## What is Ruffy?

Ruffy turns dog training into something you can actually keep up with: one guided path, one short lesson a day, and a dog who gets easier to live with week by week. Built entirely on positive reinforcement, for puppies and adult dogs alike.

ONE GUIDED PATH, NO GUESSWORK
Every lesson is a step on a single path, so you always know exactly what to practice next. Over 50 bite-sized lessons across 16 commands: your marker word, their name, sit, lie down, stay, come when called, hand touch, heel, leave it, drop it, wait, place, settle, off, paw and fetch.

Each command is broken down the way a trainer would do it. Guide with a treat, add the word, fade the lure, then practice around real-life distractions. Clear steps, video demos where seeing it beats reading it, and sessions short enough to finish before your dog loses interest.

Already have a dog who knows a few things? Mark what they already do when you set them up, and the path picks up right where you are.

POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT, ALWAYS
Kind, force-free methods using rewards and a marker word, or the clicker built right into the app. No punishment, no aversives, ever. Training your dog will look forward to.

WALKS THAT BECOME MEMORIES
Track your route, distance and time on the map, and control the whole walk from your Lock Screen with a Live Activity. Snap photos along the way and they stay pinned to the map exactly where they happened, so your dog's story builds up place by place.

Collectibles appear on the map as you walk, and you can decorate your memories with stickers made from your own photos.

HEALTH AT A GLANCE
Log weight and bathroom breaks in seconds and watch the trends over time. Small changes are easy to miss day to day. Ruffy helps you notice them early.

KEEP THE HABIT
One lesson or one walk keeps your streak alive. Earn badges as you go, and let the daily reminder nudge you at a time that suits you. Dogs learn by repetition, and Ruffy is built to make the habit stick.

SPEAKS YOUR LANGUAGE
Available in more than 20 languages, and the commands are not just translated. Each language uses the cues dog parents really say on the street.

WHAT IS FREE
Walk tracking with the Live Activity and the memory map, photos, collectibles and stickers, health logging and trends, streaks, badges, the clicker, and the first commands of the training path.

RUFFY PREMIUM
Premium unlocks the rest of the path, your complete walk history, and profiles for as many dogs as you have.

Ruffy Premium is offered as a weekly or a yearly subscription, with a free trial on the yearly plan. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.
