Depth, Growth, And Teamwork

Out of all the possible competitors that they have faced, I had used others but none nearly as detailed or in depth of explaining how it works or troubleshooting if something seems a miss. You get to also talk through a community to see similar issues and how they work through, or help with issues you may need more clarity or advice with. A wonderful work team ready to give help and explain how it may help, or what may be the problem and go in depth of that alongside of advice to help troubleshoot around the issues at hand. This would honestly be the first app i would recommend anyone for dog training.

Game Changer!

The simplicity and ease of the step by step training progression is invaluable. The videos and tips combined with the recommended training time instills the confidence that everyone in our family can successfully train our puppy.

I wish this app was available when we got our two older dogs. The new puppy is responding well to the training and our older dogs are benefiting too! You can teach an old dog new tricks by focusing on positive reinforcement.

As someone with a master’s degree in education, I know that reinforcing expected behavior is the right approach when teaching and reinforcing a new skill. Thank you, Gentle Beast.

Best training app for all ages

Gentle beast is an amazing resources for new and experienced dog owners alike. I had no idea where to begin with training my pups in basic obedience without using punishment and now felt competent in positive reinforcement techniques! It can be personalized to the needs of your dog and I’ve really benefited from the community piece, where I can ask questions about certain behaviors and get sound and helpful advice from professional dog trainers (and other dog owners!) couldn’t recommend this app more highly!!
