As Americans return to the office, and want to keep tabs—or a tight leash—on their pets, they’re using their security cameras and speakers to scold, comfort and manage from afar. ⁠

The top offense for dogs, according to a survey of 1,000 pet owners commissioned by Amazon-owned Ring in April, is getting into the garbage. For cats, it’s scratching furniture.⁠

Owners can use the two-way audio on these types of cameras to stop their pets’ misbehavior. The cameras have smartphone apps that let people check in from the office or the other side of the globe. Two-thirds of dog and cat owners say they’ve been able to successfully intervene, according to the Ring survey.⁠

When Moira OConnell Gregoire is at work, her bernedoodle Talulah is in the backyard, where her owner monitors her from one of three outdoor cameras. Whenever she gets notified that someone has opened a gate to get to her front door, she checks on Talulah and tells her not to bark. The dog stops barking immediately when she hears her owner’s voice. ⁠

Pet owners are going about their camera-talking all wrong, says Julie Rops, a certified professional dog trainer.⁠

Telling your dog to quit barking or garbage-diving may stop the action in the moment, but it actually reinforces the behavior. “The attention itself is the reward,” Rops says. “Bad attention is still attention.”⁠

Instead, she advises pet owners to talk to their pets through cameras when they’re behaving well. ⁠
