The recent increase in single-person households and family income has led to an increase in the number of pet owners. However, due to the owners' difficulty to communicate with them for 24 hours, pets, and especially dogs, tend to display unwanted behavior that can be harmful to themselves and their environment when left alone. Therefore, detecting those behaviors when the owner is absent is necessary to suppress them and prevent any damage. In this paper, we propose a camera-based system that detects a set of normal and unwanted behaviors using deep learning algorithms to monitor dogs when left alone at home. The frames collected from the camera are arranged into sequences of RGB frames and their corresponding optical flow sequences, and then features are extracted from each data flow using pre-trained VGG-16 models. The extracted features from each sequence are concatenated and input to a bi-directional LSTM network that classifies the dog action into one of the targeted classes. The experimental results show that our method achieves a good performance exceeding 0.9 in precision, recall and f-1 score.
