## What is OTONARE?

Is your dog afraid of thunder, fireworks, or doorbells? OTONARE helps your furry friend overcome sound fears through gentle, science-based desensitization training — no punishment, no aversive methods.

HOW IT WORKS

Desensitization is a proven technique used by veterinarians and dog trainers worldwide. The idea is simple: play a scary sound at a very low volume, reward your dog for staying calm, and gradually increase the volume over time. OTONARE makes this process easy and trackable.

SOUND LIBRARY

Choose from 15+ carefully curated sounds across 5 categories:

- Nature: Thunder, rain, strong wind, fireworks
- Home: Doorbell, intercom, vacuum cleaner, hair dryer
- Outdoor: Construction noise, sirens, car horns, motorcycles
- Animals: Other dogs barking, cats meowing
- Events: Festival fireworks, starting pistols, drums

Each sound has its own volume slider, so you can set different levels for different sounds in a single session.

5-MINUTE SESSIONS

Each training session is a focused 5-minute countdown. Short sessions prevent overwhelming your dog and make it easy to fit training into your daily routine. Need a break? Use the pause button. Want to keep going? Start another session right away.

TRACK YOUR DOG'S PROGRESS

Rate your dog's reaction to each sound on a simple 0-4 scale — from "Very scared" to "No reaction at all." Once a sound reaches level 3 or above, it's marked as cleared. Watch your dog's progress grow on the home screen graph as more sounds get cleared over time.

DESIGNED WITH YOUR DOG'S WELFARE IN MIND

OTONARE never uses punishment or startling sounds to train your dog. The app is built on positive reinforcement principles:

- Start at barely audible volumes
- Let your dog set the pace
- Reward calm behavior with treats and praise
- Stop immediately if your dog shows distress

If your dog has severe anxiety, we recommend consulting a veterinarian or certified dog behaviorist.
