A DOG-OPERATED WASHING MACHINE FOR THE DISABLED

 
  • The ‘Woof to Wash’ enables specially trained dogs to unlock the machine with a bespoke footpad and start it with a simple WOOF.
  • A doggy footpad and a microphone system have been added which recognise a dog’s bark
  • This means that dogs are able to unlock the machine by pressing the pad with their paw and pull a rope with their mouths to open it
  • Can then close the machine with their nose, before activating it by barking
  • Dogs were trained by the Support Dogs charity - which provides canine assistants for people with disabilities, epileptics and children with autism
