Tempaw

Tempaw helps you train longer, calmer holds without turning every session into a guessing game with your stopwatch. Whether you’re working on sit, stay, down, place, or settling, Tempaw gives you repeating timers that make it easier to reward your dog at the right moment and build duration step by step. Start simple with a fixed timer, like rewarding every 10 seconds. Switch to random intervals when you want to make reinforcement less predictable and strengthen the behavior. Or create custom sequences that gradually increase over time, with durations that can run in order or shuffle between reps. During each session, Tempaw tracks both total time and time since the last reset, so when your dog gets up, wanders off, or suddenly remembers the floor is interesting, you can reset and keep going. Add interval sounds as a clear marker for rewards, use haptics when you want to keep things quiet, and train from your Apple Watch when your phone is not convenient. Tempaw also includes a Live Activity for checking the current timer from outside the app. It is a focused training companion for dog owners who want more structure, less clock-watching, and a better way to build reliable commands over time.
