ONNi is an autonomous dog toy meant to be your canine’s companion when you’re away from home.
Studies show that the simple sound of the owner’s voice is enough to reduce stress levels in dogs with separation anxiety, so we included built in speakers that would allow owners to play custom audio clips when they’re away from their dogs.
Audio clips can be recorded and uploaded to the device through the ONNi app. The app allows access to other features including choosing ONNi’s mannerisms, audio play, and activity time as well as the option to get a live look at what its front camera is seeing in case you get a little separation anxiety yourself.
