"The dog has a lot of false positives" Wow, just like my real dog!

Better false positives than a burglary I guess. Plus it's probably off when you're home... unless it's on at night as well. Anyway, improvements can be made, I'm fairly sure there's off-the-shelf "is this a person" detectors out there.

> The dog has a lot of false positives from the cameras being triggered by car headlights or small animals. To my dog, those are not false positives.

  The dog has eliminated 100% of threats so far. Pretty effective.

A sampling of things my lovable labrador has barked at over the last 48 hours: - Birds - Packages being delivered - My neighbor, who he knows well, working in their back yard - Me banging a door closed too hard - A neighborhood cat taunting him on the sidewalk - My kid dropping a toy on our hardwood - ??? (He was barking at a closet door) - Anytime I touch the hook where his leash hangs - etc. Still, love having his big bark around, even if when someone actually broke in he’d immediately befriend them.

  When it's really, really windy, my dog likes to stare out the window and bark at the trees for moving too much. (It took me a long time to even figure that one out.) At the same time, he likes it when trees drop little pieces of fruit or seeds, like mesquite beans or pine cones. So on windy days sometimes he gets into a loop with a tree where he * stiffens up and barks at a tree for shaking its leaves * cautiously approaches the tree, sometimes growling * snatches something the tree has just dropped and runs away with it * runs around in circles with the tree debris, pausing and play bowing wvery now and then, batting it around with his paws, etc. * ... cautiously approaches the tree again and so on, where he gradually gets bolder and more casual about approaching the rustling, swaying tree on each iteration. (He's pretty suspicious of wind-related movement generally— he'll also yell at flags and banners sometimes.)

    You must show him Lord Of The Rings - The Two Towers with the walking trees.
