Google Home

[Pepper]

So we have a Google Home sitting in the corner of our snug which has been there since Pepper arrived.

We’ve used it every day and Pepper has shown no interest in it. Until today that is, when he’s decided to bark at it, and won’t be distracted from it.

It’s got to the point that we’ve had to move it out of the room. No big deal, but I’m totally at a loss as to why the sudden change?

Maybe he wants an Alexa to woof at instead?

He could be Apple through and through...

Does Monty prefer Apple then? ?

Showing my age....what is a Google home? It looks like a fancy salt shaker!

 

[Pepper]

It’s like an Amazon Alexa, one of those things you talk to and it plays music, answers your questions, turns the lights on, etc.

Monty should be grateful for own brand electronics, I regret the day I bought him a cheap tablet and gave him the Wi-Fi password. ?

Could you try turning the volume down low, and then treating him while he isn't barking, slowly turning the volume up over a few sessions?

Or just use it as an expensive paperweight ?

We’ll go back to basics and try using it with a pot of treats and see if that approach works! Of course, the cheeky little man could have worked this out already and knows he can get more treats this way! ?
