The dog training app
the books would build.
No shock collar. No $3,000 trainer. Free for 7 days.
Three things, every day.
The app picks tonight's lesson.
Pick 3 problems you want to fix. We schedule the lessons. You just open the app at 6 PM.
Rough session? Lessons go back.
Tap "rough session" and the lesson drops back. The app names what went wrong in plain English.
Whistles and clicks. No shock collar.
Every sound you'd find on a shock collar, built into the app instead. One tap, always there.
7 days free. $89/year. Or free forever.

We're a daily routine.
Pupford is curriculum. Puppr is tricks. Dogo has a routine but no drop-back. And none of them hand you proof of the work. Pupgrade is the only one that tells you what to train tonight, then gives you a downloadable, color-coded record of every day you showed up. Here's the math:
