### 2/5 — Can’t read the directions

*2025-04-05*

I chose this app over all the others because another reviewer confirmed it is totally free and there is no “in app purchases” tag under the “Get” button. So, super excited. 

I couldn’t get through the first lesson!  There is not enough room on the screen making the words with the instructions cut off and there is no way to scroll down. How can I know what to do if I can’t read the instructions?  When the screen runs out of room, that’s it. And with the (necessary) banner advertising, a large cartoon eye-catching graphic, there is ONE line of instructional text. 
Step 3 only displayed two words, “Immediately rewar”
Reward for what??
If I could just scroll down to finish reading, or anything…

I went into my phone settings and decreased my font size, unchecked bold text, etc. this exposed three more lines of text for the doggie training instructions but still not all of the information. 

I’d give this app 1 star because it is entirely unusable due to the inability to scroll down to read the rest of the text. But I give it an extra star because it is entirely free.  Just need to fix this user interface/graphic design flaw.

**Developer response:** Hello Dear,

### 3/5 — Sounds do not work

*2026-01-22*

This app is completely free for simple trainings. I tried to use the clicker, but even with my volume all the way up, no sound comes out. This happened with other features in the app also.

### 5/5 — Best Free Puppy Training App EVER!!

*2026-05-30*

This app is 100% free, and is easy for your puppy to understand. My pup was very mischievous the first 6 months. But when we downloaded other apps like GoDog, we realized that it costs money. I downloaded some other apps, which were basically the same. But then, we downloaded this app, it was great! Our puppy understood every trick, and now he’s way more obedient thanks to this app! I would truly recommend it to new puppy owners.

### 5/5 — Best free puppy training app

*2026-03-01*

This is indeed totally free puppy training app without any in app purchase or paid plan. I have tried basic tricks that include sit, stand and stay turns out that the instructions and steps are clear enough to make bush learn the command easily. He loves the sounds too specifically the squeak toy sound. One improvement that I would suggest is to allow the sound in silent mode too. I notice sometimes that when phone is on mute the sound doesn’t play I don’t know if it is intentional or not but the sound should be allowed when the phone is on mute using silent switch. Overall it is a great app and on top of all I can access everything free by watching a short ad.

### 5/5 — Best free puppy training app

*2025-07-10*

After a long search and trying a few other apps I finally tried this one and I’ll be keeping it. It’s truly a complete free course for all the basic commands that a puppy can learn. Also the steps are clear and I do enjoy training sessions. The information in the app is good and every pet owner should try this.

### 5/5 — Best puppy training App

*2025-05-15*

I love this app, used it for 3 sessions and my pup does pickup the training really well. I just got a new puppy and was thinking of a new name. Fortunately I got this app and after using it my dog consistently responds to his name after a few training sessions. Really helpful apps with excellent illustrations and best practices.

### 5/5 — Best Puppy Training App

*2025-03-04*

Nice app for training your puppy. Good commands along with nice tutorials and visual instructions.

### 5/5 — Good App for Free Puppy Training

*2025-02-26*

This is an ok choice for me. I mostly do pet training using woofz, but for those who are willing to train their pets without hiring a trainer this app is good. The lessons are good and if you practice regularly the pets can get use to learn the cọmmands.

### 5/5 — Great puppy training App

*2024-12-28*

The most excised thing about DogSmart is that it offers all those features for free which are paid in other apps. It’s completely free puppy training and all the courses are unlocked. I’ve tried Woofz too but that one only offers the paid training, The DogSmart has all the features and with a plus point of being free!

### 5/5 — Excellent Puppy Training App

*2024-12-14*

Exactly what I was looking for. It is a must have app if you own a pet. I’ve tried many but almost all of them just trails and they want me to purchase the full version all the time. But this puppy app is exceptional, All the content is included in the app for free. Easy to follow steps and my puppy absolutely love the squeaking toy sound in this app. Thanks for such a great app.
