- Want to know the best app to train your dog
with positively and organization?
Well, in today's episode, I'm gonna reveal the top dog
training apps so you can train your dog daily.
Even when not at home.
Let's get out of here.
(upbeat music)
Hey, guys, and welcome to another episode of "Dingle Days."
Since my last video,
"The Best Dog Training Apps for the iPhone and Android,"
there's been a ton of interest to know
what else is out there to help automate
your dog training journey.
Recently, the founder of a new app called Pup to Date,
reached out to me and asked me to review their product,
which is a helpful tool to help you
organize your dog training.
I've been using the app for a little while now,
so I'll be talking about my Pup to Date experience
in three different parts.
Firstly, I'll be talking about Pup to Date, what it is,
why you should use it,
and what some of the main features of the app are.
Secondly, I'll show you some of the paid features
of Pup to Date and how you can use them
to supercharge your training.
And finally, I'll show you how I personally use
Pup to Date in my daily routine with Disney.
As usual, timestamps below or in a pinned comment,
so be sure to check those out.
And just as a note, this video is not sponsored,
but they did provide me a promo code to access
the full functionality of the app in order to provide
an honest review to my audience.
So what is Pup to Date?
If I had to describe it,
it's basically an app that helps you track the last time
you took your dog out for a potty break, fed them,
and it has built in functionality for reminders.
Studies have shown that sticking to a schedule
and using a positive training method
set you and your puppy up for a great life together.
This app aids you to do just that.
It's simple and it's easy to use.
It's been extremely helpful to help us
organize our daily routine.
There is a onetime 5.99 in app purchase to track
unlimited events to help keep their servers running, really.
So with that said, let's jump into the phone
and I'll highlight some of the awesome tools in Pup to Date.
So I'm gonna go ahead and show you my experience
with downloading the Pup to Date app
and getting everything set up.
So I'm just gonna open up the Pup to Date app.
It just says,
welcome, to use your Pup to Date tap here to continue.
It's also extremely important to use
positive training method, tap here if you agree.
Yes, I agree with positivity.
All right. So let's add your first training event.
First, choose an emoji to say what the event was.
For example, poop might be an obvious one.
You can even choose multiple emojis.
So that you can input, for instance,
just tap on the water icon.
When's the last time your pup drank some water?
Let's say 15 minutes ago,
you want to add a note, drank it all.
Drank it all, great, done.
And you can save that and then it immediately
gets added to your log.
So you know that for a fact that happened.
Or, let's say, your dog takes prescriptions,
let's say he took some 30 minutes ago, add a note.
No issues going down.
Sweet. And then you can save that as well.
It also has the ability to create notifications.
So, for instance, you can add something new,
let's say go for a walk.
Let's say daily at 11 o'clock, 11:05, why not?
Save.
So now that's in there and then you'll have a reminder set.
I've been using it for a little while now,
and it's just really, really simple way to document
your experience with your dog throughout the day.
I think it's especially useful,
I don't know if any of you all have children
in the audience out there, but I know when I was a new mom,
I would use an app to help track when's the last time
my infant had eaten his meals
or done his business or whatnot,
and the same is applicable, right, to your dog.
In the sense that if you had a puppy or something
and you really wanted to make sure everything was on track.
I mean, you can use it for adult dogs as well,
but your routine might be a little bit ingrained
at that point, and maybe they might be a little bit
more communicative and actually being able to share
what's going on.
And you might be a little bit more in tune to their needs.
By the way, if you enjoy the content we put on this channel,
now is a great time to smash that like button,
and let us know what you think about Pup to Date
in the comment section below.
And hey, once you're done with this video,
head over to our website and check out
the blog post as well.
It's an easy way to support the channel.
This is a very simple app to be able to track
your routine with your dog.
For instance, I got a few entries in here already.
Let's say great walk today at 6:30.
He ate a little bit at 8:52,
and he drank everything at 10:22.
So generally speaking, I'm able to document when I took him
for a walk, when he ate his food,
and when he drank a little bit of water.
If I wanted to input a new entry,
let's say we wanted to say when he went to sleep,
I would just tap on the Zs there.
And let's just say he went to sleep five minutes ago.
I could add a note, went down, no crying.
Oop, no crying.
Okay, let's say you had a puppy or something,
and save.
Great, so now you can just scroll through
there very easy.
Great walk, boom, boom, boom.
All right, so let's say you had a dog
that was on medication.
Let's say he had it 15 minutes ago, add a note.
No issues.
Done and saved.
So now it's all right there.
You can also set reminders.
So add your first reminder below.
So let's say we wanted to remind ourselves
when he needed to take his medicine.
Okay, so he needs to take his medicine daily,
every day at, let's say, 8:30.
And note, take two for instance, and save.
So now we have the reminder there all the time.
I love the concept of a training app that is basically
enabling you to keep notes,
particularly if you're out all day.
I see a really great use case for this app being,
hey, you're out with the family at the beach,
you're outside of your normal routine
and you need to document and keep things straight
because maybe you're playing volleyball,
or you're on the beach or whatever.
Maybe not in times like these, but perhaps.
I think definitely whenever you're out of your element
and it's not like normal,
hey, you get up, you take the dog outside,
or you have your normal routine you have what your pup.
This definitely helps keep everything logged
and in one place.
And it's very specific to your animal's needs.
These are all tasks that you would normally do
with your animal.
For instance, making sure that they're watered,
making sure that they're fed,
their prescription medications,
taking them for walks, logging their sleep,
or when they do their business, or other for that matter.
So you can choose your own emoji and basically assign it
and make it custom.
Pup to Date is a great app to help you track the needs
of your animal and help you get into a routine that's great.
I think this would have been particularly useful when Disney
was a small puppy and we were trying
to keep track of every little thing.
And especially when we doing the potty training phase.
When was the last time we went out?
You know, if it was you or your partner who did it,
and maybe you didn't have that communication
and you didn't remember when, you could just check the app.
So that would be a great feature.
Being able to sync, perhaps,
an account with another person to be able to use that data
to basically continue where you left off.
It looks like it's in the very developmental stages,
so I think this is a chance where the audience
actually really has a chance to be impactful
to the development of the future of this app.
Some features that I would like to see would be
some type of integration into the calendar app.
So I don't have to always navigate straight over to the app
to see some of the inputs that I have,
or I'm not going to necessarily scroll
all the way to my dog training apps,
find the Pup to Date app,
and then try to link that with anything
that I'm actually doing.
So more integrations with other software.
The other thing I would like to see in this app
is the ability to export the data.
Right now, it seems like I can only access the data
on the page where I'd have my inputs
and I basically have to scroll down through it.
Some way to be able to filter through that data
and actually make some meaningful analysis
out of what it all means when I aggregate it together,
that would be very beneficial
for the app and its future development.
Maybe even some suggestions in there,
or maybe a way to share routines,
that would be kind of neat as well.
So maybe there is a routine for particular type of training
and iterations that you want to make sure you get in,
or maybe there's a particular routine for a particular,
I don't know, just maybe make it more social.
I think the ability to share routines
would be pretty awesome.
I know I'm always searching YouTube videos
for different types of productivity routines.
Not that I really integrate all of the suggestions
into my personal routine,
but sometimes it's just nice to be able to see
what other people are doing
and see if you can take any of those best practices
and put them into your life.
If you guys have any feedback for the developers,
there is a tab straight from the app that you can access,
feature requests or general feedback,
and you can send a note straight to them.
I think it's a great app.
I think it's a great template and a great start.
I do like that it actually exists.
It's tailored to your animal and I think it could really
help you organize your daily routine.
There are tons of things developers are hoping to add
in the upcoming months too,
such as weekly and monthly reminders,
the Apple Watch app and more.
And they welcome the community's feedback
on your personal experiences with the app
and any feature requests that you would like to see
in the future.
