CleverPet has electronic games for your dog

Remember Pavlov's Dog from your college psychology courses? Last night Fiona demonstrated another example of classical coditioning using CleverPet, a game console for dogs.

Fiona has learned that when she presses a set of lighted buttons in the proper sequence, a slot opens to deliver a small treat. "She's been well rewarded today," her handler said.

CleverPet is positioned as a brain exerciser for canines. It connects to Wi-Fi and can be programmed with games at different levels of difficulty. And, of course, there's an app to track the dog's progress.

Details are available at the CleverPet website where you can pre-order the device for $269.
