[NAGDU] [nagdu] New technology for guy dog users.

[Mike Rouillard]

I completely agree. This technology would be completely useless, especially
with the number of circumstances that cause our dog's heart rates to go up.

Wayne,
It wouldn't even be useful to first-time handlers. Most first-time handlers
have experience with pets, and even if you're like me and you never had a
single dog, it isn't hard to rely on the senses to understand how your dog
is feeling or what they need. And as I and Cindy said, there are a gamut of
situations and stimuli that cause an increase in heart rate and respiration.
It's not information that you can use to make a decision without the given
context and your dog's body language. There's no way to circumvent the
nonverbal aspect of language with these animals.
