ii. Activity - The Bark & Activity Counter tracks the amount of
activity of your dog during a session. This information is not
recorded step by step, but is tracked consistently per session.
Barking does not necessarily mean that activity should also be
present in the data. Smaller dogs will typically produce higher
activity levels than medium to large sized dogs due to their
paces. In order to obtain an average sample size of movement
for your dog, record a session while you are at home with him/
her so that you are able to monitor your dog’s behavior activity
and compare it to your data.
