HushPuppy ™ is a supereasy way to train dog excessive barking behavior. Put it on your puppies. Click button to select working mode. And just like that, your naughty puppies are on their way of behavior feedback training , which is AI-powered smart, safe and hustle free.
Ingeniously designed with the foundational principles of physiology — Pavlovian behavior conditioning, HushPuppy™ gently guides your furry little ones to overcome excessive barking.
It achieves this by emitting a harmless, mild battery static stimulus upon detecting barking. Through consistent repetition, your dog forms a positive association , learning to quiet down upon hearing or feeling the stimulus. Unlike other products on the market, we do not provide the option to adjust electricity levels. This ensures that the stimulus remains at the gentle strength we designed. In simpler terms, we aim to prevent it from reaching a level of electricity that could shock and harm dogs.
HushPuppy™ distinguishes itself in the market through the implementation of Tiny AI models designed for edge computing. These tiny AI models are tailored for resource-constrained settings, specifically on a 32-bit microcontroller chip with limited memory, accommodating each of our models under 100KB in size with less than 50K parameters in scale.
One of our Tiny AI models specializes in soundprint detection, allowing for precise differentiation between dog barks and other common domestic and outdoor noises like alarms, bells, laughter, people screaming, door slamming, car horns, and other sounds easily cause false triggering on traditional collars. We have achieved an impressive accuracy rate of 99.1%, which is the cornerstone in building the Pavlovian behavior conditioning loop. With the flawless classical conditioning loop in place, dog training becomes unprecedentedly straightforward and consistent.
Safety Stands Foremost for HushPuppy. We use AAA battery to power HushPuppy™ because of the limited energy content ensures safty for your beloved dogs, minimizing electrical hazards.
Conductive silicone gel is soft on the skin, offers a finely-tuned and consistent stimulus that’s gentle yet noticeable for dogs. By completely removing exterior metal components, we eliminate potential allergenic reactions, cold surfaces, and sharp edges.
Our advanced AI takes charge of intricate settings and choices, allowing you to easily switch between training mode and warning mode with just a single central button press. The circular LED light intuitively displays the mode, operational status, and battery life. This design simplifies its use.
Switch modes by long-pressing the central button then release.
Warning mode (WhiteLED) : vibration and beeps only.
Training mode (Blue LED) : static stimulus, vibration and beeps.
Listening (Neon LED) : wakup by sounds. AI model is inferening.
Lack of power (Red dot) : AAA battery is about to run out soon.
HushPuppy™ is equipped with an IP57 rating, guaranteeing protection against dust and temporary water immersion.
Using our Adaptive Sound Detection (ASD) and High Precision Computational Audio (HPCA) technology, we excel at pinpointing a dog’s bark, even in noisy surroundings. Furthermore, our state-of-the-art Near-Field Sound Filter (NFSF) technology ensures that the collar won’t easily captures a dog’s bark more than 5-foot away (considering the dog’s bark not more than 85dB in volume).
Our machine is designed without a traditional power button. Instead, we use a sophisticated sound-wakeup algorithm on our smart microphone. Once a dog bark is detected, the device springs into action. In periods when no barking is detected, the system efficiently switches to a low-energy standby mode, ensuring minimal power consumption. As a result, users can expect an impressive battery lifespan, with up to 300 days of endurance in pure standby scenarios. Even under regular, day-to-day usage conditions, our device delivers a commendable 21 days of performance.
***Creator’s Note:
After the launch of our Kickstarter, within the first week, we sent demo samples produced by our testing pipeline to some beta users and influential reviewers. Ms. R, a professional dog trainer, was among the first to receive our product ( in size small ), and she gave a positive review of its performance! I am delighted to share this with everyone.
I will keep update feedbacks from who received our demo samples.
