Furbo 360°'s new Real-Time Audio feature works a bit like FaceTime, allowing you to see, hear and speak to your dog all at the same time! This marks a change from the original Furbo Dog Camera's 2-Way Audio, which works more like a walkie-talkie. So what does this upgrade mean for your interactions with your pup? 

Verbal communication is extremely important when it comes to connecting with your pup. From tone, inflection, and word associations, your dog can understand what you’re trying to convey to them. With this in mind, you can reward your pup and associate their good behavior with your own vocal positivity. Warm communication like “good boy!” or “good girl!” can be as rewarding as a treat for your dog. In addition, a firmer tone allows you to get your dog to knock off bad behavior, even while you're out. 

Real-time audio also allows for a quicker response time. Instead of having to switch between speaking and listening, you have the opportunity to seamlessly communicate back and forth with your pup, and get a good sense of their howls, cries, or barks. This interaction and stimulation keeps you super-close to your pup throughout the day. This can be the perfect mid-day relaxant, or just what your pup needs for an extra zing of excitement during their day.

The updated audio feature works perfectly in tandem with treat tossing! Before you toss a treat, you can remind your pup that you’re around (and you’re watching). Try having your dog sit, stay, or lie down to earn their favorite treat before tossing it to them.
