ABSTRACT
We present two case studies on creating wearables for dogs and discuss them in terms of challenges of safety, space, weight and comfort, that motivated them. You can use these case studies and our design process as a practical primer for designing wearables for working dogs.

Happy dogs and happy owners: using dog activity monitoring technology in everyday life
ACI '18: Proceedings of the Fifth International Conference on Animal-Computer InteractionToday, the markets are populated with dozens of devices for dog activity tracking and monitoring. Our aim was to get detailed insights on how dog owners use these devices in their everyday life. Two studies, an interview study with Finnish dog owners (N=...
Technology for working dogs
ACI '18: Proceedings of the Fifth International Conference on Animal-Computer InteractionWorking dogs can perform many tasks that improve the lives of humans. An explosion of new technologies in Animal-Computer Interaction enable dogs to assist in a variety of scenarios. Dogs can summon emergency services, report finding a lost child, ...
FIDO - facilitating interactions for dogs with occupations: wearable dog-activated interfaces
ISWC '13: Proceedings of the 2013 International Symposium on Wearable ComputersWorking dogs have improved the lives of thousands of people. However, communication between human and canine partners is currently limited. The main goal of the FIDO project is to research fundamental aspects of wearable technologies to support ...
