What's New in K

1.4.3

September 26, 2026

WHAT'S IN THIS VERSION ---------------------- 1.4.3 improves session feedback and the training record. FEEDBACK: When you log a drill, the AI coach evaluates it against that drill's published criteria. If the note doesn't contain enough to judge, the coach says what it needs and you can revise and resubmit. Feedback uses credits; the demo account has enough for review. RECORD: Your note and the coach's reply are saved with the session. Home > Progress > tap a week > tap a session to see them, along with the drill's criteria, steps and common mistakes. "Run this drill again" starts a fresh attempt from there. OTHER: Drills can be repeated any number of times. Tapping the last session on Home opens it. The dog switcher closes by swipe or by the X. The handler name field is a single "Your name". In-app purchase flows are unchanged from 1.4.2.

User reviews

I may be biased. Read at your discretion! :)

I trained with Maya several times and I am excited to see how far she has come. The K-9 Handler Academy app is quickly becoming an indispensable tool in my dog handling journey. I am equally excited about the prospect of training with Gus, Maya’s companion AI K-9 Handler Academy coach. The AI coaches’ professionalism and level of coaching are world class and awe inspiring. Training sessions using the app have been fun, effective, efficient, and stress-free for both handler and, I hope, dog :-)
