Although this might seem like a long time, it is worth waiting for as it will benefit generations of pets and their owners. This dream of every animal lover is very close to coming true, as Amazon is currently working on a gadget that will let you communicate with your pet, which should be launched within the next 10 years. For example 2–3 million dogs die every year as they are unable to communicate their needs to their owners. Aside from helping pet owners to understand their animal friends better, this technology also brings hope that we can reduce the suffering of animals. This idea of developing a pet translator is receiving a lot of attention from both animal and technology lovers. Moreover, researchers are working with scientists to use AI (artificial intelligence) and machine learning to develop translation devices by using algorithms that remember different behaviors such as barking sounds, tail wagging, and facial expressions, and computing these pieces of information to translate them into English. The lessons learned from this study on prairie dogs can be applied to other animals such as cats or dogs.

Their language is so complex that it can be used to distinguish colors, shapes, or types of predators, such as humans, hawks, and wolves. He found that these animals have their own language consisting of different pitch levels that they use, for example, to warn each other when they sense danger from predators. However, animals still have their own specific language, and researchers are hoping that in the near future there will be a pet translator available that will help you convert animal languages into human language, so that we can understand them better.Ĭon Slobodchikoff, a researcher from Northern Arizona University in the US has studied communications between prairie dogs by using a small set of cameras and microphones harnessed on their bodies. Although we cannot always tell what they mean, the more time you spend with your pets and get used to each other, the easier it can become to understand them. If you have ever watched your pets closely, you might have noticed how they communicate with you using movements such as jumping and tail wagging, or making noises. Overall I think it’s a good app to have if your dog responds to the voice, if they don’t then there really is no point to have it.Dear animal lovers, pet translator devices are coming! When I saw that you could change the sound of the dogs’ voice I clicked it to see what it sounded like and realized that you have to pay to get a different dog voice? Which I think is a little unnecessary, but okay.😕 But I think my dog already REALLY understand me just talking to her normally so that may be why she doesn’t respond to the app, but who knows cause we got her only 5 months ago.😔 So definitely only works on some dogs, not all. I saw some reviews that said they would type sit and their dog would sit, so I tried that and my dog didn’t do anything. When I first got this app,I obviously tried it on my dog but she didn’t respond or anything. Some of those pictures didn’t even make sense though, well, at least I couldn’t understand it.😄 Before this app I found another that you could only press buttons with little pictures on. I love the idea of the app and how you choose what you want to say to your dog.
