Walks should not fill you with dread. If your dog lunges, barks or freezes at other dogs, strangers, bikes or the doorbell, BarkBento is a calm, force-free way through it - expert behavior programs broken into five-minute daily exercises anyone can keep up. PROGRAMS BUILT FOR YOUR DOG'S CHALLENGE Calm Foundations, Leash Reactivity, Dog-Dog, Strangers, Separation Anxiety, Window and Barrier, and Over-Arousal. Each is a repeatable week-long module grounded in real positive-reinforcement methods - Look At That, Engage-Disengage, pattern games, graduated departures. FIVE MINUTES, GUIDED START TO FINISH Every session gives you the steps, a timer, a plain-language "why this works", and a word of encouragement. It all works offline, so a bad-signal walk is never a blocker. FINALLY SEE IT WORKING Your simple session and walk logs become a Calm Score, a shrinking working distance (calm at 15 ft, down from 40), and gentle trends - so the small wins stop feeling invisible. CELEBRATE THE PROGRESS Build a before-and-after progress card from your dog's own numbers and photos, entirely on your device, and share how far you have come. KIND, AND HONEST ABOUT ITS LIMITS Reward-based only - no shock, no prong, no false promises. If your dog has ever bitten, BarkBento points you to a certified behavior consultant or veterinary behaviorist instead. It is training support, not veterinary advice, and no outcome is guaranteed. BARKBENTO PRO (optional subscription) Free includes Calm Foundations and Leash Reactivity, the daily session player, your Calm Score, 7-day trends, the trigger diary and the whole Toolkit for one dog. Pro unlocks all five specialist programs, unlimited dogs, 30-day trends and full distance analysis, pattern insights, progress cards and progress reports. - $14.99 per month or $119.99 per year, each with a 7-day free trial - Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation; auto-renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel anytime in your App Store settings Privacy Policy: https://preview.apppublishing.ai/legal/653/privacy Terms of Use (EULA): https://preview.apppublishing.ai/legal/653/terms
