Could you build this?
Yes On-device audio classification can use pretrained sound models, and the rest (recording playback, scheduling, clip capture, report cards) is standard mobile app work that a solo builder can assemble with AI help.
What it would actually take: Use a pretrained audio model such as YAMNet or a small CNN converted to Core ML or TFLite, run on-device to flag barks, howls, and whimpers from a continuous mic stream. Add scheduled playback of the owner's recorded voice, a local clip buffer, and a reporting dashboard. Accuracy in noisy homes may need some fine-tuning on labeled dog audio, which is a modest ML task.
