The Dog Whisperer (3D and 2D Printed)

How to teach your dog to do his needs in the litter instead of the your bedroom?

Many think that they do so by punishing them, however that only ampliefies the inverse action. By pets don’t understand punishment they way humans do, so they would think that they have to hide when they want to pee, so they would choose the most unpredictable and hidden places.

The Right way to train your beloved pet, is by rewarding them.

The following pet feeder will teach and train your dog to relieve himself in the litter.

How it works? 

The dog feeder, works as a substitute to the human, when this one is busy. 

Every day, at 7am sharp, it provides food to your puppy instead of you, all you have to do is make sure that it is full. 

But the magic about is, is that is set to give a snack to reward you pet every time, this last one, releases himself in the right place ( the litter in our case).

More specifically? 

Every day at 7am, the continuous servo motor makes turns to allow the wheel to provide the usual amount that the pet is used to have. 

But this Pet feeder is connected to a humidity detector, and every time this detector detects humidity, it send a signal to the servo motor, which makes it and hence provides food. 

How the pet is going to know? 

Well the feeder isn’t placed far away form its litter, it has to be placed within an foreseeable area, that way, the human’s best friend can make the connection. 

When it keeps on repeating the action, he will learn, that that’s the right place to pee.
