About

FLOOF

Read full description

FLOOF is your daily “Headspace for dogs” – super short, science-informed activities that help you actually do something with your dog every day, in under 5 minutes. Instead of endless scrolling or feeling guilty that you “should train more,” FLOOF gives you one simple, clear task at a time. Open the app, see today’s activity, do it with your dog, done. Each FLOOF task is: Fast – most sessions are 2–5 minutes Guided – step-by-step, no experience needed Weather-aware – ideas that work whether it’s pouring rain or perfect park weather Enriching – built around scent work, problem-solving, calmness, and connection Examples of FLOOF activities: The Muffin Tin Puzzle – turn a muffin tray, tennis balls, and kibble into a tiny nose-work challenge. The Towel Burrito – slow feeding and foraging with nothing but a towel and treats. Novel Surface Walk – build confidence by walking over safe, weird textures indoors. Quiet Settle Mat – teach your dog that relaxing on a mat makes good things happen. Chin Rest on Palm – lay foundations for cooperative care, vet visits, and grooming. Behind the scenes, FLOOF balances: Scent + problem-solving games that tire your dog’s brain Training + impulse control drills that make real life easier (doors, walks, visitors) Confidence + novelty tasks for shy or sensitive dogs Bonding moments where your dog gets focused, undistracted time with you Perfect for: Busy humans who don’t have an hour for training Dogs who are “bouncy,” bored, or under-stimulated Cold, hot, or rainy days when long walks aren’t realistic Puppies learning about the world and adult dogs who need a job With FLOOF you can: Get a fresh daily task in just a tap Filter by indoor / outdoor when the weather is awful (or amazing) Mix categories like scent, training, novelty, calm, physical Build a simple “we did it” streak to keep yourself accountable No complicated equipment. No guilt. Just tiny, high-quality moments that add up to a calmer, happier dog and a stronger bond between you and your floof.
