"California-based business Traini is selling what it calls the 'world's first real-time human-dog conversational collar'. Videos posted on the company's website show the gadget in action. In one, a man asks an app on his phone: 'Can you get me the remote?' The translator then turns those words into AI barks, to which the dog actually responds. Another shows the pet licking a man's face after the app translated the owner ordering: 'Give me a kiss.'"
"She told The Sun: 'When a dog barks there are different emotions displayed through high pitched and lower gruffer barks. 'Higher is more anxious or scared while lower is more confident. You can understand how an app might be able to recognise those different emotions. 'But I can't see the logic in being able to have a conversation with it. You can train a dog to get a remote. There are certain phrases like dinner or walkies it might understand. But general chit chat, no.'"
California-based firm Traini is selling a device described as the 'world's first real-time human-dog conversational collar' that translates human speech into AI-generated dog barks. Company videos show the device converting commands like 'Can you get me the remote?' into barks that prompt the dog to respond and translating 'Give me a kiss' to elicit a lick. Traini's website markets the tool as a pet behavioural AI meant to respond emphatically and align technology with pet well-being. Celebrity dog trainer Sharon Bolt doubts the app could enable full conversations, noting barks convey emotions but not complex chit-chat.
