Trending Topic: Pet Tech
No, Iām not talking about those dog looking robots that make deliveries (anyone else a little creeped out by those?). But yes, it is a thing! Pet tech is trending just like the rest of the tech world right now and just like all technology, it is ever-evolving. As a dog trainer, I am always on the lookout for the latest and greatest gadgets to help my furry clients. From high-tech collars to interactive toys, there's no shortage of trends to keep up with. But, with all the options out there, which ones are actually worth investing in? Good question! In this blog post, we'll explore some of the most exciting trends in and how they can benefit your pup's training and cognition. Get ready to geek out with me over the latest and greatest in pet tech!
Smart collars: These collars are more than just a fashion accessory - they come equipped with GPS tracking, activity monitoring, and even health sensors to keep tabs on your dog's well-being. Think of it like an Apple watch but for your dog!
Automatic feeders: With automatic feeders, you can ensure that your dog is fed on time even when you're not around. Many models allow you to program specific feeding schedules and portion sizesā¦plus a bunch are app controlled, thatās cool!
Interactive toys: These toys not only keep your dog entertained but also help improve their cognitive abilities. Many interactive toys incorporate treats and puzzles to challenge your dog's cognition and problem-solving skills. I use these when I train.
Home monitoring systems: With home monitoring systems, you can keep an eye on your dog while you're away from home. Many systems come with built-in cameras and two-way audio so you can check in on your dog and even speak to them. Think of it as a baby monitor for your dog.
While each of these things can be helpful tools, it's important to remember that they should never replace the value of in-person training and interaction with your furry friend. Always make sure to prioritize your dog's well-being and happiness above all else.
Happy dog training!
