Simply attach the [bark-sensor collar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fi-series-3-plus) around your pets neck and use the wireless controller to decipher its barks. Perfect if you want to know when your puppy needs to go potty. **Implications** - With [communication technologies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/babelphone) allowing consumers to converse at opposite ends of the globe, not being able to understand a pet seems negligent.
