Original Abstract Submitted

one variation of a method includes: accessing an audio feed captured by an audio sensor integrated within a training apparatus deployed in an environment and configured to dispense units of a treat into a working field in the environment; detecting a bark event at a first time based on audible signals extracted from the audio feed; in response to detecting the bark event, based on environmental signals extracted from the audio feed, interpreting a set of environmental data representing conditions of the environment at the first time; selecting an intervention action, in a set of intervention actions, configured to mitigate the bark event; triggering the training apparatus to dispense units of the treat according to the intervention action; predicting an environmental trigger for the dog based on the bark event and the set of environmental data; and storing the environmental trigger in a dog profile generated for the dog.
