ZURICH, switzerland, Oct. 8 (UPI) — British scientists say they're using movement sensors to track dog behavior that could be used as an early warning sign an older owner is struggling to cope.
Cas Ladha, Ph.D. student Nils Hammerla and undergraduate emma hughes of Newcastle University said the sensors show not only when the dog is on the move, but also how much he is barking, sitting, digging and other key canine behaviors.
The researchers said they were able to set a benchmark against which the happy and healthy animals could be remotely monitored. This allowed for any changes in behavior that might be an indication of illness or boredom to be quickly spotted.
Ladha said the next step is to use the dog's health and behavior as an early warning system that an elderly owner may be struggling to cope.
“A lot of our research is focused on developing intelligent systems that can help older people to live independently for longer,” Ladha said in a statement. “But developing a system that reassures family that an older relative is well without intruding on that individual's privacy is difficult. This is just the first step but the idea behind this research is that it would allow us to discretely support people without the need for cameras.”
Hammerla said a dog's physical and

Hah, when my black lab was alive, my one cat always put him in his place. He never really put out his claws, maybe a few times when he was getting really angry, but for the most part he would just slap him or touch him hah, and we cut my cat’s claws all the time. But anyway, my dog would look at my cat the same way like “ah….i’m not looking at it” ….sometimes we would tell my dog “give Simba a kiss” so he would quickly smush his nose to our cat heh so cute….labs are funny.
lol, we now tell Sadie to give Kodah a kiss all the time, lol
I hope so too, good pets make your day for sure
Yeah bro this website here is just sending out 100% free Pink Apple new iPad’s for today only.
But you have to be give your address but it is all real, I claimed my one just before. Better hurry up! UPAD3.COM
Cause sometimes, you just feel tired. Feel weak. And when you feel weak, you feel like you wanna just give up. But you gotta search within you
Cute video, Kitty looks up at you to make sure she is safe and you’re still there. What a Sweet dog. I bet they play tegether by now. Can you post a update of them?
Sadie’s thoughts: (A cat? A CAT? You fucking traitors! I’ll begin pissing in your loafers shortly)
not sure you’re responsible pet owners .. normal dog would have bitten off the cats head right off the get go .. regardless of all your complex instructions to the contrary.
our dog is not normal, we know our pets well, thus making us great pet owners, to be sure.
Yes, sweet, thanks. Yes, I have a bunch more videos of them getting along great now. They are sweet videos, check them out.
These are domesticated animals, mate. If you don’t set the dog after cats since birth, or have him do that in order to feed, the dog won’t do it when introduced to another animal
