About

Lobi

Features
Read full description

Five minutes a day. A dog that gets it. Lobi teaches your dog tricks and good behaviour in short, cheerful sessions you fit into an ordinary day. Every step has its own drawing, so you can see exactly what you are aiming for. The app is named after a real dog: Lobi, a Jackapoo with a scruffy black coat and a brown muzzle, is the model for every drawing in it. WHAT IS INSIDE 35 tricks, step by step From sit to the big show, across five star levels. Every trick comes with a plan, a drawing per step, and a session that talks you through the exercise. 25 behavior programmes Pulling on the lead, barking at everything, not coping alone, jumping up at visitors, fear of fireworks, nail trimming. Not loose tips but a programme of several days, one exercise a day and a clear goal. And honest about when to call in a behaviorist. Courses that run alongside your dog school Puppy, adolescent, obedience, agility, scent work, hoopers, dog dancing and canicross, laid out week by week. The app is the homework next to the class. Clicker and whistle built in Click at exactly the right moment, with a little haptic tap. No more losing the gadget in a coat pocket. The Tick Scanner After a walk through tall grass, switch the camera to inverted colours. That stark contrast makes those tiny dark specks stand out against the fur. Free, no subscription needed. TRAINING THAT FEELS LIKE A GAME You and your dog climb a winding path. Every session earns points, you dig up treasure chests along the way, and each level ends with a mini exam and a trophy. Each trick earns a crown once your dog can do it anywhere, not only in the living room. A daily streak and a weekly challenge keep you going. You start where you already are: tick off what your dog can do and the path adjusts to that. Good news for an older dog too. THE OWNER'S SCHOOL Between the tricks sit short chapters on how a dog learns, why rewarding works and what to avoid. Two minutes of reading often changes more than one more repetition. FREE AND LOBI PLUS Free stays free: the whole first star level, the puppy course, the programmes for the lead and for recall, the clicker, the whistle and the Tick Scanner. No trial that quietly runs out on you. Lobi Plus opens all 35 tricks and all 25 programmes, and lets you add as many dogs as you like. 29.99 euro a year or 3.99 euro a month. Dutch and English, both complete. You pick the language inside the app, separate from the language of your phone. Everything you enter stays on your device: no account, no tracking, no ads. Lobi Da Basi, love is the boss. SUBSCRIPTION Lobi Plus renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You manage and cancel it in your Apple account. Payment is charged to your Apple account on confirmation. Privacy policy: https://bitma.nl/lobi/privacy.html Terms: https://bitma.nl/lobi/voorwaarden.html
