I think they are going to have to get alot more accurate before I shell out for it. I think as we bond with out dogs and spend time with them we are able to distinguish their barks. I can tell what hungry, outside and someone's here sounds like for all 6 of mine. That’s quite interesting. I think they are going to have to get alot more accurate before I shell out for it.

I can not discern the same number of variations as tested in the study. I know fear or stranger approaching. I also not play but that is about it. However I am not sure the study proved much of anything. At 43% you can get better results by tossing a coin. The results could just be luck. While intuitively I agree with the premise. There is no question dogs' bark change with a given situation. do not think the study showed the conclusion they claim. They need to work on their program.

I can usually pick each of my dogs' barks out but sometimes i get them confused... would be interesting to find what a computer has to say about barks. I definitely know that different barks mean different things. Levi barks at the fridge top when he wants the treats up there! That is pretty interesting!

I'm not sure how that is useful but it is a good reminder how dogs have several different kinds of barks and that their sounds do mean something. Of course, most of their communication is through energy and body language. Sometimes I think humans put too much emphasis on animals' verbal communication just because that is what we rely on.
