iOS iPhone and Apple Watch

Dog training that starts where your dog is.

Every other app starts you at week one. Proof starts with a graded baseline of 41 skills, then builds a daily plan that tells you exactly why it chose each session.

Free for a week. No subscription, no account, no ads — ever.

Four things no other dog app does.

Nine competitors were taken apart binary by binary before a line of this was written. These are the gaps that were actually there.

01 — The baseline

It starts where your dog already is.

Before any lesson, grade 41 skills against a written bar: solid, partly, or not yet. The plan is built from that grade — so nothing your dog already knows gets taught back to you.

  • Every skill has a measurable bar for “solid”
  • Or answer eight questions and it works out the rest
  • “No idea what breed” is a valid answer

02 — The plan

Every session says why it was chosen.

“Because Juno hit 8 of 10 reps last session — time for the next step.” A plan that can’t explain itself is a video catalogue. And you can argue with it: tell any card it was too easy, too hard, or impossible today, and tomorrow changes.

  • Reasons built from your real rep counts
  • Two rough sessions and it steps back a stage — and says so
  • Tomorrow’s card tells you it changed because you said so

03 — Outside, one-handed

Built for a dog on a long line.

Two huge pads, a haptic on every rep so you feel it land without looking, and almost nothing to read. Eyes-off mode turns the whole screen into two zones. Fully offline — field, park, basement, aeroplane.

  • Hits and misses feel different in the hand
  • Every stage covers what to do when it goes wrong
  • No network code exists in the app at all

04 — The record

Something you can hand to a professional.

One page of every proven skill and the bar it cleared — for a trainer taking on a new client, a vet, a boarding kennel, or a rescue rehoming a dog with its training history attached. Film ten seconds the day a skill is proven; it never leaves your phone.

  • Canine Good Citizen–style readiness, item by item
  • Export everything as JSON, any time
  • No account means nothing to be locked out of

We read 32,000 reviews so you didn’t have to.

Nine competitors were pulled apart binary by binary and 859 of their most recent App Store reviews were classified by complaint. These three came up most. Each one is a design decision here, not a promise.

“I cancelled before the trial period ended and they still charged me $38.95.”

There is no trial that converts and nothing to cancel. One payment, once, handled by Apple.

“I purchased the lifetime plan… at some point I was logged out. Whenever I try to login…”

In Proof

There are no accounts. Your purchase lives on your Apple ID and your data lives on your phone. Nothing to lose a login to.

“Just seems like a generic course for a new puppy even though mine isn’t.”

In Proof

The graded baseline exists so the plan starts where your dog is — never at week one.

“Proven” means proven everywhere.

A sit that only works in the kitchen isn’t trained — it’s situational. Proof records where every rep happened, and a skill only counts once it holds up in three different places. Leave it two months and it comes back on the board, because that is what actually happens to trained behaviour.

Not yet

Never trained, and honest about it.

Building

Working up the ladder, stage by stage.

Works somewhere

Clears the bar — but only where it was taught.

Proven

Holds up in three different places. Expires if neglected.

Apple Watch

Count reps without looking at anything.

Your plan appears on your wrist. Two pads fill the screen, hits and misses feel different in the hand, and the session lands back on your phone the moment you finish — or the moment you’re back in range.

  • Today’s three sessions, pushed from the phone
  • Distinct haptics, so you never look down mid-rep
  • Out of range? It queues and syncs when you’re back
  • Your phone stays the only place data is written

Of the ten dog-training apps on the App Store, one other has a watch app at all — and it doesn’t mention it in its own listing.

Where we stop

Three things this app refuses to do.

Separation distress, reactivity and resource guarding need someone who can watch your dog. Generic advice applied to a panicking dog makes it worse, and every competitor sells exactly these as courses. Tell Proof one of them is your problem and it says so plainly, trains the prevention work, and names the kind of professional to look for.

  • Panics when left alonePrevention only. Then: an ABTC-registered CAB, a CAAB, or a veterinary behaviourist.
  • Lunges at dogs or strangersThreshold work depends on reading your dog in the moment. Distance first, professional second.
  • Growls over food or toysTrade games are trained. The treatment protocol is not — it responds badly to improvisation.

It speaks your language.

Proof follows your device, or you can pick a language in Settings. Every screen is translated — the lessons, the skill bars and the plan — while your dog's name and your own notes stay as you wrote them.

One price. Seriously.

Every dog training app on the App Store is a free download monetised by subscription. Without exception. This one isn’t.

Questions people actually ask.

Does it work without signal?
Entirely. There is no network code in the app — no account, no server, no analytics. Training happens in fields and basements, so offline is the design, not a fallback.
What if my dog is scared of the clicker?
Tell it once at setup and the clicker disappears from the whole app, replaced by a marker word or a hand signal. The marker is a property of your dog, not a settings toggle.
Will it help with barking, anxiety or reactivity?
Not directly, and it says so. Separation distress, reactivity and resource guarding need a person who can watch your dog — generic advice applied to a panicking dog makes it worse. Proof trains the prevention work and tells you what kind of professional to look for.
Who wrote the training content?
It is standard positive-reinforcement marker training, written fresh for this app. Every protocol is marked as draft pending review by a credentialed trainer, and the app says so on every session screen until that review is signed off.
What happens to my data?
It lives on your phone. Export the lot as JSON whenever you like. Deleting the app deletes the data — there is no copy anywhere else, which is the point.
