Dogs already drive, (link) This canine controller would allow them to accelerate, brake, shift gears to drive through various on screen course challenges.

I'd have it drop a treat after various levels were successfully reached.

Addendum: This idea dedicated to Alfie. Good boy, may you rest in peace.

A video game controller version of this. https://x.com/Rainm...1927677430023569419

I think dogs get video games. https://www.youtube.../shorts/j2Dig9BHZ74

Video per se would not interest them; there would have to be smells.

(For some reason, autocorrect wanted "smells" to be "angels").

Hmm, maybe have them chasing an image of the treat that gets dispensed if they catch it? I think you’re right though, they’d need something to show them the payoff. I don't think saving the princess is gonna get them particularly motivated.

Off-topic, but, after a long and happy life, my dog died this morning. (That was a few hours after I posted the anno above). His heart wore out, and it was over in about two minutes.

That's awful. But at least you could give him the life he had. What was his name?

Sorry to put a dampener on this cheerful idea, [dr3]

On the contrary bro, see addendum.
