Dog apps for training and fun
Of course there are more apps, we chose only the ones for you that intrigued us the most. Have you tried an app or have you got a favourite one that you could recommend to others?
Dog baby monitor
Nowadays, you can connect with your dog or cat, even if you’re not home. It only takes two mobile devices with an internet connection, microphone and a camera or a classic camera. Usually a mobile phone for you and a tablet or a notebook for the pets at home. Then you just download the app called Dog baby monitor. It will notify you, when the dog starts being noisy, it can take photographs on the fly or record the whole situation. You can also use the option of voice transfer and shout at the dog if it misbehaves. You’ll find the app from Czech developers under the name Dog Monitor and it’s available in more languages.
Dog Health
In this application, you can save information about up to four pets (it don’t have to be dogs only). The phone will then remind you of drugs doses, vaccination, another visit to the veterinarian and the like. In addition, you’ll keep track of all the previous veterinary visits and of the used drugs. The app is available in English.
GoVet
In the life of a dog owner, there are sometimes situations, that require also an unscheduled visit to the veterinarian. The app GoVet or VetFinder brings a map of veterinary clinics and other function. Both apps allow you to browse the doctors’ offices not only according to the address, but also depending on the services offered and the opening hours.
Dog Training Clicker
If you don’t want to drag a clicker with you for walks or even buy it, then you can install it directly into your phone. The Dog Training Clicker app or I-Clicker are the right thing for animal lovers and digital technology enthusiasts at the same time. In addition, the handy app also brings you instructions how to use this training tool. The app is available in English.
Sound Proof Puppy Training
If your dog is afraid of a sound or you’ve got a puppy that you’re getting used to outside sounds, then this app can help you. It plays sounds that you can encounter in the street, such as sirens, smoke detectors, sounds of an airplane, sounds of a crying baby and the like. This way, you can familiarise the dog with the sounds and get it used to them in a controlled environment. You’ll also find tips and videos in the app. The app is in English.
