Every dog should have a man of his own. There is nothing like a well-behaved person around the house to spread the dog's blanket for him, or bring him his supper when he comes home man-tired at night.

In training the Giant Galoot we have employed a technological solution (of course), consisting of a
Raspberry Pi Zero W connected to a
small camera and a power supply.

| Small Pi, small camera! |
The Pi is programmed to switch on a video stream and then we retreat to a safe distance (e.g. back to bed with breakfast) and watch what we call "Dog TV". It might be
a little bit boring by some standards, but it allows us to growl at the Gargantuan Mop when she moves from her bed. She looks around in bewilderment ("How do they know??") and then settles back down.
Using this method we have been able to stretch out a session to over an hour of her sitting faithfully on her bed. Thanks Raspberry Pi and nerdy goodness.
