Your smartphone is the most powerful tool in your dog training kit. From finding a walker to saving a life, there is an app for everything.
Here are the 3 apps you should install right now.
1. Dogo (For Training)
If you don’t have the budget for a private trainer, Dogo is a game-changer. It gamifies the training process with over 100 tricks and commands. You can record a video of your dog doing a trick, and their certified trainers will review it within 24 hours to give you feedback. It’s like having a trainer in your pocket.
2. Rover (For Walking & Sitting)
Think of this as the “Uber for Dogs.” Whether you are stuck at work late or planning a vacation, Rover connects you with vetted local dog walkers and sitters. You get photo updates and GPS tracking of their walks, so you never have to worry if Fido got his exercise.
3. Pet First Aid (By American Red Cross)
This is an app we hope you never have to use, but you must have. It gives you instant, step-by-step instructions for emergencies—from allergic reactions to choking. It also helps you locate the nearest emergency vet hospital based on your GPS location.
Conclusion Technology makes pet parenting easier. Download these three today, and you will be prepared for fun, travel, and emergencies.
