This is super cool! I started toying around with pretty much the exact same concept at the same time as this (2019 - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;rckoepke&#x2F;dog_training_NN&#x2F;blob&#x2F;master&#x2F;DogTrain2-rckoepke-2019-12-10&#x2F;temp-DogTrain1-Fixed&#x2F;file0948.png" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;rckoepke&#x2F;dog_training_NN&#x2F;blob&#x2F;master&#x2F;DogT...</a>) but realized I needed significantly more skills in embedded and mechanical areas to realize my vision.<p>I completely agree with targeting use at shelters and dayboarding...if this works at all for untrained dogs it will probably only work for under-stimulated dogs. Shelters are a rich environment for finding under-stimulated dogs.<p>I wish I could say the concept won&#x27;t work in people&#x27;s homes but honestly so many pets are probably also lacking sufficient meaningful interaction with their owners.
