Guided path
Step-by-step training plan
Every command is split into short levels on one guided path, from the very first steps to practice in real life. Ruffy always shows what comes next, so you pick up right where you left off.
Video lessons
Learn with video lessons
Every lesson shows a real dog doing the exercise, then breaks it into a few clear steps: guide with a treat, add the word, fade the lure, then practice around real-life distractions. Watch, practice, reward.
Library
Skills, games and guides
Everyday skills, day-by-day plans for real problems like leash pulling, barking or puppy biting, brain games for quieter days, and guides on care and food. All in one place, whenever you need it.
Day-by-day plans
Stop leash pulling
Start with loose-leash walking: a 7-day plan with one short practice a day, from finding the reward zone to making tension boring. No jerking, no scolding. The walk simply keeps going while the leash stays loose.
On the go
Track every dog walk
Record your route, distance, time and pace, and control it all from your Lock Screen. Snap photos along the way and they stay pinned to the map, right where they happened.
Wellbeing
Track your dog’s health
Check in on your dog's mood in two taps, log weight and bathroom breaks in seconds, and see the week's activity at a glance. Small changes are easy to miss day to day. Ruffy helps you spot them early.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is Ruffy good for puppies and adult dogs?
Yes. The path starts from the very foundations and works up from there, whatever your dog's age. When you set your dog up, you can mark the commands they already know as learned, and the path picks up right where you are.
How much time does training take?
About five minutes a day. Lessons are short on purpose, because dogs learn best in brief, happy sessions that end on a win.
What training method does Ruffy use?
Ruffy is built entirely on positive reinforcement: kind, force-free methods using rewards and a marker word (or the built-in clicker). No punishment, ever.
What will my dog learn?
Essential commands for everyday life: sit, down, stay, coming when called, loose-leash walking, impulse control and more, each broken into short step-by-step lessons. New commands and lessons keep being added.
Does Ruffy do more than training?
Yes. The library has day-by-day plans for common problems like leash pulling, barking and puppy biting, plus brain games, care guides and food tips. Ruffy also tracks your walks on a map with photos pinned where they happened, keeps an eye on your dog's health (mood, weight, bathroom habits and activity) and celebrates your progress with streaks and badges.
Is the app free?
A lot of Ruffy is free: walk tracking on the map, health tracking, streaks and badges, and the first commands of the training path. Ruffy Premium unlocks everything else: every lesson on the path, your complete walk history and multiple dogs.
