Pawsitronic turns your phone into a precision dog-training tool β€” an ultrasonic whistle, a synthesized clicker, and a full training system, all in one pocket-sized app. No extra hardware, no subscription. WHY PAWSITRONIC A traditional whistle is one fixed pitch. Pawsitronic gives you a continuously adjustable frequency from 8kHz (clearly audible) up to 22kHz (ultrasonic, headphone-range) β€” including the 15–18kHz range that's inaudible to most adults but within a phone speaker's range. Dial in the right tone for your dog, your household, and your training goal. FREE FOREVER - Adjustable frequency whistle, 8–22kHz - Sine, triangle & square waveforms - Pulse mode with adjustable rate - Sweep mode with adjustable width & speed - Synthesized clicker with a fully tunable tone β€” pitch, decay, resonance & gap β€” plus 4 built-in presets (Box, Metal, Soft, Sharp) - Unlimited dog profiles - Volume control & auto-stop timer - Built-in training tips PAWSITRONIC PRO β€” one-time unlock, no subscription - 5 built-in training programs: 7-Day Recall, 5-Day Attention, 5-Day Sit & Stay, 5-Day Stop & Leave, 7-Day Silent Command - 4 fire-and-forget training patterns: Recall, Stop, Sit, Attention - Session history with star ratings & notes - Effectiveness tracker β€” spot trends and find your dog's best-responding settings - Scheduled training reminders - Share your exact settings with a trainer or another owner via QR code Pro unlocks with a single one-time purchase β€” yours forever on that device. No recurring fees, ever. A NOTE ON USE Pawsitronic produces sound only β€” no ultrasonic emitters, no shock, no aversive stimulus. It's a training aid meant to be paired with positive-reinforcement methods, not a substitute for professional training advice. If your dog is sensitive to sound or prone to anxiety, introduce any new tone gradually and watch how they respond. Train smarter. Not louder.
