Nice, I guess author does not have a kids yet. It is fun to teach 1 year old howto use phone. edit: author has a kid, congrats

If you look closely in the background of that video, you'll see a Mamaroo. She's only four months, so for the time being the dog is way more trainable.

Curious, have you read anything / have any concerns about introducing your kids to screens that early? I'm so afraid I'm rewiring her brain too young when I see her staring at my phone.

Pretty cool! Soon you can teach her to text you when your dryer finishes its cycle (;

That was an awesome project using pretty much the same tech! For those who haven't seen it:

Is there any evidence the Dog is actually aware that he's "texting (or otherwise sending) a selfie" -- or even knows what a selfie is -- in any meaningful sense?

"How I taught my dog to thwack his paw on a big red button in response to a keyword signal" might be a better title.
