## What is Smidge?

Five minutes. That is the whole ask.

Smidge teaches your dog one command at a time, in sessions short enough that you
will actually do them. Watch a short clip, put the phone down, run the reps, mark
it done. Most lessons take under a minute.

WHY SHORT SESSIONS
Dogs learn more from a few short sessions spread through the day than from one
long one. That is not a productivity trick, it is the finding the whole app is
built on, and it is why nothing here asks for half an hour.

WHAT IS IN IT
29 commands and 101 lessons, each with its own clip.

The foundations: Sit, Down, Stay, Come, Leave it, Drop it, Take it, Name, Paw,
Place, Settle, Stand, Touch, Loose leash and Wait.
The everyday ones: Watch, Heel, Off, Up, In, Fetch and Find it.
And the ones that are just fun: Spin, Roll over, Bow, Back up, Middle, Chin rest
and Quiet.

SIX ARE FREE FOREVER
Sit, Down, Leave it, Paw, Name and Come never cost anything and are not a trial.
Come especially: a recall is the command that stops a dog running into a road,
and that does not belong behind a price.

HOW IT TEACHES
Every method here is reward-based and follows LIMA and the Humane Hierarchy.
Nothing in this app asks you to frighten, hurt, startle or physically force a
dog, and no lesson puts your hands on a dog to make a behaviour happen.

WHAT IT WILL NOT DO
Biting, guarding food or objects, reactivity to dogs or people, and distress at
being left alone are not training problems with app-sized answers. Smidge asks
about them up front and routes you to a certified professional instead of
teaching them. That routing is free and it does not unlock later.

Smidge is training guidance. It is not veterinary care and not behavioural
treatment. You know your dog and this app does not.

NO ACCOUNT, NO NAG
There is nothing to sign up for. Your dog's name and your progress stay on your
phone. No streak guilt, no countdown timers, and nothing pre-ticked anywhere.

SMIDGE PRO

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1.0 — 2026-09-05

Reminders. One a day at a time you choose, and never on a day you have already trained or a week you have already finished. Nothing arrives until you allow notifications, and the app only asks after your first lesson.

Why this works. The principle behind each lesson, folded under the steps and out of the way until you want it.

Your dog's age now changes what the app says as they grow. Adolescence gets its note when it actually arrives, instead of once at setup.

Cautions where a movement asks something of a body: an older dog's joints, a big puppy's growth plates. Never a lock, always a caution, and only where the app knows enough to mean it.

### 1.0 — 2026-08-29

No release notes.
