Pupford: Dog & Puppy Training

I adopted an older dog who only knew the sit command. Using the Pupford app, Zak George's training techniques and patience, my pup now loves learning! He knows sit, stay, come, lie down, leave it, stand and shake, is potty and crate trained. He has more to learn, but he's doing great and we both are enjoying the process! Patience, repetition and pacing are key and the app reminds you of this. An old dog can learn new tricks! Lots of great free content. Highly recommend.

It's a great app, easy to use and attractive interface. The videos are great and simple to understand. My puppy is learning everything in the first try itself. However, the videos lag a bit and I can't drag them forward without the video being stuck for a few minutes at a time.

So happy to have an app for this now! I signed up on the website for the emails a little while ago but was not staying on top of the daily training. Now that I have the app it's all in one convenient place that I can check and tick off daily! I also love that you can search by behavior. This doesn't take away from the app, but my Pixel 3 doesn't show a cute custom icon for some reason.

I love the 30 day perfect pup calendar and that I can easily go back and work harder on behaviors and basic commands that my pup doesn't quite have down yet. Makes downloading the app worth it! I will say it's a little full of their advertising, but it's a free app so fair enough! It'd be cool if they added some additional features like a clicker on the app and setting your own schedule for notifications.

I was feeling overwhelmed trying to train a new dog and my partners dog at the same time. This app has been super great at teaching me the basics on training so far in an easy way for both me and the pups to understand. My dogs are such good dogs, but easily excitable and can be a handful. This app and training process helps me channel that energy in constructive ways and increases our bond and understanding. My only note is that I would LOVE to see a way to track multiple dogs' progress.

Overall great app with helpful content. I like being able to see the products in the shop. I've been using the socialization sounds from day 1 and following the training modules. My only complains are that it will randomly stop responding and close and the training section is a little hard to find where you left off.

I've been using the app for a couple weeks, using the 30-day training course and purchasing essentials. The information is helpful, even if you don't pay for academy access. However, like everyone else here, I have issue with the videos. There is a written description of the video content, which helps to a point, but it does not include everything so you can't bypass the video. It's pretty frustrating when you're mid-training with your pup!

Started great, but then... Felt really good about the app the 1st couple times I used it. But today, app keeps crashing anytime I try to play a video. I've cleared my phones cache, I've tried force stopping the app, I've tried uninstalling & reinstalling the app (a couple different times) but still no avail. I was so looking forward to using this to help train my adoptee dog! Now l have to spend who knows how much time scouring the internet for training videos (again). 😤

So far the app has been great. Looks like it is full of gold information and I have not had issues playing videos or downloading attachments. One annoyance is the addition sound library is not included with the Pupford Academy Membership. It is an additional fee built into the app but I feel it is deceptive when I paid for my membership. After latest update the app crashes a lot and is very buggy. Hopefully this can be fixed.

Good resource. Would like the ability to back up and edit the information when setting up the training path as I made mistakes and was completely kicked out and I didn't get to finish the customization. Additionally being able to add multiple pets to track their progress would be beneficial and make the longevity of this app even better.

Would give five stars, cause the app in general is good. However, like many other reviewers, I have many issues with getting videos to consistently play. They usually black out or get stuck and stop playing. Closing the app and reopening fixes it, but having to do it 3-10 times for one video is a bit much. If the videos get fixed, will be close to perfect!

I've noticed a few things that don't sit well with me First off the sm, med. And LG options are all the exact same thing but they're charging more I've placed a few orders and something has been wrong with every single one! I've had missing items, open items and they want you to pay $30+ for shipping If you use a discount code they add it all back in taxes and fees so what's the point I feel like I'm being taken advantage of and they don't really care about their customers! IVE VERY DISSATISFIED

The videos are great, and very helpful and easy to understand. My puppy picked up training so fast with these methods, but patience is key to any training process. The only thing I don't like is how the videos repeat each day, so for 3 days you watch the same video. I think it would be better if the first video was shorter, and each day add more onto the video, instead of having a multiple part video each day. But the content itself is worthwile!

Great free resource! The only issue i have is playing/pausing the video. It doesnt seem to respond well to tapping in the middle of the video and requires tapping in the lower left which is a hard to hit target. I did notice that sequential days use the same video instead of progressive videos but it was free, so how much can i really demand? I have one suggestion for the developers though, could you add a way to track the progress of multiple pups?

Love this guy! So far so good. I love that it takes it step by step and really breaks down the processes per skill! It's been so helpful with my baby. I feel confident that through this app I will have a well trained pup. After reading the reviews I remembered the videos really don't work very well! They will pause as if to buffer and never start again. It worked perfect the first time I opened it but since I haven't been able to watch a full video. It'd also be nice to have a short skip option

Great content, but app is nearly unusable due to video lag. I would love to give this app 5 stars, but the videos take forever to load and then have to stop and buffer multiple times in the middle. I thought maybe it was my connection, but this is the only app where I have trouble getting videos to load. Youtube for example has no video lag issues. This leads me to believe there is a problem with the app. If not for this, I would give 5 stars because there is tons of value potential here.

Love having an app where I can follow training day by day. The only problem I find is that the videos often freeze throughout. I don't know if this is just a problem with my phone or with the app, but it makes it hard when you have to be pausing mid training to wait for the video to load 😅. This aside, it's a great app 👍.
