After a few months on the App Store, I started getting reviews that it was working great at calming a puppy. Now rebranded and updated to focus on calming that new puppy, the Puppy Calmer is made to be simple. Puppy Calmer is a super easy-to-use, soothing noise-maker app for the nervous puppy. With a sound that specially formulated for the small speakers of iPods/iPads/iPhones, this app is meant to comfort the pup with the reassuring, familiar sound of mommy’s heartbeat. Over 60 days, the sound will slowly fade out, allowing the puppy to slowly adjust to the stillness of the night and not have to depend on having background noise throughout their life. Every new addition can have a tough night, so the app allows you to add back as many days as you like if the sound needs to be a little louder on a tough night. One simple screen shows the Play, Pause and Timer buttons. The app can be set to play for 10, 30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes, or for an unlimited amount of time. It remembers your choice from the last time you opened the app, so no need to reset each time. Just press play!

This knocked her out, she was calmer, 100% works and worth the dollar. It’s just a buck and gives comfort to my little one. ### 2/5 — Not working no sound *2023-03-18* I was using this app before then now when I try to use it I get no sound. ### 5/5 — People calmer, too *2021-06-26* I originally purchased to use with my puppy on our first night together with lots of crying on both of our parts. Worked like a charm to calm her (and kept me, as a first time puppy mom, from immediately throwing in the towel and giving her back to the friend who’d gifted her to me). Have used ever since (puppy child is now 4 years old!) but mostly for myself now. It helps with my own sleepless nights as the best white noise ever. ### 5/5 — Greatest app ever! *2020-04-17* We have tried this app since day one of bringing our puppy home. She was only 7 weeks so we were worried. We play it every night , all night, and she has slept through the night since day one! Worth every penny! I couldn’t recommend it enough! ### 5/5 — Puppy slept through the night on the first use! *2017-01-03* Had a rough couple of nights with whining and crate escape, tried the app out of desperation and it worked on the first go! Our pup was 9 weeks old and slept through the night. Magic! ### 5/5 — Thank you!! *2016-04-24* Worked very well. My newly adopted puppy was crying at night for hours (first night home), I ran the app and she slept till the morning. Thank you !! Great app! ### 5/5 — Miracle 🐶 *2016-04-11* I got a chihuahua. Night 1 - crying and whimpering most of the night, next day I was exhausted. Night 2 - settled slightly quicker than previous night but 2 hours later crying again. At 1am I wondered if there was an app to help me??? I'm quite tight and rarely pay for an app especially with no reviews but I was desperate to sleep!! I downloaded and played the noise which sounds to me like someone jumping on a bed and the crying instantly quietened to nothing in a few minutes. She slept for 5 hours! Night 3 - into the cage with a teddy you heat in the microwave and the app playing with not one sound!!! Best 79p I ever spent. ### 2/5 — Shuts off *2015-07-19* Screen saver comes on, app goes off. Difficult to help dog sleep if it goes off with the screen saver. ### 3/5 — App shuts off *2015-04-27* The sound on the app works well but it shuts off if I use another app or check my mail when it is working. Also shuts off when the screensaver locks the screen. Can this be fixed? ## Frequently asked questions about Puppy Calmer ### How does Puppy Calmer work?
