Treat & Repeat
Five-minute sessions. Tap Yes or Miss on each try, and the app tells you when to make it easier, when to stop, and when your dog is ready for the next step, the way a trainer would.
Before and after
Illustrated with the sample dog from the demo. You count pulls with the walk log, so your own before and after is real numbers.
