Hey dog nerds / makers. I was surprised to find there isn’t a commercial option out there for detecting when a dog is doing a dump. For my pup at least an acellerometer that shows he is motionless and at an angle between standing and sitting should be a pretty good predictor of pooing behavior. I saw some blogs about a guy building something like this in 2014 but nothing further. An old smartwatch seems like a good place to start with this. Any suggestions for an app or way to script this on a galaxy watch? I’m not a coder, but curious to hear some thoughts on this.

    How is this better than going with your dog while they’re outside or watching them on a camera? Are you planning some kind of geotagging so you don’t miss a soft landmine?
