The ‘Woof to Wash’ enables specially trained dogs to unlock the machine with a bespoke footpad and start it with a simple woof. A doggy footpad and a microphone system have been added which recognise a dog’s bark. This means that dogs are able to unlock the machine by pressing the pad with their paw and pull a rope with their mouths to open it.
Can then close the machine with their nose, before activating it by barking. Dogs were trained by the Support Dogs charity – which provides canine assistants for people with disabilities, epileptics and children with autism.
