DOGS

I think that's just a placeholder. Note: "Actual shipping costs will be confirmed at ship time."

i appreciate this tech but i would just have a long list of

*henry is lying down*
*henry is lying down*
*henry is lying down*
*henry is lying down*
*henry is lying down*
*henry is farting*
*henry is lying down*
*henry is lying down*
*henry is lying down*

awesome. good luck

I would find this handy. One of my dogs has joint and/or muscle problems and his mobility is limited. However, I'm well aware that he plays up to me, and I'd be curious to know how much he moves around when I'm not at home or after I've gone to bed.

This could also be a good thing for dogs with separation anxiety, to see if their dogs do settle down and go asleep after they've gone out or remain active (and possibly distressed) for the whole day. If I hadn't had noise complaints from my neighbours some years ago, I never would have known how much the dogs hated being left alone during the day.

What I'm really holding out for, though, is a microchip with a GPS tracker in it, so that I can find my dog if it ever gets stolen.

Hahah JJJ otm. Benson's monitoring would be pretty damn similar, I think.

yeah but if you synced it to a twitter feed it would still be more interesting than the 77 updates thread

this is benson, benson, after all

xp XD

where was the option for 'mongrel'?

i'd almost go as far as to say 'dog breeds: dud' these days

'dog breeders: hitler'

Just checked the Whistle promo vid. Looks useful. Do you have a Portland distributor? Want one?

Msg me and I'll pass on your info. Not sure if we've settled on a distribution strategy yet (retail vs. online, etc...). Thanks for the interest!

OMG Suzy. Yours??

No, that's the dog Suzy babysits for sometimes iirc!

Kenny is on that sofa RIGHT NOW (he belongs to my friend James, but I'm looking after him for a few days).

One of these days, I'd like my own blue brindle whippet (or whippetlurcher).

kenny!

Ken's here until Friday, and as I write, is passed out on my bed, back legs twitching away because: dog dreaming.

We got a teardown, if you'd like to see my handiwork: http://www.adafruit.com/blog/2014/03/26/whistle-dog-activity-monitor-teardown-wearablewednesday/

i would like to point out that the siberian husky is not dumb, just bored by your stupid tests

aha confirmed -- i looked at the data sheet and "intelligence" = "trainability" which is not exactly the same thing

lol, the cat

moving stealthily

what precisely is the purpose of that hideous chart

To troll dog owners.

Yeah I kinda wish my husky was dumb. He figured out how to open a push button microwave/oven and stole half a rack of ribs. He can now open any door in the house - in and out (including his crate). At this point I've given up on discouraging it and I now use him as an in-house herald; going before me opening (and holding! trainable!) doors, announcing my imminent presence.

lolz i was about to post this too then i remembered how my husky fell off the bed this morning while cleaning her butt

she def only does stuff that she's trained to do when she feels like it

Went to classes and was assured that after a year of consistent practice desired behaviours would become second nature (even in a Husky). A year later and still always the 'what's in it for me?' look.

All four of my dogs (three mixed breeds and a jack russell) are like that. No, we're not coming back. We can't hear you. We're busy over... BISCUITS! Why didn't you say so before? Hello! Look how good we are.

haha you're both otm!!

tbh we haven't been *that* consistent with training, but she's such a brat, and just won't concentrate if she doesn't feel like it. after a year of sleeping on her bed (...mostly), in the last couple weeks she has now become a permanent fixture in OUR bed, bc she's a pro at being a dickhead all day then getting on the bed and acting absolutely pathetic and cute.

that was my dog as well when I had a dog
