garmin Alpha could be the most capable dog tracker you can use for training as well

Posted on by

Garmin’s reputation for innovation and excellence in navigation technology has earned it the trust and admiration of users worldwide. From avid hikers to professional pilots, Garmin is the go-to choice for reliable, accurate, and user-friendly GPS solutions. But what if Garmin expanded its expertise to a different kind of navigation?

Pet lovers and dog enthusiasts could get a reason to celebrate if Garmin rolled out something like the Alpha T20/TT25 dog tracker and training device. Designed by talented Shawn Wang for Garmin, Alpha dog tracker represents a leap forward in pet tracking and training. It offers a range of user-friendly features designed to enhance the training experience and provide real-time tracking of your beloved pet with Garmin’s trust.

Designer: Shawn Wang

As pet owners, we understand the importance of keeping our furry companions safe but often don’t realize that training is the cornerstone of a well-behaved and happy pet. Shawn understands this well and has therefore embedded the dog tracker with a combination of vibrations and sound tones to communicate with your dog during training sessions. This approach makes it easy to teach your dog new commands, discourage unwanted behaviors, and reinforce positive actions.

With the Alpha dog tracker, training your dog could become convenient. The collar offers an intuitive and humane way to establish communication between you and your pal, as gentle vibrations and sound tones help your pet understand your commands and improve obedience, fostering a deeper bond between you and your dog.

This is only a part of what the Alpha dog tracker – as the name has it – can pull off. Embedded with a GPS tracking system, the tracker allows you to monitor your dog’s location in real-time, up to an impressive range of 9 miles. Whether you’re exploring the great outdoors or letting your dog roam in a secure area, you can rest assured that you will always know where your pet is.

The Alpha dog collar with a fabric strap works in conjunction with a compatible hand-held system, which enables you to keep tabs on your dog’s whereabouts. To enhance the dog tracker’s functionality, it is also provided with built-in flashlights for illumination in low-light conditions, ensuring you can always see your pet even in the dark. To keep the functions running, you get a rechargeable battery onboard the collar, which is attached to a convenient USB port for charging. With its user-friendly training features, real-time GPS tracking, built-in flashlights, and rechargeable battery, Alpha dog collar combines functionality with convenience for both the human and their pet.

Biometric dog collar monitors your pooch’s vitals, keeps tabs on its current location

Posted on by

Thanks to the pandemic, we have realized the importance of tracking body vitals regularly and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Now a company has perceived the importance of the same for the man’s best friend and has devised a dog collar that should keep tabs on your dog’s activity levels, heart and respiratory health with medical accuracy.

As a pet owner, I often struggle in understanding my doggo’s health. Since the poor guy cannot speak, it’s difficult to comprehend his pain without the vet’s help. With this new biometric health collar designed for dogs – will eventually be miniaturized for pups and cats – Invoxia intends to help out many other pet owners like me, who can now constantly measure the vital stats of their dogs including respiration and heart rate.

Announced at CES 2022, the Invoxia smart dog collar in addition to monitoring the vital stats also doubles as a GPS and activity tracker for your pooch and uses Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, and LTE-M for connectivity. It can keep constant tabs on the dog’s activity levels such as walking, running, resting, scratching and barking and even provide pet parents with data regarding their dog’s daily routine on the accompanying app.

For constant heart and respiratory health readings, this smart dog collar features radar sensors. The radar, according to Invoxia, sends out a radio signal which is reflected by the dog’s first layer of skin on the neck. The radar sensors are then able to “know the speed and movement of the skin right under the collar.” The readings are tabulated by an algorithm to determine the pet’s heart and respiratory rate.

Since, we like the collar to sit loosely and comfortably around our dogs’ necks, Invoixa has taken that into consideration and made their smart dog collar more receptive than the similar kind of trackers in smartwatches for humans. So, you can have the collar sit comfortably around the dog’s neck and still be assured of medical accuracy from it. The comfortable yet smart dog collar comes with easy to wash, removable fabric cover, and is very aggressively priced at $99 with an additional $12.99 monthly subscription for GPS features.

Some pet owners can be skeptical of having their dogs fastened with a tracking and health monitoring device throughout the day and also feel they don’t necessarily want to know about vital signs constantly. Invoxia believes, the smart dog collar will be beneficial for post-operative monitoring and health tracking of dogs reeling with respiratory or cardiac illnesses. This dog collar is overly important since the heart and respiratory rates are first and true indicators for preventive care and the dog’s baseline anomalies can help owners and vets detect illnesses early.

These AirTag collars let you use Apple’s ‘Find My’ feature to keep track of your pets

Posted on by

I’d honestly prefer a bunch of these over the ridiculously expensive Hermès tag-holders Apple decided to peddle. After all, if I had to choose between protecting my keys or my pet, I think the answer is pretty obvious.

Say hello to DogTag – a pet-collar designed by the fine folks at Studio Proper that has its own protective enclosure for an Apple AirTag. Designed to work with dogs as well as cats, the DogTag lets you easily keep track of your furry little friend when they’re scampering about outdoors or even playing hide-and-seek with you inside the house. Relying on Apple’s powerful ‘Find My’ network, the DogTag lets you be able to keep track of your pet no matter where they are. You can create no-go zones for them, knowing if and when they scale your fence and jump right into your neighbor’s prized flower-bed… and if they decide to play hooky right before bathing time, you can easily ‘ping’ the AirTag inside the collar to give up your furry little monster’s location, or use the Find Nearby feature to help guide you to them!

Like all standard collars, the DogTag is made from a woven nylon strap and an adjustable buckle lets you tighten or loosen the collar. You can put the DogTag around your dog or cat’s neck, or if you have one of those smaller pets, the tag can easily go around their waist too, like a fashionable little belt. The collar comes along with a secure two-part soft silicone housing that protects the tags from accidental bumps or even getting wet, plus the inner safety enclosure prevents your pets from actually gnawing at the tag too – or accidentally ingesting it or its battery. Priced at $29.95 Australian Dollars (that’s a little above $23 USD), the DogTag is available on Studio Proper’s website… and they’re Authorized Apple Resellers too, which means you can get yourself a collar ALONG with the AirTag for $74.95 AUD ($58 USD)

This dog leash fits everything you need in one system – including sound and vibration training!

Posted on by

I quickly realized I would never have a career as a juggler when I started taking my dog out for walks. As a pet owner, you have to hold so many things in your hand – the leash, poop bags, water, etc. and if you have an untrained puppy then you are on juggling level 5000. To make this intense task easier on you and your dog, GoGoLeash has created an all-in-one leash and collar system that not only combines all the items you need to carry but also helps to train your dog using sound! Sounds amazing, right? Then let’s ‘reel it in’.

Right off the bat, GoGoLeash has everything you need to carry in one compact leash system – it has poop bags, is retractable, has a light, is waterproof, includes a seatbelt, and also a water tank! This is like Jarvis for your pet. An amazing feature that makes it a smart leash is that it enables you to train four dogs at a time with the same tool by simply switching the training modes that are customized to each of them. “We provide you multi-functional dog handles with built-in LED, water tank, poop bag storage, and TWO training modes with a new training collar. Solve all the problems you may have and make your time with your dog more harmonious,” explains the team. The leash handle may look deceptively small but it houses a water bowl and water tank that holds 150 ml of water for your pet. The in-built storage works for holding 15 waste bags at a time and all you need to do is buy refills when you run out because it is universally sized.

The collar has some tech features that really make it stand out in the pet market. Dogs learn through repetition and when they start recognizing a specific sound or even vibration they learn to react to it appropriately – something Ivan Pavlov has proven to us already! The sound training feature lets you easily overlay an audible sound over a known (or learning) verbal command to quickly teach your dog commands like “sit,” “stay,” and “heel.” The GoGoLeash Training System has a maximum range of about 650 feet. The second feature is the vibration collar which was especially included for dogs that may have hearing problems. Vibration is a safe and humane way to work with dogs of any size to help train them, praise them, and correct behavior – it is a feature that was meant to be inclusive for hearing-impaired pets but can be used universally. It is ergonomically designed and durable so you can be a crazy dog person who wants to have five pups and walk them at the same time!

DIY GPS dog collar helps your pup fulfill its mobile computing potential

Yeah, you love your dog, but is he or she really pulling his or her weight? A new project from Adafruit brings an on-board computer to your roaming canine, tracking the distance to your and your pup's goal with a progress bar. The project is pretty simple, and Adafruit offers up most of the supplies, including the GPS and Atmega32u4 breakout boards -- though you'll have to procure your own fabric to make the big flower and some black nail polish to blot out the bright LEDs. The functionality isn't quite as advanced as, say, products from Garmin -- nor is it going to fill up your Twitter stream, but the collar does have the potential to track your mutt's walks around the neighborhood with a few tweaks.
