BLUEFANG Dog Trainer The new, improved Bluefang dog training app makes training your dog quick and easy. It turns your phone into a hand-held training device and can be used with or without our Bluefang Bluetooth dog training collar. DOG BMI CALCULATOR: Enter your dog’s breed, gender, height and weight. The app instantly calculates your dog’s BMI showing its current fitness level verses ideal. WITH THE COLLAR: The app remotely operates the Bluefang dog training collar, via Bluetooth, with a range of up to 400 feet, to provide REMOTE TRAINING, BARK CONTROL and ACTIVITY TRACKING. Some Bluefang collar models work with High Tech Pet’s electronic fence systems, electronic dog doors and other dog controlled accessories. Linking is wireless and quick. REMOTE TRAINING: The app remotely activates any of 6 audible training tones generated by the collar, each associated with a specific, user defined, command. It also activates a clicker device in the collar used to positively enforce desired dog behavior. You may also activate the collar’s vibration generator and static stimulus generator used to deter unwanted or dangerous behavior. The intensity and duration of the static stimulus may be individually controlled and adjusted to your dog’s unique temperament. The app controls an unlimited number of collars. Each collar may be given a unique stimulus profile specific to the individual dog wearing the collar. BARK CONTROL: The Bluefang Collar has built in bark control that may be activated and tailored to your dog via the app. Choose from 3 training modes. Normal mode stops all barking. Anti-Intruder mode stops nuisance barking but allows the more excited type of barking your dog exhibits when barking at an intruder or emergency. Anti-Howl mode stops barking and howling. ACTIVITY MONITOR: Track your dog’s motion throughout the day and view the minutes spent and calories burned at each of 5 activity levels. Data may be displayed by day, week, month or year and is stored for view when not linked to the collar. ELECTRONIC FENCE: Some Bluefang collar models have a built-in electronic fence receiver to work with any High Tech Pet electronic fence transmitter. The transmitter sends a radio signal through a boundary wire you bury around your yard to administer static stimulus if your dog attempts to cross the boundary. This feature also works with High Tech Pet’s SUPER SCRAM mat that causes the collar to emit stimulus whenever the dog steps on the mat keeping your dog off furniture, away from trash cans and other “off limits” areas. Electronic fence may be remotely toggled on and off with the app. ELECTRONIC PET DOOR: Some Bluefang models have a built-in ultrasonic transmitter that operates High Tech Pet’s motorized Power Pet door that automatically opens on your dog’s approach. Also operates the High Tech Pet Sound Barrier and Yard Barrier portable sonic fences. The app lets you remotely toggle this feature on and off. The app controls an unlimited number of collars and lets you create a unique profile for each, including dog name, commands, stimulus level and bark control settings. Includes in-app help screens. ## Key features - Remote collar operation - Bark control modes - Activity and calorie tracking - Dog BMI calculator - Electronic fence integration - Pet door operation ## Recent user reviews (10 of 21) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/bluefang-dog-trainer-and-fitness/id1252004511/reviews.md ### 1/5 — Can’t add more than one dog *2024-12-18, version 4.1.9* Because the app’s home screen is inaccessible due to 1) freezing and 2) button location and size. Unusable app. Ridiculous, why would I even update firmware ### 1/5 — This app doesn’t work *2024-07-15, version 4.1.9* The app doesn’t work. Crashes upon login or registration every time. Yet the company is still selling these blue franc collars that are basically useless when the app doesn’t work. Why require a login to make your collar work if you’re not going to maintain the app? ### 1/5 — User interface is pathetic *2022-09-08, version 4.1.9* Given the high price of the devices that require this app for configuration & control, you would think that they would put a little thought into the design and functionality of the app. I can’t begin to tell you the number of times that I have attempted to make a simple adjustment to the settings for one of my dogs, only to find that a duplicate configuration file has been created. Trying to determine which is the revised version (without creating, yet another duplicate) so that I can delete the old one, can be a serious pain. More annoying is the fact that years after the introduction of the iPhone notch, with the system shifting significant items to the upper left and right corners of the screen, this app has not been revised to move the squared-hamburger menu selection button down, below this space. I regularly use the app to check the battery level of the bluefang collars on my three dogs. It is extremely difficult to open the menu and switch between dogs, without accidentally selecting the back/previous-app system option that occupies about half of the same space as the menu button. Frankly, I’m amazed that Apple hasn’t pulled this app from the store for violating user interface design standards / requirements. ### 1/5 — Need Update BAD *2022-05-23, version 4.1.9* I bought the pet containment system and so far so good there. This app however needs some work. It’s been over a year since it’s last update. The toast menu option and ellipsis selection (3 dots) are too high on the screen. An update should easily fix this. I will revise my review if/when this happens. ### 2/5 — Please update *2022-05-22, version 4.1.9* It works to control collar functions but none of the data is sent back to app ### 1/5 — Useless *2022-04-11, version 4.1.9* So hard to use. Haven’t figured it out. It’s very frustrating. Think will return collar if still can as doesn’t allow me to do what I thought it would. ### 2/5 — So hard *2021-11-21, version 4.1.9* App is so hard to use. So hard to have the buttons work when you hit them. So hard to set up. So hard to share information ( in fact haven figured that out yet) It truly is a painful experience, using this app. ### 1/5 — VERY EXPENSIVE AND VERY DISAPPOINTING PRODUCT *2021-11-16, version 4.1.9* I have purchased the HC-7000 DELUXE ELECTRONIC DOG FENCE + 2 pieces of the DTS-1 DRIVEWAY CROSSING STRIP + 4 pieces (since I got 4 dogs) of the BF-30 5 BLUEFANG 5-IN-1 SUPER COLLAR for a whopping $830.93 delivered yesterday, set it up today, tried it AND WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED. Read previous reviews and I was having the same issues with the app. I think main problem here is the APP!!!! HITECPET NEEDS to PROPERLY UPDATE THE APP!!! ### 1/5 — Crap app *2021-09-25, version 4.1.9* This app is the worst. My husband and I have the app on our phones. The app installed fine and synced to the collar for his phone, then when it was time for mine wouldn’t work. It took almost a week of us trying before it suddenly started to work. Since then it is nothing but problems. The app will suddenly close. Not sync to the collar. Lose connection if my dog is more than a couple of feet away. Sometimes it won’t work even if he is next to me… we use it for training and a fence. The collar works great. The app is crap. Wish I would have got a different collar system. ### 3/5 — Old App *2021-03-11, version 4.1.9* This app worked well last year. Now it seems to be slow. Changing settings doesn’t always work. Menu setting can take 4 or 5 tries to bring it up. BMI calculator is way off (low) for Standard Poodles. ## Frequently asked questions about Bluefang Dog Trainer & Fitness ### What is Bluefang's primary function?
