Abstract
We describe how we trained two dogs to perform precise gestures to be sensed from an inertial measurement unit worn on a dog's collar as part of a larger research effort. These gestures could then be used to relay specific alerts to humans through a companion smartphone application. For example, a guide dog could use a set of two gestures to alert between obstacles requiring a human to 'wait' or 'go around'.
