Fido is an interactive opportunity for dogs and their owners, providing greater incentive for the average dog lover to get more involved with their pooch. An advanced RFID chip embedded in a polybutadiene rubber ball allows the owner to track metrics directly tied to the basic dog training aspect of play. Using a digital interface, the owner has three modes of choice - chase, fetch, and tug. Within these modes, the owner can monitor distance, time intervals, and location of the ball. What's more, as each of these modes are completed as daily challenges, improvement can be tracked and rewarded as personal achievements for the owner.
