Of course, we know about setting up cameras in your dog’s crate and even different treat-throwing machines to interact with your dog while you’re gone and out of the house, but there’s never quite been anything like this before.

Meet Companion.

It’s truly the first of it’s kind when it comes to AI dog training. According to a recent press release, here’s just a little bit more about Companion and exactly what it can do for you and your dog:

"It “can interact with dogs at home for hours a day using cutting-edge hardware, machine learning, responsive software and best-in-class positive reinforcement techniques.”"

Your dog’s latest and newest AI friend, Companion, can also schedule different on-demand engagements for your dogs with other sort of specialized “games, behavior programs, and training”. It can also monitor your pet’s overall health and has some super power special abilities to recognize when something is either out of the norm for your furry friends, or other anxiety or stress-triggering/inducing factors as well.
