摘要： Devices, systems and methods for animal training, animal feeding, animal management, animal fitness, monitoring and managing animal food intake, remote animal engagement, behavioral training and animal entertainment are disclosed. Embodiments of the present invention provide devices, systems and methods for measuring a dog's energy expenditures and/or movements, and providing signals to the dog to engage in activities or games to earn food. In one aspect, one or more of the dog's activity level, age, weight, body mass, and/or other health information is utilized to determine an appropriate food intake level for the dog. By measuring the dog's activity, the amount of calories the dog needs and/or has utilized may be determined. By encouraging activity by the dog, the dog's health may improve, even if the dog's weight remains unchanged. Among other embodiments disclosed herein, various mechanisms capable of moderating animal noise and/or behavior are disclosed.
