Train, coaching companion for trick, skill and sport training 🐾
From spins to scent work. Define your goals. Log your sessions. See what's actually improving — and what isn't.
If you care about the craft of dog training, Train is for you.
A training log that works as hard as you do
Most trainers keep notes in their head — or not at all. Train gives you a structured place to capture what matters: your session goals, your training environment, your reward effectiveness, your own handler state. When you log consistently, patterns emerge that you'd never spot from memory alone.
Personalised to your dog — not someone else's
Train doesn't hand you a generic programme. Before you start, it asks about your dog's current skill level, your training schedule, your usual environment, and what motivates your dog most. Your plan is built from those answers — and adjusts as your dog progresses.
Feedback on your actual technique (experimental)
Upload a video of your session and receive a detailed breakdown of your training mechanics: reward timing, cue clarity, body language, and more — with a specific, actionable suggestion for your most impactful area of improvement. Not generic advice. Feedback on your session. Your mechanics. Your specific reps.
This feature is in early access. Results are good — not perfect. We're improving it with every release.
Built on science, not fads
Instructions and feedback are built on how dogs actually acquire skills: capturing, luring and shaping, splitting criteria into achievable steps, building fluency, then generalising to new places. Reward-based throughout.
How it works
-
Before you begin, Train asks the right questions: How many days per week can you commit? What's your dog's current skill level? What motivates your dog? Your plan is structured around your schedule and your dog's starting point — not a generic curriculum.
-
Train is built around the practice loop — not passive content consumption. The plan gives you a number of sessions to complete. Every feature is designed to make your sessions more intentional, your observations more consistent, and your progress more visible.
-
Before each session, set your goal and your success criteria. After, log what you observed: your dog's energy, reward effectiveness, and your own handler assessment. Over time, patterns emerge that you'd never spot from memory alone.
-
Upload a short video and receive a breakdown of your technique: reward timing, cue clarity, body language, spatial pressure, and session pacing — with specific, actionable suggestions. Feedback on your session. Your dog. Your specific reps.

-
Track your weekly success rate, handler scores over time, and your dog's skills progressing from early learning through to reliable, generalised behaviour.
If you care about the craft of dog training — not just the outcome — Train is for you.

100% positive reinforcement, grounded in behavioral science. We focus on reward-based methods that build trust and teach your dog to want to work with you.
-
Train works for dogs of all ages, with plans designed around developmental stages and age-appropriate session lengths.
-
The session video analysis is automated — which means it's available any time you train, not just when you can afford a lesson. It's designed around the same framework a science-based professional trainer would use. You can think of it as having a coaching framework in your pocket.
Just remember, this feature is still experimental.

No! And we'd rather say so upfront. Train is built for teaching skills: tricks, foundation behaviours, sport and titling work. Behaviour problems like reactivity, separation anxiety, resource guarding and aggression need an individual assessment of your dog and their environment — that's the work of a qualified trainer, behaviour consultant or veterinary behaviourist, and no app should be standing in for it.
However, you can work with a behaviour professional to work on behaviour modification and use Train for the fun stuff alongside it. That combination works well.
