## What is Pawsitive Pooch?

Pawsitive Pooch was created to help with desensitising dogs exhibiting noise anxiety.

The design is very basic, but it may help acclimatising your dog to sound recordings of various categories of noise (e.g, fireworks) through it has the ability to gradually increase the volume and/or repetition frequency.

- The play settings screen allows you to control the number of sound repeats and whether the volume remains the same for each repetition or will gradually increment.

- An adjustable time delay can also be added between repetitive recordings to prevent the sounds from just becoming background noise.

- You can make and save your own audio recordings giving you more control over specific sounds that distress your dog.

- You can add sound effects from the internet. Download using your browser and import them into the app under the "My Imports" category.

This app will always be free.
