Love the graphics. Been using to track new puppy potty training schedule. There is a small glitch where if you select the date, it shows the day before (i.e. selected 3/18/22, shows 3/17/22). The clock is not very intuitive when logging time because of how the military time is placed. It would be good if you made it outer clock circle 1-12, inner clock circle 13-00 if that makes sense. Last suggestion I have is to have a filter function on the calendar, that'd be helpful to visualize trends.

I like the app and that it is set up with daily exercises . However I am doing the impulse control class and the exercises are random. I am on day 4 and it is having us do a down w30 sec stay ( down 3), but it hasn't even taught down yet. It's not teaching the basics and building, it's is generating 3 random exercises from the set of 17. I would like to keep the model of dailey exercises and games and have it build from intro to expert.

Downloaded this app for training, couldn't access a single program without having the sign up for a free trial or pay a subscription, i knew there were subscriptions but though there was basic free programs. 😬 The only free stuff are things you can do yourself. I wish you could try one or two programs (without having to free trial it) to see how you like the app, before committing.

I'm having a lot of fun teaching Mozart new tricks in a very easy and convenient way. What I'm really enjoying is the social aspect of this app. Posting photos of your pup could win you prizes like a coupon for free toys and snacks. It's such a interesting way of interacting with your furry friend. It's kinda like an Instagram for dogs... Just a lot better. I think what would be really cool, is if we added checkmarks or something for mastered commands. We could use the social aspect of the app to post a photo of the dog who completed a trick. Maybe add a leaderboard system of some sort. Maybe that's a bit too competitive lol

Misleading from the get go. First, I have nothing against the subscription business model. It makes sense for a lot of businesses. In fact, it even makes sense in this application! But, the misleading part here is that there are two tiers, useless app with no functionality beyond begging you to sign up for the Premium free trial and the Premium subscription. This app has no free features, which is fine, but they should be up front about that and stop parading as a free app with in app purchases.

Its a fun app, but it could be better to be more effective - the clicking needs to be louder and more realistic. I have to add an external bridge, making the app clicker useless. Cost - $110/yr is too expensive for an impersonal app. Trainer feedback is already given in the free version, and that's the only personal aspect. Suggestions/improvements - allow users to record without having to hold down the button. Improve social aspect of the app. I can invite friends, but not share their journey.

I like that it reminds me to do training games with my dog, but it has some quirks. For example, of I am at the end of one training exercise and open another, the new one opens at the end of the exercise instead of the beginning. I like the training techniques though and that I can track which ones to revisit later. Some techniques are different from the way I do things, but I just adjust my style for those. They are small differences.

Very pleased so far. Have used only for a few weeks. Tempted to give 5 stars, but I am a tough grader. Maybe after more time. Love the incremental approach of training each skill for very short intervals. Video guidance is very helpful; especially the added tips. We are definitely seeing progress in the couple of exercises we have started. Looking forward to more great results.

The app can be a bit confusing at times. I have a hard time staying on track. Mabye try adding a schedule feature to ensure optimal results for the type of training you are looking for. Other than that it's been a major help. IV gotten loads of useful tips and helpful training stadagy that would could be er have figured out by myself. I definitely recommend it to anyone looking to train.

Directions are clear. You can't skip exercises that are already mastered. While the exercises aren't required to be done in a certain order, the next level are locked until the base is "completed". Different programs feature the same modules, but the modules aren't connected so the same exercise must be "taught" twice or more. Circles back to locked variations. Reminders are "on/off" not "set time" so it goes off at 10pm when I'm in bed.

Great so far! Especially for an new puppy or a dog with little training. My girl is more advanced with some of the basics, but this app also has great tips for struggles and games too. A lot of it is free for things like basic lessons, a few activities, and even troubleshooting for if you or your pup are having trouble. I do wish that there was a one time price for just the lessons instead of a subscription. The wording is a weird on some of the steps. Other than that fantastic!

Has a lot of potential for an affordable price, but the app is underdeveloped. My primary complaint is that you can't set up notifications the way you want/need, with the exception of potty training. Notifications are either all on or all off. This translates into a reminder every 30 mins to an hour to do some random training. A dog needs to complete the first set of trainings before they can do the second, so being reminded about the second isn't helpful and is, ultimately, annoying.

It is a wonderful app. Now if the app have some training video for visual learners that would be great or guest speakers, articles, dog treat recipes, and more. My favorite part is how interactive the app; for example, the different competitions, games, and tricks. My only issue is that that the app used to have an option for a lifetime membership. I tried to sign up for it again and I did not see it anymore.

So far I'm really enjoying the app, the training sessions are well designed, and the video examples are very helpful. I'm giving it a 4 because some features are missing: - Dark mode: Potty Training is already challenging with the sleep deprivation, and getting flashed by the app does not help. - The potty schedule it's a great tool, but it has potential: e.x. It should automatically calculate and show relevant information as "time since last pee", "average time in between the last X events"

If I could give 100 stars, I would! Dogo is exceptional! I have never experienced such a level of training engagement in a virtual environment before. They are literally a message away and if you can't afford a membership the free resources will most definitely change your furbaby's life forever! That's the most amazing aspect, that it is not a cash grab like other apps on the market. For me, it was a game changer. It fit in with my busy lifestyle like a glove. And it's so much fun, easy!

I could only set alarms, keep track of shots, weight and where my pup made messes for free. Each of which I could very easily do myself. I suggest that when allowing free downloads that something is offered to make you want to pay for the premium features. And not just that the app is functionally useless without. One free program to see what you'd get is all you need. You have to show new people that what you have to offer is of value and an alarm clock/calendar is not enough, in my opinion.

Love this app. I love how each lesson build on the previous ones to accomplish something bigger than the sum of its parts and I love that it reminds me to do daily training (yes, I opted in and choose the time and frequency). The only gap in our dog training journey is that life gets in the way. However, the app gives me a training plan, demonstrates what each skill should look like, and even gives you the option of recording your dog and have a trainer review their demonstration of a skill.

I bought this app on a whim, and I actually don't regret it. I have an older dog (8 yrs old) and he was never properly potty trained and it made life so much harder cuz I had to factor in cleaning up pee every time I left the house. This app made housebreaking my dog so easy! And as someone who needs constant reminders, that is a great feature as well. If I had any critique, it would be to allow 30 minute increments to the reminder notifications, but that's a small one, all things considering

So far it has been a great experience. The lesson layout makes it easy to tackle for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the idea of training. Biggest con: My wife and I share this and the reminders don't account for any potty logs she inputs, which results in constant inaccurate potty reminders. Very annoying. What's the point of sharing info?? If you want lifetime membership, you have to sign up for it in the beginning or the option disappears. Support denied this fact multiple times to me.

I don't mind paying for it, as I have used the lessons and games to teach my adult dog incrementally. He wasn't a bad dog before, but there were a few things I needed help on and this app walked me through step by step. The improvement is noticeable and equal to the amount of effort we put in. I am less impressed with the tracking portion of the app, mostly because I like my own calendar. I don't want to have to track things twice. But the app keeps prompting me for things like his weight.
