Puppies are great. They’re also a little dumb and generally exhausting. This little blue robotic dog approaches the arrangement somewhat differently. It arrives knowing how to walk, bark, sit, stand, and dance, and even offers young owners the opportunity to teach it a few tricks of their own.

Using the included remote control, children can direct the puppy’s movements and activate its playful routines, accompanied by sound effects and expressive LED eyes. In Gesture Mode, the dog responds to hand movements, while Adventure Mode lets it explore a room independently. Six special treat-shaped programming keys allow children to arrange sequences of movements, introducing basic programming concepts through the familiar business of training a pet.

A rechargeable battery keeps the puppy ready for another round of entertainment, with a USB charging cable included. Suitable for children ages three and older, it’s an engaging little companion whose obedience is rather impressive, even if its understanding of fetch remains slightly robotic.
