Does anyone have experience with having one of these robot dogs as a companion to a real dog? Could be useful for keeping the biodog happy.

- dade_ 5y agoI recall watching videos of interactions with dogs. Dogs seem to hate them, then ignore them. It seems they aren’t fooled, but I really enjoyed playing with one.
- rob74 5y agoMakes sense - after all dogs rely mostly on smell to identify other dogs, and the Aibo may look and behave more or less like a real dog, but it definitely doesn't smell like one...
- ctdonath 5y agoI have an original AIBO. Left it on its charger, off, for a prolonged period after getting a real dog. Once the new puppy had acclimated to his new home after a month, I turned AIBO on. O. M. G. New puppy freaked out. So badly I never turned it on again. Imagine how you would react if your chair just started wandering around by itself. Several dogs later, AIBO sits nearby - in want of a functioning battery. Anyone have pointers on finding original AIBO batteries?
- swiley 5y agoI don't know what they're called, but they have dog runs supervised by professionals where you can drop your dog off to socialize. You might consider one of those.
- lordnacho 5y agoDoggy day care is a thing. That's definitely something they enjoy, just wondering if a robodog would be useful.
