Smidge: Dog Training

Five minutes. That is the whole ask. Smidge teaches your dog one command at a time, in sessions short enough that you will actually do them. Watch a short clip, put the phone down, run the reps, mark it done. Most lessons take under a minute. WHY SHORT SESSIONS Dogs learn more from a few short sessions spread through the day than from one long one. That is not a productivity trick, it is the finding the whole app is built on, and it is why nothing here asks for half an hour. WHAT IS IN IT 29 commands and 101 lessons, each with its own clip. The foundations: Sit, Down, Stay, Come, Leave it, Drop it, Take it, Name, Paw, Place, Settle, Stand, Touch, Loose leash and Wait. The everyday ones: Watch, Heel, Off, Up, In, Fetch and Find it. And the ones that are just fun: Spin, Roll over, Bow, Back up, Middle, Chin rest and Quiet. SIX ARE FREE FOREVER Sit, Down, Leave it, Paw, Name and Come never cost anything and are not a trial. Come especially: a recall is the command that stops a dog running into a road, and that does not belong behind a price. HOW IT TEACHES Every method here is reward-based and follows LIMA and the Humane Hierarchy. Nothing in this app asks you to frighten, hurt, startle or physically force a dog, and no lesson puts your hands on a dog to make a behaviour happen. WHAT IT WILL NOT DO Biting, guarding food or objects, reactivity to dogs or people, and distress at being left alone are not training problems with app-sized answers. Smidge asks about them up front and routes you to a certified professional instead of teaching them. That routing is free and it does not unlock later. Smidge is training guidance. It is not veterinary care and not behavioural treatment. You know your dog and this app does not. NO ACCOUNT, NO NAG There is nothing to sign up for. Your dog's name and your progress stay on your phone. No streak guilt, no countdown timers, and nothing pre-ticked anywhere.
