Two honest answers. Bark detection (is this a dog bark?) is measured — recalibrated on real field recordings. Emotion is harder: we measure it against a real labelled dataset, and the energy/arousal signal is weak-but-real, while the positive-vs-negative read is still close to a guess. So treat emotions as an informational acoustic estimate, not a clinical diagnosis — and your feedback improves it over time.
Bark detection analyses acoustic features (pitch, rate, harmonics-to-noise) present across all breeds. The emotion model has so far been measured on two breeds (husky and shiba), so for other breeds emotion readings lean on breed-relative acoustic rules and should be treated as estimates. Detection works regardless of breed.
Silence detection tracks quiet periods too — useful for separation monitoring. You can also upload an existing clip instead of recording live.
