How far to trust it

The thresholds come from published bark, growl and whine studies: low, rough, tightly spaced sounds go with threat; high, clear, spaced ones with wanting company or play. Even research software sorting barks by situation is right roughly 40 to 70% of the time, and dogs differ, so treat each reading as a best guess and check ears, tail and posture.
