Automated Dog Agility Course From Canine Innovation founder Alexandra Smith
In this episode I’m talking with Alexandra Smith who is developing a new tool to provide physical and mental exercise to dogs. Her automated agility course will make these kinds of enrichment activities accessible to people with mobility issues or those who don’t have time to be home with their dog as much as they’d like. I loved hearing how Alexandra came up with the idea for this Canine Innovation and leap into action getting a patent, doing a pitch competition and partnering with researchers and experts in canine cognition. The automated agility course is currently seeking doggy day cares as beta testers so the backend can gather data from a variety of dogs and doggy care givers. Could a product like this make agility more accessible? Could it make dogs happier and more fulfilled? Alexandra definitely has an amazing idea here and it’s exciting to hear about it in the early stages. Plus, have you heard about the Cat and Dog Bill of Rights under consideration in California? We touch on that towards the end of the interview.
