"A dog can remain statistically normal for its breed while becoming abnormal for itself."

Barkley is an ethology-driven research lab building the next generation of canine behavioral intelligence. We move beyond population-level breed averages to focus on the only reference frame that truly matters: the individual dog's longitudinal baseline.

Most companion-animal health platforms operate as data warehouses, not intelligence layers. They collect biometrics but cannot surface the subtle, slow-moving behavioral drift that signals when a dog is no longer behaving like itself.

Barkley closes the gap between raw sensor data and behavioral intelligence by engineering the DogGraph — a multi-modal, temporal framework that maps behavioral signals against individual history, environmental context, and metabolic state.

• Individual-Centric Modeling — moving from "Is this dog normal?" to "Is this dog still this dog?"
• DogGraph Architecture — a temporal, graph-based approach to behavioral phenotyping
• Informative Absence Signaling — encoding the silence in data as a behavioral feature, not a technical failure
• Metabolic Fusion — integrating non-invasive metabolic monitoring with circadian behavioral bins

We've released the Precision Behavioral Intelligence Series (No. 01–08) and the Metabolic Series (No. 01). Our framework is built on:

• Ethological rigor — rooted in Tinbergen's Four Questions
• Algorithmic fairness — a commitment to individual cognitive sovereignty over breed stereotypes
• Safe execution — all public demonstrators use synthetic data to protect privacy and ensure research integrity

• 🧪 barkley-canine-cognition-lab — public research demonstrator. Individual baseline modeling, temporal drift detection, and the Missing Data Paradox, on synthetic data.
• 📄 Framework papers — the Behavioral Intelligence Series and Metabolic Series. Available on request.
• 🌐 getbarkley.com — waitlist + research updates.

We are in a high-execution phase and looking to connect with:

• Technical co-founders — engineers passionate about graph architecture, time-series analysis, and biosensor integration
• Strategic research partners — academic labs, veterinary networks, and longitudinal cohort studies interested in individual-centric behavioral phenotyping

Barkley is a research prototype. All public demonstrators use synthetic data. We do not provide veterinary or medical diagnosis.
