Even dogs benefiting from wearable tech!

 Humans are not the only ones benefiting from todays booming wearable technologies industry. The Canine remote control lets you walk your dog hands-free from a computer.
A Dog can be your best friend, he listens to your commands and is faithful to you all your life. Not being able to walk him  might jeopardize your relationship. So what if the weather is really bad or you do not feel like taking your dog for a walk? Thanks to a pair of Auburn University researchers named Jeff Miller and David Bevly, you may soon be able to control your K-9 remotely from your computer.


So how does this technology work? 
All you have to do is strap a backpack system remote control system around your dog. Included in this pack is a wireless radio for communication, a GPS for location and command modules to relay instructions via sound and vibrations. While you are sitting all conformable on your couch your dog can go have his daily walk safely while acting appropriately. (does not pee on your neighbors lawn)
The Canine remote control was tested on trained search and rescue dogs and is 98 percent of the time effective. This technology will also allow trained dogs to search at dangerous environments for humans.
