Pet products that have emerged as dogs spend more time alone focus on control and monitoring by their owners. However, a human-centered environment can overstimulate a dog's senses, causing stress and limiting their activity, which can lead to emotional and behavioral problems that must be prevented. This project is centered on the daily routine of dogs and consists of three modules: feed, lighting, and sleep. Based on Skinner's reinforcement theory, the design allows dogs to respond and learn on their own according to their environment and complete their routine once the owner sets the routine conditions. Each module considers the sensory characteristics and expression methods of dogs, proposing an environment that supports their autonomous lives. The design concept is based on a universe where planets move autonomously along their own orbits, conveying the message that the dog's routine should be maintained autonomously and stably. The three modules visually represent the shapes of 'Orbit,' 'UFO,' and 'Blackhole,' respectively, and use blue and yellow tones that dogs can perceive to enhance responsiveness.
